How to decorate your home in spring
To dress the living space with the shades and scents of flowers is just look around and take inspiration from the greenery that surrounds us.
This means embellishing the rooms of the house with pastel-colored fabrics and objects that bring to mind the buds of peonies, gardenias, and roses. As for the scents, which give liveliness to the atmosphere, the aroma of floral bouquets clearly speaks of grassy glades and warm sunny days.
In short, the time has come to give your home and garden a nice general refresh with the 10 tips we have for you.
1. Choose the right colors
Changing the colors of walls, coverings, and furnishings is the best way to make your home and garden more vibrant. An immediate way to give energy to the house after the greyness of winter. And then, the mild climate is ideal for allowing the paint to dry quickly!
Pastel tones and warm colors are the most suitable precisely because they recall spring: yellow, green, blue, pink and lilac are suitable both for the walls to be painted and for the textiles in the dining room and bedroom.
2. Replacing curtains and decorating windows
Spring has something regenerating about it. After months of cold and gray, many feel the need to freshen up their homes and embrace the energy that comes from the new season. Even better if this energy comes from the sunlight that illuminates the rooms of your home: decorating your windows for spring is the best way to enjoy it. If you're thinking about spring window decorations, start by choosing your curtains carefully. If you prefer them in winter, in spring, opt for light and transparent fabrics so that light can enter the home and warm the rooms.
If you have children, have fun cutting out floral decorations to glue to the windows. È It's time to pack up the Christmas decorations and Halloween decorations to give the warm season a proper welcome!
3. Pastel-colored rugs and cushions
Spring decorations for the living room and bedroom don't require a particularly expensive expense. Just be clever and adopt small tricks like adding pillows with floral pillowcases, always in pastel colors.
Alternate patterned fabrics with solid colors and limit clutter by leaving aside sofa blankets, which will soon no longer be needed. Put aside heavy faux fur and knit blankets, replacing them with lighter fabrics like cotton or linen. The combination of whites and pale pinks can be a lovely way to add a pop of color while maintaining a neutral space.
For rugs, light colors require minimal maintenance: vacuum them frequently and, if the material allows it, freshen them in the washing machine every now and then.
4. Plants and flowers like we were in Sanremo
Plants and flowers, along with similar spring window decorations, can be excellent allies in restyling your home. One of the simplest ways to renew any room is to add a bouquet of fresh flowers: one of the simplest and most effective spring decorations. From bunches of daffodils and tulips to sprigs of eucalyptus and hyacinth, decorating with fresh flowers is easy and can be done in any room of the house.
Orchids, African violets, and primroses—which bloom from March onward—are among the most popular. They are ideal as indoor plants. Even the very scenic bonsai, placed in corners or on shelves, can add the touch of color that is missing in the emptiest rooms.
Do you have little time available to take care of the green corners of your home? Succulent plants will save you.
5. Ornaments as Spring Decorations
To beautify your home for the flower season, choose wooden furnishings or the colorful Caltagirone ceramics.
Hand-decorated, they hark back to ancient Sicilian tradition and are among the best-known in Italy. A true piece of history, as well as perfect spring ornaments for your home. Candles can also be an excellent decorative element for your home, especially if colored or scented. Opt for floral or citrus candles to liven up any room in the house. Lavender or rose scented candles are perfect for spring. Or, if you don't like scents, opt for pastel-colored candles. This will add a touch of color to your home. Play with the size and height of the various candles to create dynamism.
6. Play with light
The arrival of the warm season brings with it longer and brighter days. It's worth considering some changes in the choice of artificial lights, such as chandeliers and floor lamps.
LED light strips, for example, are a valid alternative to traditional lighting. Being very versatile, they can be installed on the floors (along the walls) and in the most hidden corners. Darkened rooms, or under kitchen cabinets and living room shelves, create a charming play of color. They can also decorate a bookcase, creating a perfect reading nook for enjoying spring afternoons with a good book. Candles, when lit, can give any room a romantic feel.
7. New season, new furniture
To welcome spring, why not change some furniture or the style of your home? The new Earthy Boho trend, for example, highlights the natural materials and soft shades typical of this time of year.
These elements combined will create essential and contemporary environments, to which you can add some iconic design pieces to make your home unique. Take a look at the new collection from Patricia Urquiola to get an idea of what we mean. If your house is full of photographs, try replacing the ones you have with more colorful ones, or organize a dinner with your friends to take new ones. Even new frames in spring colors can add a touch of color and originality to the house.
8. Arranging the furniture
If you don't have the budget for new furniture, change the arrangement of the furniture you already have in the house.
In the living room, for example, you could use a bookcase as a partition, and create two distinct areas within a single room. The idea is The idea is to create an area dedicated to reading and another area for welcoming friends, with a sofa and TV.
And then you can use it to organize your favorite books and to place plants and flowers, in addition to the furnishing accessories we recommended a few paragraphs ago.
A tip: leave some shelves empty to allow, from both sides, an unobstructed view of the entire room.
9. Perfumes and diffusers
Other elements that lend themselves well to spring decorations for the home are perfumes and diffusers.
Aroma diffusers make the different rooms of the house welcoming throughout the year. Compared to the warmer and spicier winter fragrances, for spring we recommend choosing fresh and citrusy scents, typical of orchards. Diffusers based on essential oils are perfect for scenting your home with natural elements.
Remember that to achieve a pleasant effect, you need to place the air fresheners in both the living room and the bedroom. Avoid them in the kitchen, however: it's always better not to overwhelm the smells of food with different aromas. You could stun your guests and create an olfactory mix that isn't particularly pleasant.
10. Cleaning and order
If, despite all our ideas, you don't know where to start to decorate your home for spring, you can always start by doing a little cleaning. Get rid of old furniture, worn-out sofas, and all those items you've accumulated over time that don't convey any emotion to you.
Don't do it haphazardly, though: use a method. To be precise, we suggest you follow the Marie Kondō method described in the book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”.
In essence, the magical Marie suggests you establish a hierarchical scale of importance for objects with the aim of evaluating their actual usefulness. By holding them in your hand and observing them, you will be able to recognize the ones that still bring you joy and get rid of everything superfluous, without regret.
