Decorating For Spring

What better time to give your rooms a refresh than spring? Air out the rooms, give the windows a good scrub, and then bring in some colors of spring to brighten up your home and your mood with spring decor.

Quick Updates with Colors of Spring

Spring colors tend to brighten a room in much the same way that the world lightens outdoors with the changing light and new growth of spring. An easy way to make quick updates is to incorporate accessories that capitalize on these colors.

The colors of spring include a whole range of refreshing colors that erupt in nature as the season begins. Think of springy daffodil yellows, grassy greens, robin’s egg blue, violet, and a host of springy pastels. Incorporating the Pantone color of the year for 2019, Living Coral, brings a hint of spring as well as a fresh trend to the room.

The easiest decorating ideas for spring are accessories with pops of springy color – pillows, throws, and even curtains – that work with base neutrals.

Spring Table Decorations

For a dining table, easy decorating ideas for spring involve greenery – either fresh stems and greens, or succulents in planters. Bring in spring with pastels, florals, and springy patterns in table runners, napkins, placemats, or table cloths.

For dining table or coffee table bouquets, choose creative and simple vessels that fit your style, whether that’s rustic or modern, industrial or farmhouse chic. Contain your spring blooms in mason jars, berry baskets, pitchers, pretty bottles, or barware. Consider a European tabletop garden like a pretty spring nest with moss and egg décor.

Keep it simple and swap out a few of the items in your coffee table and bookcase décor. Add subtle spring flavor with bicycles, lemons, birds, and terrariums. Update your bookshelves with picture frames and other objects in a springy color palette, while editing out anything that speaks more of winter.

Lighten and Brighten with Lighting

One way to literally brighten your room is by changing your lighting. Dress up your chandelier in spring décor with ribbons or garland and draw attention to your fixture in any light. Add new table lamps or even update bulbs to better illuminate your room by night, or simply swap out a heavier table lamp for a light and airy alternate. A lamp with a shapely glass base visually lightens the room, day or night.

Artwork

Another way to keep your spring décor fresh is by displaying artwork that incorporates spring ideas. Whether sculptural artwork or wall art, swap some items out seasonally. Themes that evoke spring include birds, images from seed packets III, IV, V, VI, springy florals, or even abstract works with springy colors that you can keep year ‘round.

When the brighter days of spring arrive, Mother Nature begins to decorate with buds and blooms. Anticipate the season by bringing seasonal colors and accessories into your own spring décor. Request a Bassett Furniture catalog for more inspiration to refresh your home with the colors of spring!
