Tips for Easy Decor Spring Fixes!

The weather is warmer. Trees are budding. Flowers are blooming. It’s springtime! You look around your home and decide you want to bring a little bit of spring inside. There are five things you can do that won’t cost a lot of money to add a bit of spring to your décor.

Add a Burst of Color

You’ve heard the term give a room a pop of color. Well, for spring you want a burst of color and that can be quickly done with a little bit of paint. You don’t have to take on a huge makeover for a living room. Use a colorful rug to transform a living room into a fresh look.

Accent Wall

Choose a wall, preferably one with doors and windows or at a wall with the least breaks. If you have a fireplace focal point, paint the wall surrounding it.

Select a color from your room décor. Do you have a rather neutral colored room with earth tones? If so, select an accent color, such a blue, yellow or green. All three colors translate into spring! Wallpaper adds texture and pattern with your color choice(s).

Once you have your accent wall, add splashes of the color throughout the room so it has continuity and depth. Some of the ways to carry your new accent color into the room include:

  • Buy new lampshades or cover existing ones with fabric or ribbon.
  • Add a pair of colored candle holders to an end table, bookcase or coffee table.
  • Use slipcovers to create a completely new look for your living room.
  • Accent colored flower pots with houseplants can be scattered about the room.
  • A pair of throw pillows with the accent color will draw the eye across the room to the chair or couch.
  • Wallart is another way to introduce accent colors.
  • Colored candles are a cheap way to add accent color to a décor.
  • Art objects, vases and figurines can also carry the new color into your room.
  • Add inexpensive colored sheers to your current window treatment.
  • Apothecary jars can be filled with colorful objects

Shine the Lights

Spending more time outside brings opportunities for a patio décor lighting.
