“Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'” - Robin
Williams
Spring has sprung! Today is the first day of spring and here at Kensington Furniture, we
have been preparing for some time now. Spring is the perfect season to give your
home a fresh, new look. Add elaborate color, energetic patterns and living accents
to your home to transition it into spring. Your home needs a good spring
cleaning. Why not redecorate while you are at it? The weather is warmer, there
is more sunlight during the day because of daylight savings time and you are
more energized because of the smell of blooming flowers.
Let us help you with your spring decorating. For some
inspiration, let’s take a look at 8 spring decorating tips!
1. Add spring color to your space. Decorating with spring
colors such as pastels and bright colors will bring out a spring mood in
everyone that enters your home and sees your design. The natural sunlight will
reflect off of these items and the room itself will be brighter.
2. Bring out the color in your furniture. What is the easiest
way to do this? Add accent pillows and throw blankets to your sofa. Add
colorful accent pieces to your dining room table. Hang colorful picture frames
and other accents on your walls.

3. Give something old a makeover. Find an old piece of
furniture that you are tired off and give it a new look. Paint an old desk or
spray paint an old chandelier. Invite your friends over and have a craft day.
You can find some pretty old but unique items at yard or estate sales. These
items would be the perfect craft project for an April showers afternoon.
4. Add a modern piece to your spring design. Mix it up a
little. Once you’re done adding color and different designs to your space, add
something modern. A metal or glass table can do the trick. This will make the
room look less formal and more inviting to your guests. Sometimes a perfectly
decorated room can scare off your friends and they might not want to relax in that
room because it is too tidy. Make sure your room is inviting.
5. Use something real. Using a natural and living piece to
decorate with is an excellent spring idea. Fresh flowers and potted plants
bring oxygen and excitement to a room. Do you want to teach your children a
thing or two about responsibility? Have them water your plant or change the
water in your vase as one of their weekly chores.
6. Hang colorful mirrors. Colorful mirrors not only act as a
place for you to check your makeup or your hair, but they also act as wall décor. Don’t
limit your wall décor to picture frames and shelves. Get creative. Add a few
abstract pieces to surprise your guests.
7. Add some patterned pillows. If your sofa is a neutral
color but you still want to bring out the spring in your design, adding a few
patterned pillows will brighten up your living room. Brightly colored and
elaborate patterned pillows are popular year round.
8. Don’t forget about the Pantone color of the year. Include
some radiant orchid colors in your design. The color looks great with other
bright colors or in a neutral colored room. After all, radiant orchid is the Pantone
color of the year!
