For the spring season, sprucing up that living room or bedroom is best in this season because you can get the most color inspiration from right outside your window. Nature's gifts tend to become more evident with flowers blooming, trees growing and the warm sun allowing us to partake in its radiance. Of this you can find a quasi endless supply of colors for use in home revitalization.
Changing your Furniture
Swap your dark furniture pieces for lighter, brighter pieces such as a spring-colored wicker replacement. When filled with garden-inspired pieces, rooms tend to come alive as they are filled with similar colors seen right out your front door. Given that flowers are the official representative of springtime, don't be afraid to invest in floral furniture pieces. This will add a new dynamic to that room, and create a focal point for guests. If you do not want to completely replace your dark furniture pieces yet still want to add bright colors to the room, slipcovers and fabric tableskirts are a great way to compensate. It's a good idea to visit your local furniture store, as they will have ideas readily available for both your space and budget.
