As we swap out winter wardrobes in favor of lighter, brighter options for spring and summer, it’s also time to freshen up your home’s decor. Redesigning your existing spaces by bringing in new seasonal accents and decor will give your furnishings a new look and with so many options readily available online and in stores it’s easy to find pieces that match your personal decorating style.
Rugs and Windows
Swap out rugs and drapes in lighter textures and colors for spring. Natural sisal or jute are a great choice underfoot as are traditional textures in modern geometric patterns including chevron and trellis designs popular this season. Complete a room’s lighter, brighter feel from the floor up with sheer flowing drapes in soft, natural linen on windows.
Repurpose Dated Furniture
Slipcovers are a fun and easy way to experiment with new colors and patterns without investing in a new piece of furniture. Brand name easy fit slipcovers can be found at local home decor stores while more and more online slipcover sources offer custom options. Consider reupohstering a favorite couch or chair. There are wonderful fabrics in all colors, patterns, and textures to update any room.
Accessorize with Pillows
Pillows are one of the easiest most cost effective ways to give a room a whole new look. Mix and match pillows in the season’s top color and pattern trends such as natural dyed ikat designs, medallions or bright spring florals. Arrange pillows in odd numbered groupings, which are more visually appealing.
Let There Be Light

Plain wrought iron lamps with ivory shades can also get a modern makeover with a new shade in one of the seasons top prints and colors.
