Spring is in the air and that means one thing - warmer, longer days are around the corner, make your home interior feel bright and airy with our easy spring decorating ideas.
1. Change the Energy:
Often when we have lived in a home for a while we get used to the layout and never think about changing it around, this is a mistake, the quickest way to breathe new life into a room is by re-arranging the furniture, a super easy inexpensive spring decoration idea.
This will change up the energy in the room and we also use our home differently in the colder months compared to warmer months where we spend more time outside, so think about how you will use the space and what changes you can implement to make the space feel more fluid, this could be simply to re-arrange the layout to make it easier to access the garden.
2. Change up your Soft Furnishings:
The easiest and quickest way to make your home feel brighter for spring is by letting more light into your space, often in the colder months we use heavy fabrics such as velvet, wool and viscose in items such as curtains, throws and cushions covers.
Swap these for lighter materials like cotton and linen, which allow more light through when used as a curtain fabric, light fabrics still bring texture to your interior, making it feel cosy without feeling heavy or too warm, many home interiors brands have reversible cushions that are bright on one side and more subdued on the other, so you can turn them round to suit the seasons and your mood.
Consider using curtain tiebacks for an easy spring decorating idea, to allow light to flood your space, there many different styles available on the market such as roped, beads or even the magnetic curtain tiebacks can work well.
If you’ve had your curtains a long time, this could be the moment to replace them with a bright, modern design, it's also worth having your windows cleaned - you’ll be amazed at how much brighter your interior feels after this simple step.
3. Add Colour:
If you want to do something a bit more drastic to your interior, then why don't you consider painting the room a pastel colour, colours such as pale yellow, light blue, cotton candy pink or a minty green are all fresh spring colour tones that will add a soft but impactful colour to your space.
For those of you who don't want to get the paint brush out, you can easily introduce colour into your existing interior by adding colourful spring home decor such as coloured glass candle holders or coloured glass vases that if you pop them on your windowsill will bounce colourful light around the room.
For a budget spring decorating idea, why not fill vases with pretty bunches of spring flowers, and they’ll look good even when it’s raining outside.
4. Make your Home Smell Like Spring:
Spring is associated with floral scents, citrus and fresh linen, invest in some new scented candles or fragrance diffusers, and open your windows whenever you possibly can, nothing freshens a room like real fresh air!
If you have carpet, have the carpet professionally cleaned as carpet tends to hold onto dirt and if left, can develop a smell over time, or do it yourself with carpet cleaner, but be warned this can be quite labour intensive.
