Spring is here! Spring has come and it is time to celebrate, so take down those dreary colours and hang up bright and refreshing home décor accents to welcome this blissful season. After a long winter of looking at the cold snow and the dull outdoors, people tend to get excited about spring arriving. Here are some simple, in-expensive and fun ways to welcome spring into your home.

1.      1. A fun and beautiful way to welcome the arrival of spring into your décor is by adding flowers. Flowers represent the whole meaning of spring. It is the time of year when the outdoors begins to bloom. Flowers create a fresh and colourful look within a space and they bring a refreshing smell along with them. Whether the flowers are bright yellow or a calm white, any bouquet will brighten the room and create a spring like environment. Flowers can be placed in vases as a centrepiece for a kitchen table or a coffee table; they could be placed in baskets hung on doors or even simply on the windowsill in the kitchen where the sun will shine on them.

When you think of spring, typically, people will think of bright, happy, lively colours. A cute way to incorporate some fresh colours into your home without it being over whelming is by adding accent pillows or throws. Accent pillows are easy to find and they are easy to change out with every season.

You could use colourful vases with solids or patterns to carry some colour throughout your home and to create a little point of interest. Vases come in all different sizes and all different shapes; you can find interesting vases all over the place. You could even get a little creative with them and try finding something different to use a as a vase such as a teapot or a garden pail. Other fun and creative ways are to use mason jars or even old light bulbs! This will add some interesting and fun looks too your home. Vases can be quirky and “out there” without it being unusual or distracting.  It’s what they’re for! 

      

     4. Another very simple way to welcome spring into your home is just by simply opening the drapes. Let in the light and your whole house will feel more bright, more alive, and more refreshing. Having lighter looking window treatments will make a whole room look airy and bright. These window treatments could include whites, pastels, a light pattern or even sheer drapes. Although, there is no need to go out and buy all new window treatments, simply opening up the ones you have now during the day will do the trick!

 

Now that spring has arrived, it is time to celebrate with lively colours and blooming flowers! Let your home décor pop with excitement and leave those dreary winter days behind.
