Decorating for spring isn’t quite as festive as pulling out the holiday lights, but giving your apartment some TLC can help you revive your home and ready yourself for open blinds and sunshine. To take advantage of some simple decor, consider the following trends:  

Freshen Up with Fresh Flowers

Adding flowers to your patio or kitchen can not only enhance your decor, but enhance your health and well-being, as well. Flowers help increase happiness by triggering certain chemicals in the brain. These include dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, a hormone that creates warm feelings of trust and bonding. 

Embrace Bright Colors

While winter is peppered with colors like red, green, and gold, spring is more aligned with bright hues and pastels. Swapping out dark-toned pillows, comforters, blankets, towels, and dish rags with light colors can revitalize your apartment and elevate your mood. Tones of orange and yellow, in particular, elicit feelings of hope, joy, and invigoration. 

Amp Up the Kitchen

There’s no need to upend your kitchen to give it a facelift; swapping out old bowls, canisters, cookie jars, and small appliances with sleeker designs can cook up aesthetics and make your kitchen feel like a brand-new room. This also gives you a reason to organize your cabinets and rid them of unwanted items.  

Give the Bathroom a Go

Bathrooms are easy to ignore, as no one typically wants to spend more time in one than necessary. But redecorating your bathroom can help turn it into an oasis of relaxation. This doesn’t require any deep-dive into DIY. Things like replacing towels, toothbrush holders, and soap containers can go a long way, as can adding an essential oils diffuser and a wine glass caddy for your tub.    

Be Bold 

Bold artwork technically works any time of year, but there is something about spring, the season of new possibilities, that makes bold even better. Bright, daring prints in well-traveled places, such as your living or dining room, can give your apartment a little oomph and you a little street cred with your artsy friends. 

Dominating spring decor is easier than you might think. Consider these tips to usher in rejuvenation one room at a time.
