Fun Ways to Decorate Your House for Spring

After enduring a long, dark winter, most people will want to brighten up their home to welcome in spring.  With a few simple changes, you can freshen up every room in your home and decorate for the new year. 

The first things that come to mind as spring approaches are flowers.  After seeing snow-covered ground for months, flowers are a great symbol of the change in season and a great way to decorate your home.  By using flowers and greenery placed in strategic places around your home, you can make your house ready for spring without spending a lot.  You can place flowers in vases throughout your home to add a touch of spring to any room, and create floral bouquets with plastic or dried flowers to hang on your front door to welcome visitors.

A great tips is to plant sweet-smelling flower bulbs such as hyacinths on a sunny windowsill.  These bulbs are inexpensive, and can be bought from any garden center for a few dollars.  When they bloom after a few weeks, the scent will be heavenly.

Changing the fabrics in your home is an easy and inexpensive way of freshening up for spring.  A bedspread, tablecloth, or even curtains, can quickly be changed to transform the entire room.  Choose light colors such as yellow, pale blue and rose petal pink to add a touch of spring to your bedroom.  In the bathroom, swap out the towels and hang a new shower curtain with a floral design.  Add a small vase of flowers to your bathroom counter, or buy a scented oil diffuser to create an instant mood-lift.

Spring-cleaning is another great way to brighten up the home for spring.  A deep clean throughout your home will open up more space in your house.  It’s a good excuse to do the cleaning you may have been putting off for months, and it’s an ideal way of adding a touch of freshness to every room in your home.
