After the cold, miserable winter months, many people find themselves wanting to spruce up their homes to bring some positive spring season energy inside. It can be difficult to know where to begin when planning to redecorate. However, professional decorators such as Scott Anson Painters and Decorators Ltd. believe there are a few simple changes that can be made to brighten up a room.
Lighter Fabrics
Putting away the heavy fur or knitted fabrics and replacing them with lighter cottons and linens can go a long way towards brightening up a room. Crisp neutral colours can make a room feel both bigger and brighter.
Pillows and Accessories
When it comes to living spaces, swapping out throw pillows and blankets is a quick and easy way to refresh a room. Adding accessories like new pillows and other pieces in pastel colours can bring a light and airy feeling into a room.
Plants
The winter months are not kind to house plants, and a great way to liven up a room is to replace them in the spring. Succulents are increasingly popular now because they are easy to care for and have dusty spring-like colours.
Floral Patterns
Floral patterns are a great way to bring the feeling of spring inside. Neutral décor can be quickly and easily livened up with the addition of floral-patterned accessories. Adding mirrors and decorative rugs can finish off a room perfectly. If flowers aren’t quite right, leaf print wallpaper, pillows and art can help bring the outdoors in.
Change Wall Art
Swapping wall art is a simple way to change the look and feel of a room. Something as simple as replacing a heavy, framed piece with a lighter wall hanging can instantly refresh tired décor.
Hardware and Lighting
Swapping out old light fittings and door handles for modern alternatives is a great way to revitalise a room. If replacing the light fittings themselves is too costly, consider simply replacing the lampshades. Replacing plain lampshades for brighter options is a quick and easy way to add a splash of colour to a space.
Update Outdoor Spaces
Swapping out outdoor chairs and tables for something new can update a garden ready for the warmer months. Add functional yet fresh pieces like a stainless steel beverage container and a few colourful table and chair sets.
