After a long winter, spring is finally here, and it is time to break out the bold colors and put away your sweaters and coats. Just as spring screams for color on your apparel, it screams the same thing right inside your home.
Peel away layers of drab and brighten up your home with a few quick and easy steps. Read the following tips to transform your home instantly:
- Incorporate flowers. Flowers add lots of color and life to rooms. Fill vases with freshly cut flowers and bring your home to life with a few plants.
- Reinvent rooms with paint. Painting is the cheapest way to redecorate while still making a big impact. Do away with beige colors and expand your color palette to give your home a bright spring feel. If you are nervous about doing anything too drastic, opt for a lighter shade of an existing color in the room.
- Put your winter items in storage. Sometimes de-cluttering and downsizing can make a huge difference on how your home looks and feels. Pack away heavy winter coats in boxes until they’re needed next year. Seeing an empty coat rack is sometimes just the thing you need to get yourself in season.
- Let the sunshine in. Opening up the curtains can lift the mood of a dark winter home instantly. Swap out heavy, darker curtains with sheer lightly colored ones for the spring and summer months to give your home a lighter look.
There are many ways to brighten up the inside of your home without breaking the bank.
