Bring Your Home Alive For Spring!

Here’s a few quick, easy and fun ways to make your home ready for spring with bright and cheery touches to lighten up the atmosphere.

Flowers: Nothing says spring quite like fresh flowers. Visit your local farmers market for huge, gorgeous bouquets to make a colorful table centerpiece. Try adding some other floral touches to your family room furniture using floral accent pillows or a floral quilt over the sofa.

Let the light in: Instead of insulating your home with closed windows and heavy drapes, let in some fresh air and put up some sheer curtains instead. Mirrors and mirrored furniture also lighten up your home with the reflection of natural light. One good choice from Hooker Furniture is the Sanctuary landscape mirror. Another is the mirrored sink chest.

Towels: A quick, easy way to add some color to bathrooms and kitchens is to change out your everyday hand towels for some bold spring colors. Small changes such as these can help to bring new life into the room and make it feel new again.

Garden décor: Bring the outdoors in by decorating with a few birdhouses and small terra cotta pots filled with plants, or use spring branches, pebbles, shells, fresh fruits, or spring flowers to create uplifting vignettes. Use containers made of natural materials such as wicker or those with light spring colors. Outside, near your windows, place birdfeeders to invite some cheerful songbirds to stop by for a visit.

Accent pieces: Maybe your home could use a fun accent piece to contribute a little spring year-round. Check out this whimsical flowered chest from the Envision lifestyle collections by Hooker Furniture — it’s not only completely practical and versatile, but its’ whimsical floral pattern will brighten up any room.

Switch it up: Move around the furniture in your living room or dining room to give your home a fresh new look. Along with some of the other ideas above, your home will have a new life of its own this spring!
