Get a fresh new feel in your home this Spring. Find out how to get beautiful Spring decorating styles with minimum hassle and expense...
At this time of year, as the sun streams in through the window, I'm sure that for you, as for me, your thoughts turn towards Spring and Summer...
This is the time of year, when everything in nature is fresh and new, that your home decorating can start to look a little tired, old and scruffy. You might be tempted to do a whole makeover, but there are actually some easy ways that you can get that lovely fresh Spring-like feel into your home, without too much hassle or effort (always good!)
Don't forget the old favorite: the Spring Clean! Spring is a traditional time to oust the dust and grime from your home. Days are longer and the light is brighter, so it is much easier to spot dirt lurking in those forgotten corners. Take the opportunity for a thorough Spring clean and de-clutter, and your home will thank you for it. See, it's looking better already!
Now your home is lovely, clean and clutter-free, open the windows, curtains and blinds wide and let the sunlight come streaming in.
Take down heavy curtains, and replace with lighter alternatives to give a fresher feel. Net or voile, or anything pale and flowery is always an excellent choice for Spring.
In the Winter time you have probably enjoyed cosying up to thick throws and furry cushions, and rich reds, browns and oranges in your color scheme. In the Spring and Summer, these dark and warm colors can just seem a little over-powering.
Spring and Summer colors are pale, pastels and fresh, floral colors - think of the colors in nature at this time, blue skies, green grass and foliage, white fluffy clouds and lambs, and pretty spring-time flowers all make up the natural palette of Spring. It is a good idea to take your inspiration from these colors.
Don't worry; this needn't be a massive makeover with painting of walls and much expenditure. Do as much or as little as you want. Some new cushions, throws, pictures or accessories can make your transition to a Spring time interior decorating scheme easy.
For the ultimate in easy makeovers, paring down your clutter, and something as simple as a pretty new vase with big bunches of fresh Spring time flowers can really make a huge difference at brightening up your home and really getting you in the Spring and Summer-time frame of mind.
