4 Easy Ways to Refresh Your Home for Spring

1. plants make people happy

Since plants and flowers make people happy, why not make them a staple in your home’s decor. It can be as simple as the branch of snowball viburnum cut from a neighbors yard as shown above or a low-maintenance fern. I love a combination of both. House plants are a great way to bring the outdoors in but they also act as a natural air purifier. Here are a few of my favorite house plants.

2. Wicker

Wicker and rattan are synonymous with summer, although it’s a mainstay year-round in many homes. Its warmth and texture are without pretense but at the same time elegant. Every room should have a little wicker, even if it’s simply a magazine rack.

Bonus Tips: There’s nothing like fresh paint to transform a space and you don’t have to stop at the walls. Paint a piece of furniture and you’ll see it take on a new life. Wallpaper is also a great way to add color, pattern, and texture all at once - although it will require a little more effort. And let us not forget about Slipcovers - they can breathe new life into tired sofas and chairs. Whatever choice you make this spring, I hope it makes you feel great! You’re welcome to send me pictures as I’d love to hear how your refresh made you FLOURISH this spring!
