Dust off the winter doldrums, spring is around the corner! Chances are you’ll soon be spending more time outside, so why not bring the outside in by inspiring your space with these 3 basic tips?
Color. It’s the name of the game. A gallon of paint can do wonders for a space. Bright shades of blue, green, yellow, purple and coral are associated with spring, so are pastels. So pick a color and go for it—whether you’re covering an entire room or just one wall, your space will stand out. And if you tire of your selection in the fall, you can always cover it.
Textiles. Designers have already brought out their spring lines: pillows, slipcovers, rugs and linens. But that doesn’t mean you have to spend a bundle to get the look. Add a burst of white to the dining table. Floral patterns are inherently springy. Swap a heavier floor covering for a jute or seagrass rug. Drape a vibrant throw over your favorite chair. If you want a custom look, go to your local fabric store, where you can coordinate color, textiles and window coverings for a seamless look that’s sure to impress.
Window Coverings: The dark days of winter are over. While the sunshine is a welcome change, it may be more intense than your house can handle. So how do you avoid heavier drapery fabrics in favor of a more season appropriate window covering, without sacrificing shade? Roman shades are a simple, clean option to block the sun and maintain privacy. If you hang them in a basic white or cream, you can then layer them with patterned or bright colored drapes. It’s also possible to have linens lined with a thick, sun-stopping fabric.
The best part about switching up your style? It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. By integrating a few updated pieces, your room will sparkle like new.
