Room Concepts

Spring has sprung and this season offers the perfect opportunity for you to freshen up your living space. 

If you’ve been thinking about giving your home some extra TLC, check out our three helpful spring decorating tips to get you started. 

Add fresh flowers to brighten up your space

There’s no denying that fresh flowers have the power to brighten up any space in your house! Spring is the perfect season to breathe new life into the various rooms in your house with fresh flower displays. If you want to think outside of the vase, consider these flower display ideas:

• Use a tea cup: This is the perfect chance for you to use that fine china that’s collecting dust in storage! If you have flowers with shorter stems, don’t get rid of them. Simply display them in a tea cup and keep the stems tied together with a rubber band so that they don’t spread. 
• Dress up the vase: If you have a clear vase and want to dress it up a bit, consider wrapping twine or colorful ribbon to add a little pizazz. In fact the colorful ribbon can be swapped out to match the season and the flowers that you’ve picked. 

Flower arrangements are perfect for the dining room table, coffee table, mantle or even a windowsill. The bright pops of color combined with the natural light streaming into your house is a match made in interior-design heaven!

Swap out your lamp shades

You might not have thought about it before, but swapping out your lamp shades is a small tweak that makes a big difference. Since it’s spring time, you’ll want to swap out your current lamp shades and exchange them for lamp shades in lighter colors. You could even go the extra mile and add some customization by adding colorful fabric that matches or accents the rest of the decor in your room. 

Update your tablescape

Springtime calls for light and airy colors, fresh blooms, and the occasional pop of color. All of these components make for the perfect spring-inspired tablescape. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Colorful placemats: Adding colorful placemats to your tablescape offers that subtle pop of color that accents the rest of your embellishments. Don’t just limit yourself to one color, consider placemats with geometric designs for an added layer of creativity. 
• White dishes: To offset the rest of your tablescape design use white dishes. The simplicity of the dishware will help pull the entire tablescape together. 
• Fresh flowers: We’ve already mentioned it once in this blog, but fresh flowers can brighten up any room or tablescape for that matter! To showcase your flower arrangements, consider using vases of varying heights to add depth to your tablescape. TIP: The tallest vase/flower arrangement that you have should be placed in the center as your focal point. From there, you can build around it with other vases of varying heights.
