1. Flowers
Adding flowers in your home during spring time is a
great way of bringing the outdoors in. Flowers can make your home smell amazing
and lift up your mood. A great way to incorporate flowers in your home is to
get a bunch of glass milk bottles and decorate them. You can use a black twine
if you want to add a rustic look to it. You can also use ribbons and bows if
you want a pastel theme. Just wrap them around the bottle anyway you fancy.
Lastly fill them up with water and your favorite flowers. If you have trouble
taking care of flowers then you can put some fake flowers as well. And you’re
done. Now you have a great piece to decorate your mantel or side tables with.

2. Incorporate
bright colors
A good way to change up
your room for the spring time is to change your duvet. You can invest in a
bright colored duvet which will brighten up your whole room. Also if you have a
sofa in your room, then place a colorful blanket on top of it to give your room
a pop of color. Place some floral throw pillows on your bed. You can also
change up accessories around your home and replace them with ones that have a
pop of color. Paint your basic white frames turquoise, coral or yellow color.
These little things make a big difference. They basically give a new life to
your room.

to buy expensive paintings then you can just print out your favorite spring
time photos. You can either frame them or you can get a twine and some
clothespin to make a tumblr inspired photo time line.

If you have plain walls, furniture and curtains then
things like throw pillows, area rugs or photo frames can really brighten up the
room. A bright area rug can give your space a pop of color. There is an amazing
collection of beautiful area rugs online. From overdyed rugs to hand knotted
Persian rugs the choices are endless. This way you won’t have to do a lot of
work to bring in color to your home and just by changing up a few things you’ll

6. Let light make its way to your home
Spring is all about bright lights and colors so in
order to lighten up your space use thin drapes on your windows so that the
sunlight illuminates your home and you save money on electricity bills. But if
your house doesn’t have direct access to sunlight then invest in lamps and
chandeliers if you can.
