Inspiring Ideas

Hope Springs!

Brush off the winter chill and feather your nest for a warm new season with these quick tricks for freshening up decor:
 
• Insert family photographs depicting springtime memories or postcards bearing floral or Easter motifs into picture frames.
• Fill your fireplace with flowering hydrangeas, blossoming rununculus or other lush plants placed in whitewashed terra-cotta pots or white garden urns.
• Replace wall hangings with spring-themed artwork that fits in with your home’s style. Bright florals bring in a formal feel, while rustic bunny prints or pastoral scenes suit a more relaxed farmhouse look.
• Go from drab to fab in the living room by swapping out dark-colored drapes, sofa slipcovers, throw pillows and accent rugs for lighter, brighter versions.
