Step Into Spring
After months of cold weather, spring is the perfect time to inject some warmth and light into your home to create an atmosphere that’s uplifting and welcoming. Whether your home is big or small, add touches of springtime style throughout your home to brighten up your interior spaces with our tips and tricks!
Entryway Style
Dress up your entryway to welcome spring with some rustic blossom tree branches or an indoor potted plant, as well as some coloured glass vases or accent bowls. Upon arriving home or inviting guests inside the feel of spring will be alive and well as soon as people set foot inside your home, and soften a space that can otherwise feel minimalist and lacking in personality.
Bring the Outdoors Inside
As nature blooms with vivacious colour outside during spring, take inspiration from your garden and surrounding environment to bring some floral features inside your home. Fresh vases of flowers scattered throughout will add bursts of colour to each space, and for a more budget-friendly option you can use artificial flowers that will last the duration of spring. Add touches of greenery wherever you can - a floating shelf dedicated to beautiful, overflowing plants that cascade down will instantly add colour and texture to a blank wall. Alternatively, you can purchase a large planter pot and add a tall indoor plant or tree to the corner of a few different rooms, bringing life to each space.
Add Pops of Colour
Get rid of darker tones that suit winter and include light, bright colours that usher in a joyful vibe. Keep things neutral with soft greys in either warm or cool tones that will serve as the perfect base colour to decorate your room around. The natural light will enhance the colour and make the space feel bigger. Add more colour by choosing a beautiful pastel for your walls such as minty green, fresh lemon, duck egg blue, or even a flash of coral or pink to liven up the space. Accent cushions, a jewel-toned armchair in a rich plum or teal, or even a brightly coloured couch will instantly brighten up your interiors. Add a large piece of artwork with bright abstract hues to a white wall for a shot of colour in an otherwise neutral space. A statement piece of furniture in a bright colour will make the room seem instantly brighter and warmer, so look for lush pink velvets, indigo blues, or pastel colours when you’re furniture shopping.
Get Your Outdoor Areas Sorted
After all the wet and cold weather, the outside of your home will be in need of a good clean! Now’s the perfect time to get the power washer out to clean your weatherboards, bricks or render to get rid of the dirt and grime that’s built up, and grab a bucket and some sponges to make your windows sparkle. Give your alfresco area a good clean to prepare for long, lazy summer barbecues with family and friends. Hose down and scrub any furniture you have to make it look good as new, and even pop the outdoor couch cushion covers in the washing machine to clean them up in preparation for lazy afternoons outside.
