Spring is in the air! With plenty of plants, furnishings, and aesthetics, decorating your space is as easy as getting a Colorado sunburn. To brighten your apartment without spending a fortune, consider the following:
Flourish with Flowers
Flowers are among the simplest ways to bring a touch of nature into your surroundings. While seasonal blooms thrive in April and May, you may experience the greatest success with zinnias, tulips, snowdrops, geraniums, marigolds, pansies, and snapdragons. On warm days, open your windows to welcome the season's scents, such as blooming flowers, freshly cut grass, and rain-soaked earth.
Lighten Up Your Bedding
It’s time to put your electric blanket in the back of the closet to help it settle in for a long summer nap. Spring is the perfect season to swap your heavy, dark-colored bedding for something light and bright. White hues symbolize renewal, making them a great choice. Pastels are a better option if you have muddy-pawed dogs that think your bed belongs to them.
Bring Out the Bright-Colored Books
As the weather warms up, indoor activities like reading tend to fade into the background, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your literary works work for you! Redecorating your bookshelf with playfully colored books (think reds, oranges, and yellows) is an excellent way to brighten your home’s aesthetics and boost your mood.
Display Your Hats
A hat display near your front door is a fun and practical addition to an entryway. Keeping your hats within reach, in a spot you see each time you go outside, is the most effective way to remind yourself not to leave without fashionable protection. While SPF is important, wearing a hat can protect against sunburn, minimize skin cancer risks, and slow the signs of aging.
Throw Out Your Throw Pillows
Don’t throw out your throw pillows; that would be wasteful. Instead, place them in a box. While pillows enhance the cozy aesthetics during the cold winter, this hominess isn’t necessary come spring. In other words, store items such as throw pillows, blankets, and random argyle sweaters until they are needed again in October.
Brightening your apartment might be easier than you realize. With simple tips, you can embrace spring with open arms and windows.
