How to Decorate Your House for Spring


How to Decorate Your House for Springthumbnail
Houseplants snd fresh flowers are easy ways to decorate your home for spring.
Spring can be a welcome time of year after a long, cold winter. Capturing the atmosphere of spring brings a spirit of fresh air and cheer to your home. You can decorate your home for spring with just a few changes, adding a sense of openness and nature to rooms, mirroring the seasonal colors outside.

Instructions

    • 1
      Choose pastels and floral prints to reflect the rebirth of nature in your home. Throws, pillows, vases and window treatments reflecting these spring themes can be incorporated into your home with minimal effort or expense. Keep a similar theme going between all your accents and they will work together to make your room seem unified and comfortable.
    • 2
      Freshen up an entire room with a new coat of paint. Colors that are light and airy are often suggestive of spring. Look at a few different shades of your chosen color to pick one that coordinates with your existing decor.
    • 3
      Keep some houseplants in your home. Plants add a touch of nature to your home, adding color, warmth and balance, according to Jon Carloftis, garden designer and author of “Beyond the Windowsill.” One or two plants per room make rooms feel more inviting, and their green colors reflect the beauty of spring.
    • 4
      Natural fibers give a spring feeling to your home decor.
      Use natural fabrics and textures. Wicker furniture and jute rugs are examples of textures that bring a sense of nature to your rooms.
    • 5
      Place fresh flowers in your rooms. The aroma and bright colors are a reminder that spring is in the air. When cutting stems, cut at a 45-degree angle. Use preservatives in the water to extend flower life.
    • 6
      Let the sunlight in when you can. Replace window treatments that have dark colors or heavy textures with light panels that move freely.
