Spring Cleaning!

Spring Into the Season – Refresh your home!

Spring is a time when we think of cleaning up our homes as the weather starts to get warmer and thoughts of winter finally come to an end. It’s a time to look around your home to make each room more a reflection of your style and to update or change the decor without completely redecorating, to give your rooms new life. Think about the tone or mood you want to create such as cozy and warm, modern and simple and the style and colors that most inspires you. In some case you can mix modern and traditional styles to create something new.

Colors that are hot this spring include white, olive green and blues.

Now to create a large impact for the least amount of time and cost focus your energy on rooms that are used the most by your family and/or guest such as the kitchen, family room and bathrooms. These rooms are viewed and used at the beginning and end of each day so change will bring a sense of renewal and revitalization and will be significant. By implementing the following simple decorating ideas you can transform your home this spring to make what you have work best, in a new way.

 De-Clutter and Organize!

The first step in this home renewal process is to de-clutter each room in your home. Just as spring-cleaning can add a breath of fresh air, reevaluating the use and function of each item in a room will allow the space to be used and decorated in the best light.

De-cluttering will not only make a room look more spacious and balanced but will produce a sense of order and calmness. Less is more and if you don’t love it live without it. This simple approach will help evaluate what to recycle, reuse or remove and will help to take the guesswork out of future purchases. Only buy new items that work with the décor and that make you feel good everyday.


Accessories are the Key

Just like a new lipstick or new hairstyle, your rooms deserve a new update. Accessories can provide a new element of color, texture and inspiration without much commitment. Add a splash of  color for the season or accentuate an accent color to your existing décor with a few new cushions for your sofa, an area rug, new lampshades, candles, family photos and pictures for the wall, linens for the kitchen and towels and bath products for bathroom.

As a finishing touch, add plants to a few of your rooms, real or artificial including spring bulbs to create a fresh look and smell which can then be planted outdoors. Plants are a great accessory, as they can fill up an empty space or corner and coordinates with everything.

Make your home your dream living space, feel refreshed and proud without spending a fortune. Throw a party to celebrate your accomplishments. Happy spring cleaning and decorating! Like us on facebook
