Spring can be a welcome time of year after a long, cold winter. Many of us feel bored afterlooking at the same old traditional way of decorating our rooms so spring is the right time to look for a change. It is all about color, fresh design and rebirth. Welcome spring into your home and bring out the hues that signify the new season green, yellow, pink, purple and blue using freshly cut flowers, potted plants, found objects and furniture recovered in lightweight fabrics.  It is the right time and a wonderful chance to refresh your home

If spring is your favorite season, you may want your home to reflect the refreshing colors that are associated with this time of year. From painting to bringing in fresh light, there are many simple things you can do to bring spring into your home. Choose pastels and floral prints to reflect nature in your home. Throws, pillows, vases and window treatments reflecting these spring themes can be incorporated into your home with little effort or expense. Keep a similar theme throughout your accent pieces and they will work together to make your room seem unified and comfortable. Freshen up an entire room with a new coat of paint. Colors that are light and airy are often suggestive of spring.

Spring hosts a number of flowers for the purpose of decorating.  You can complement your spring decor with a centerpiece of fresh flowers for the dining room or coffee table. Blooms like tulips or daisies are ideal and can either contrast or complement the other decor colors in the room In addition to the floral selections above, don’t forget to include such springtime blooms as sweet peas, lilies, amaryllis, anemones, birds of paradise and cherry blossoms too. Let the sunlight in and enjoy the spring season indoors and out.
