Update Your Decor For Spring

Call on a garden for inspiration in your room. Whether it's your own garden or someone else's you can rev up your room with pretty floral prints, sheer breezy fabrics and actual plants used to add some accents around your room.

During the winter months, you may put up heavy draperies and use a heavy throw on your sofa, as warmer weather approaches, it's time to switch our your window treatments and pack away the winter accoutrements. Replace your curtains with lightly colored fabrics with even lighter colored sheers. You'll find that your room immediately has a more uplifting and alive feel. Replace that heavy throw with lightly colored pillows to accent your sofa.

Roll up your heavy area rug or have it cleaned and repaired if necessary for fall and winter use; and go with a natural fiber such as bamboo or sisal. Use lightly colored natural woods or fibers for your rugs and for light fabrics you may have to add a couple of strips of non-skid on the bottom to keep them from slipping.

If you have made your fireplace a central point in your home during the colder months, move around your room so that a window or even an impact piece is the focal point of the room. It's easy to do just pick one object in the room and build outwards from that point.

Last, add a few living plants around your room. A billowing fern or a grand ivy will add a beautiful touch of greenery to your room. Additionally, a hibiscus will bloom for months and when it is not blooming it will be a lovely shade of green.

Use these tips and get your room in the mood for the spring. It's easy to do and you'll have a lively room that you can enjoy all spring and summer.
