Brighten Up Your Home For Spring

The new Spring Season is here!  As we embark on this new time of year, you are all invited to take the initiative and spruce up your home.  It is a great time of year to shift and update your décor.  Don’t just put away those holiday decorations…take this time to change your look! 

Here are some tips to help you brighten your home:

1. In with the NEW, out with the OLD—Spring Cleaning is a great opportunity to get rid of those items and pieces that are not what you are envisioning for your home.  The right accessories can transform an ordinary space into a unique environment that all will envy.  Consider the use of glass décor this season.  Use objects such as bowls, vases, and pots to create an open environment with a touch of sophisticated color. 
2. Brighten your day—the spring season greets us with color!  Utilize light and airy colors to help you create a sense of fresh, open, and inviting space.  This will not only make your home appear larger, it will make you feel like you have jumped into the new year with a kick.  You can do so by simply replacing your sofa pillows, or perhaps changing your bedding to something with pattern, color, and style.
3. So soft you can dream—allow yourself to dream of the cool spring nights that are upon us.  Consider replacing your winter blankets with light and fluffy throws.  Toss them across the back of the sofa or the foot of the bed, sit back and watch as the color, texture, and pattern enhance your space. 
4. Revitalize yourself—have you ever looked at a wall and thought there should be more?  Allow yourself to visualize the new color trends, and spruce up your home with paint.  Paint is an easy an inexpensive way to change the look of your entire space.  And if you don’t like the outcome, don’t worry…you can paint right over it!
5. Reflect on the possibilities—have you considered the image that mirror hanging in your living or dining room is reflecting?  A mirror is an easy and effective decorating tool, but many do not think of the image that is looking back at them.  Take the time to exploit the natural elements that surround us to your advantage.  It will make your space feel open and enhance the amount of natural light that cascades into your home.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall...

A mirror is an easy and effective decorating tool. But do you ever think about what the mirror will reflect?
 
If you're like most people, you want the image to reflect something attractive - perhaps a window with a mountain view, or a beautiful piece of art. 

So, the next time you're considering placement of a mirror, make sure you're aware of the image that will be looking back at you. And as always, remember that the designers at California Design Center are here to help you!
