Spring is just around the corner, and one of the most prominent features of the beginning of spring is the sudden appearance of color in the world around us. Grass starts turning green, colorful birds emerge, and flowers begin to bloom. It’s a beautiful time of year and mimicking this idea within our homes is a great way to celebrate the season. In this week’s blog, I will be covering 5 ways to add color to your home to celebrate spring!
Hang Some Artwork
You don’t have to spend a fortune on local art or designer grade pieces. Using colorful photos, art or other wall-hangings is a great way to add color to any space in your home. Not only will you add color, but also texture and depth. Art is a great finishing touch for most rooms that really show that you have put thought and detail into decorating the space.
Add Flowers and Greenery
Whether they’re real or faux, nothing screams “Spring” more than some greenery and plants inside your home! We often forget how much humans need nature and how little of it we really get. The average person spends less than 5 hours outside each week, and that number continues to go down. One thing we can do to give our bodies a bit of the natural environment is bring it inside. Flowers, greenery and other plants all help create a more inviting environment that begins to mimic the great outdoors.
Paint the Front Door
A colorful front door is a great way to wow your guests before they even step foot into your home. A warm entry is the best way to set a good impression for the rest of a guest’s visit. It also draws attention to your home and makes your space stand out from other houses around you. This fun pop of color will ensure that you’re the talk of the town!
Color the Inside of Bookcases
This is a great and affordable way to add color to your space. It requires very little commitment and can easily be un-done if you don’t like a color you choose. It is also a great option for anyone who is renting and isn’t able to alter their walls! Colorful bookcases also allow you to keep the decorations you already have, if they go well with the selected color.
Add Colorful Pillows, Rugs or Decorations
One of the best and easiest ways to add color and interest to a space is through decorating! Decoration can almost always be added to a space, requires little effort and is affordable. Decorating changes the tone of a room more than you know, it is a finishing touch that makes the space feel like home. Another bonus of decorations is that they can be easily switched throughout the seasons. This allows you to keep things fresh and festive all year!
