Embrace the Joy of Spring: Restore your Home Using out 6 Design Tips

With the arrival of spring, it's the perfect time to think about refreshing your home and bringing a new energy to your living space. Here are 6 things you can do to liven up your home for the new season:

1. Illuminate your Space

Ambient lighting is a key element in creating a soft, warm glow in your home throughout the seasons. For a spring refresh, consider swapping out your lampshades with energizing hues of celadon, minty fresh greens or warm shades of buttery yellow. Soften your room with the textural and relaxed element of hand-wrapped rattan lampshades or chandeliers.

2. Freshen Up Your Walls

A fresh coat of paint is an easy and affordable way to transform any room. Muted shades of well balanced greens evoke calmness and bring the joy of spring indoors. Adding a friendly color like creamy yellow to your mudroom walls or front door is sure to make a fresh statement and welcome in your family and friends.

3. Add Color with Seasonal Fabrics

Adding seasonal fabrics in relaxed linens or patchworks, can be a simple way to awaken your space and create a fresh new look. Choose pillows with floral patterns or soft ticking stripes, and drapes in muted shades of robin’s egg blues and grass greens to create a playful spring atmosphere. When in doubt, look outside for inspiration, and choose a hue or two to create a fresh seasonal palette.

4. Invest in Quality Silk Plants and Flowers

Bringing the beauty of nature indoors is a great way to brighten up your kitchen counter, bedside table or mantle. Say it faux plants, preserved stems and silk flowers! They’re easy to care for and always look fresh, adding a touch of greenery and life to any room all season long.

5. Swap Out Your Linens

Spring is the perfect time to switch out your heavy winter linens for lighter, brighter options. Choose bedding and towels in well dressed colors such as summer whites, cream, or pale blue. This will give your home an energetic and inviting new look that's perfect for spring.

6. Accent with Brighter Spring Colors

Finally, add some finishing touches, your personal touch, to the home as a gentle reminder of the freshness of spring. In small doses, incorporate accent pieces, decorative vases or artwork in bolder pops of color like chartreuse or lemon yellow to embrace the season.

A spring refresh is a great way to welcome the new season and replenish your home with the richness of colors found from nature. I hope you find our design tips helpful. For more inspiration, check out our new “Spring Refresh” Collection and discover what’s new.
