Spring has most certainly sprung for us nice and early this year! And, while we know your spring cleaning may not quite be underway, maybe some of these decorating ideas will give you a nudge in the right direction.
There are many ways to brighten your home for the changing seasons, and if there is ever a time to add pops of color, this is it! A big spring trend in home decorating this year is color. A lot of our color inspiration comes straight from Pinterest, where we can find enough color palettes to suite anyone’s taste. A Design Seeds favorite of ours is the “fruit star” palette, a perfect match of deep blues and vivid, bright greens that could work as a color pop on anything from a throw pillow to new drapes or even place settings! We also love seeing energetic orange, yellow or pink hues throughout the home as accent colors this spring. And remember, neon is making a comeback; don’t be afraid to try something new this spring – the season is all about change!
Aside from adding color, you can accessorize your home for the season. HGTV suggests trying playful wall decals, whimsy place settings for get-togethers, and floral patterns in items like area rugs or drapes. Even a simple swap to new lampshades or shower curtains can do the trick! They also suggest bringing some nature into the house. Having a simple bouquet of flowers for the table or keeping your fruits and salad greens on display in the kitchen will bring you a constant reminder that spring is here…and it can be beautiful!
Don’t forget about the outside of your NJ home, either. Even though we had a mild winter in Jersey, many gardens still need some TLC before the warm summer months hit us. For those of you with long-standing gardens, and a green thumb, make sure you test your soil to make sure your plants will get what they need throughout the season, clean your garden area and make sure you water! If you don’t have the best luck with perennials or you just enjoy having a new landscape each year, head to the market for some colorful annuals to brighten the yard and make your home more inviting.
It’s all about color, change and making an inviting and invigorating space for yourself and your guests this spring! Let us know what your favorite decorating ideas are and feel free to send us your photos!
