Spring\u2019s new growth and warm sunshine provide inspiration for renewal in our lives. It\u2019s a time to pack away the sweaters and boots for lighter layers and brimmed hats. Homeowners should embrace this same mindset \u2013 one where you pack away the heavy textures and colors of winter in favor of breezy fabrics and fun decor that inspire a fresh feeling in your house.<\/p>\n

Break out of the winter gloom by making some simple changes to your home with bright, fresh decor. Here are the top trends in interior decorating that capture the optimistic feeling of springtime, without having to spend a lot of time or money.<\/p>\n

1. Color your world happy<\/p>\n

To uplift your mood and give your home a new personality, color should be the first thing you address. Paint is an easy and affordable way to dramatically change a living space. Spring\u2019s hot color palette includes rich hues of blue and turquoise, vibrant pink and orange tones, and soft greens and neutrals. Visit your local Lowe\u2019s for inspiration from the paint color studio that allows do-it-yourselfers to identify the \u201chot\u201d paint
\ncolors of the season and even pick up samples of each hue to try at home.<\/p>\n

Feeling adventurous? Dabble in some vibrant shades inspired by the flora and fauna in your region. Love the bright red of blooming tulips? How about the rich blue of the sky at the noon hour? Try picking one thing and paint it that bold color \u2013 a single wall, a door, or even a piece of furniture. Watch as the entire room suddenly comes to life.<\/p>\n

2. Mix in light and fresh decor<\/p>\n

Making small changes to your home\u2019s decor is a great way to refresh the interior, and you don\u2019t have to spend a ton of money. Window treatments are a great place to start \u2013 replace dense fabrics with airy options that beg to blow in the warm breeze.<\/p>\n

Next, store away existing rugs and replace with ones that feature bright colors or botanical designs. Dark accent pillows can be replaced with fluffy, colorful options that add life to dated couches and chairs. Seasonal decor changes are simple and can be swapped out year after year.<\/p>\n

3. Bring the feeling of \u201cgreen\u201d indoors<\/p>\n

The buds and blooms of spring are a big reason it\u2019s such an inspirational season, and houseplants are a great tool for awakening that sense of nature and bringing the outdoors inside. Houseplants make any room look more luxurious, and they are natural air cleaners, awakening the senses of spring\u2019s fresh air. Good, low-maintenance indoor houseplants include the peace lily, spider plant and snake plant.<\/p>\n

Interior decor can also reflect the natural feeling that indoor plants provide. Coordinate pieces that feature nature\u2019s elements, such as a leaf motif on a lamp shade or a beach scene on a piece of wall art. These elements, while subtle, will work together to provide a seamless update to any drab decor.<\/p>\n

4. Cut the clutter\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course any home refresh is not complete without some cleaning. Don\u2019t let spring cleaning overwhelm you \u2013 start small and go through any clutter, sorting into piles to use, store, give away and throw away. A good dusting goes a long way too, so be sure to hit all the surfaces with a damp cloth. Shine up mirrors, which will reflect that beautiful spring sunshine to brighten and enlarge the feeling of the room.<\/p>\n

Changing your home to reflect the seasons is easy with a few basic steps and a little creativity. Remember to embrace the feeling of spring, and the inspiration will come naturally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
