The Easiest Ways to Get Your House Ready for Spring

      Today, March  the 20th, Dairy Queen offers freebies, Sesame Street, The Muppets introduced a new character but more importantly it's the first day of spring ! So break out of your winter rut and update your house for sunnier days.
      We asked designers how they refresh their homes for spring — here are their quickest and best ideas.

 

 

Update Your Pillows

"While fabrics such as velvet, silk, and even tweed are beautiful year-round, they can feel a bit heavy for the spring and summer months. It's easy to give your home frequent updates by having a "pillow wardrobe" for various seasons, just like you do for your clothing. Spring is a great time of year to bring in pillows in breezy fabrics like linen or printed cotton to lighten things up a bit."

 

Refresh Your Bedding

"Welcome spring and treat yourself! Pick up a new duvet
and shams to brighten up your bedroom. This easy fix not only brings color to your room but can help motivate you to make your bed each and every day!"

Use Foliage

"I like to freshen things up when springtime rolls around with big statement leaves in fun vases. From banana leaves and philodendron leaves, to palms and papyrus, it's an easy and low-maintenance way to add a freshness to a room without any fuss. And if you regularly refresh the water and trim the bottom of the stem, the leaves can live on for months." 

 

Rearrange Furniture

"Rearrange the floor plan of your living room — it's the ultimate no-cost decorating tip. Moving around your furniture will be a super quick update for the new season and will have you feeling brand new."

Add Some Color

"Colorful accessories are always an easy update for spring. Affordable vases, interesting objects, and colorful books brighten any coffee table or entry console in minutes. Bold agate accents, gold-leaf pieces, and fashion books are my favorites when accessorizing my own home."
