Spring forward with these fresh design ideas!

Spring is already here so now is the perfect time to bring the outdoors in! Simple solutions can make your home much more light, airy, and pleasant to be in. Transform the look and feel of your home with these ideas as the seasons turn.

Take down any drapery or curtains that block light from windows – whilst these are cozy during winter months they block out needed sunlight in the spring and summer. Instead, put up a simple sheer light material curtains over openings to maintain the spring feel. Invest in a mirror(s) where it will capture more light and help transform a room.   Mirrors are great for adding light to a room as any light is reflected off the mirror around the room.

Bring the outside in – literally. Place cut fresh flowers in vases in one or two rooms, these will look and smell great. If you want something more long term purchase quality silk leaved plants and place these in corners of a room. You can also buy colorful table centerpieces to bring floral freshness to your eating spaces.

 Also, instantly add character to a room by creating a feature wall. You can do this by painting a wall a stand out colour or pattern. Add a table lamp on an accent table next to the wall to really light it up in the evening. Add photos or paintings for guests to look at – this is a great talking point should you throw a Spring party for numerous guests!
