Blooming Colors of Spring
Do you want your home to express that spring is in full bloom? The easiest way to refresh your décor is to bring in accents and colors that reflect the change of season. It’s something you can do at least twice a year, whether you want to start a long-planned decorating project or just change out a few accessories.
Of course, this is the time of year when days get sunnier – and warmer! And the 2010 spring color palette is popping with the energy of the season.
This year’s popular spring colors seem made for Florida homes. They include many shades of pink. Think of the pink sheen of a conch shell, the pinkish red in a summer sunset, or the dark pink of a prize hibiscus. These are nature’s colors when it’s bright and happy.
Another great color this spring is apple green. I’m also loving stylish new color pairings, such as aqua and peacock blues paired with raspberry reds.
Here are some ways to add spring freshness to your home:
- For a big seasonal change, go ahead and paint the walls! Paint is an inexpensive way to transform your living space.
- For a splash or two of spring decorating, go for changes of accessories like pillows, ceramics, and area rugs.
- Look for pillows in bright spring shades and toss them on your sofa. Change heavy area rugs – if you have a place to store them for a few months – for an edged sisal or brightly painted canvas rug.
- Dress the bed in a white summer-weight comforter or coverlet for a cool fresh look; brighten with accent pillows.
