Spring is almost upon us! As the sun begins to shine and the flowers start to bloom, a refreshing feeling comes upon us. The long and cold winter has finally come to an end,  which means it is finally time to freshen up your homes with the essence of springtime. As the new spring energy comes upon us the urge to spruce up our homes increases. While matching interior design to the new season can be exciting and fun, many struggle with figuring out where to begin or what exactly to switch to Luckily, this blog is here to help with just that! Here are some helpful tips to jumpstart your interior spring refresh. 

Drapes

                With the winter coming to an end, it is time to change from the heavy, cozy drapery to a lightweight set of curtains. This allows the light to shine through the home and match the sunny nature of spring. There are many variations of spring window treatments that would help accomplish these goals. An idea for this transition is pastel or bright-colored drapes that match the seasonal colors. Consider including tape trims on the drapes if you want a more stylish look. This will create a fresher ambiance throughout the room and allow the sun to shine beautifully. Additionally, sheer curtains would be a viable option as well. They’re lightweight and slightly see-through, allowing nature to radiate through the window all day. 

Shades

                 Most would agree that window treatments are not truly complete without a combination of curtains or drapes and shades. Shades provide an additional level of control over lighting within a home while also helping to control the temperature, reduce energy bills, and add style to the room. Popular options for spring shades are honeycomb shades and roller shades. Honeycomb shades are energy-efficient shades that are designed in a geometric fold pattern and can consist of single or double folds. A bright, neutral, or white-colored set of these would provide a stylish choice that saves money and filters light well. Roller shades also should be considered due to their simple roll-up design with creative and bright fabrics revealing when the shade is exposed. Most roller and honeycomb shades tend to be solid, although light filtering or sheen shades allow light to come through, enhancing the room with the ambiance of spring.

Fabrics

                  If you're looking to freshen up your bedroom or living room with new styles and designs, try some different fabrics. Upholstering different elements of your home such as pillows, old furniture, or headboards with bright, large-scale patterns and newer fabric can change the atmosphere of any room. This is a good option for people who own fabrics and would like to put them into use. 

                   As the spring continues to grow near, consider some of the tips suggested in this blog to refresh your home. While these tips should be helpful, it is important to realize that each homeowner has a different vision for their interior design and may require more options to choose from.

Most will provide free consultation which is helpful to organize ideas and use the designer's expertise to assist you in making spring refresh exactly what you want it to be.
