Houseplants 

Bring the outdoors inside! Whether it is a real snake plant used to add a more safari feel to the home, or an artificial plant. If your house doesn’t receive much direct sunlight, incorporating a plant within your décor is sure to add a little joy and color into the room. The tropical feel will push a serene and organic ambiance while making the room appear more spacious.

   

Decorative Paintings 

Brighten your walls with art! Instead of completely repainting a whole room, some new pieces of colorful artwork with trending spring colors will be sure to do the trick. Light colored artwork can be placed in any room, even if the room receives a lot of light already, and can generate a reflection that gives a new shade and a cozy look to any room.

From the floor up 

If your house has dark hardwood floors, which most contemporary homes do nowadays, a lot of light from the room is being drawn out. Adding a bright colorful rug as a statement piece helps energize the room and bring a lighter feel in, and makes for a beautiful aesthetic. Don’t be afraid to use patterns! Let your rug help with the decor and vibe of the room. The more abstract, the merrier!

Light Bedspreads 

Of course it is a lot to ask to change all the furniture as the seasons change, but switching bedspreads and comforters is an easy way to meet in the middle. Replacing darker bed spreads with lighter ones is guaranteed to open up the room and get you ready for spring. Use white, light yellow, or baby blue to lift the room and provide some serenity, even if the bed frame has a darker tone.
