SPRING TREND IDEAS

Spring is finally here and after a long cold winter we all need ways to brighten up our homes. When I think of spring, I think of fresh spring colors, bright sunshine, flowers and trees in bloom and birds chirping in the trees. Once the spring fever hits and we’ve all done our spring cleaning, there are many ways to bring the new season into our homes. If you’re looking for a big change, try painting a room in a great green or yellow spring hue like SW6693 Lily, SW 6708 Springtime, or BM 764 Crystal Springs.

Accessories are always a great way to bring color and the current season into a home, check out the local retailers for new accent pillows, a colorful vase, some new table linens or even a colorful candle.

The easiest way to freshen up your home is to bring in fresh cut flowers. Both the added aroma and color will brighten any empty table or corner and gives that particular space a warm and welcoming feel. Some great spring flowers to add would be daffodils, daisies or tulips. Pairing the tulips with a modern square vase will give you a unique twist on a classic flower.
