5 Ways To Lighten Up Your Home Decor

Updated: Feb 2018

Seasonal changes to your home decor can go a long way to making your home feel refreshed without a full blown makeover or buying all new furniture.  (Though if you’d like to do that feel free to give me a call.) Once convinced winter is far behind us, it is nice to give our homes a lighter touch.  Here are a few easy home decor ideas to freshen up a room for the warm weather season.

1. Lighten the load on windows. Swap heavy drapery for lighter weight or sheer fabrics. It’s like and eyelid lift for a room. Light, billowy fabrics are great next to open windows.

2. Roll-up thick dark or heavy rugs and unroll fresh rugs in natural materials. Jute, Seagrass, Sisal and even cotton rugs in zippy colors can provide an instant update and lighter feel to the entire room.

3.  Infuse rooms with fresh colored accessories, these are from Joss & Main. Pull the most vibrant color from your existing color scheme or if you have lots of neutrals inject a new spring color into the mix such as tangerine, lime, turquoise, or any other garden fresh color which delights you.

4.  De-clutter the room and remove visually heavy decor items and dark accessories. We have some great tips to help you minimize your home.

5.  Clear tabletops and leave them open for simple DIY fresh flower arrangements. These tulips in tall glass vases we found over at The Days of the Chic blog are pure perfection, and easy!

Seasonal decor changes are an easy way to get your home decor fix.  It’s like a quickie room makeover.  Notice, I’m posting this on a Friday so you have the whole weekend to work on it!
