1.) Flower Power: Bring nature into your Spring Spaces!
You can bring nature into your spaces in a wide variety of ways this Spring, starting with the introduction of plants into your spaces.
Even if you are not very green-fingered, there are some plants which are almost unkillable- although I wouldn’t put it to the test! - which are therefore perfect for spaces which are dark, and often where the plants go uncared for.
Some of the best indoor houseplants to have are: Pothos, Aloe, Spider Plants, English Ivy, Jade Plant, Rubber Tree amongst many others.
These plants are evergreen and will remain leafy and green throughout the year!
These can be used in certain areas of the room which need some accents of greenery- but make sure that you are also catering to the plant’s needs and not just the decoration!

2.) Let there be Light: Add Mirrors into the Spring Room!
Whether you would prefer the mirrors to match, or whether you prefer a quirkier style with a wide variety of different framed mirrors, mirrors can certainly add wonders into your home.
Moving away from the cold and dark of the Winter months, you can quickly add light into your spaces by adding multiple mirrors into the space can reflect the light around the room and create a light, airy and breezy space.
An easy way to do this is to place your mirror opposite the light source in the room- this is most often the window) which will work to reflect any light on the mirrored surface into the rest of the room.

3.) Springtime Sun: Add Spring-themed Art into your Space!
This is one of the easiest ways of updating your spaces for Springtime! By adding small- or even large- pieces of Springtime-themed art into your home, you can add a vitality and liveliness which was perhaps frozen during the cold Winter months!
The best way to choose Springtime-themed artwork is by choosing pieces which have aspects of growth and life in them. Some of these visual images can be of birds, nests, eggs, plants, Springtime flowers, or just flowers in general, sketches of living creatures, lambs and other young animals etc.
The best way to choose your art, is to choose a piece which is not only part of your individual colour scheme which you have chosen, but which you also love!
Even if you fall in love with a piece of artwork which you love, but one which does not necessarily work too well with your colour scheme, that is perfectly okay.
Your chosen artwork can be used as an accent piece of your room and work to develop your colour scheme, rather than hindering it.

4.) Gorgeous Greens: Add pops of Living Spring Green Colours as Accents!
If, like many people, you have a neutral, grey, or other subtle colour scheme, you may use accent colours in order to inject a bit of colour and life into the space!
One of the best ways to utilise this wonderful room colour scheme during Springtime is to incorporate greenery into the space, as well as other colours such as pinks, purples, blues and other pale pastel colours.
One of the quickest and easiest ways of doing this is to add pastel green cushions or throws into your home which will make it very easy to bring in that splash of colour into your space, perfect just in time for Springtime!

5.) Terrific table tops: Creating a table top Springtime Display!
Focusing on either Springtime, or even Easter, table top displays are the perfect way of creating a Springtime theme throughout your home.
Either using natural accessories such as painted eggs, twigs, flowers and other natural accessories, or store-bought ones such as small chicks, plastic flowers and other accessories, you can create a unique and bold Springtime space which will give vitality to your room.
These table top displays can also be quickly changed and moved around depending on the season as well as depending on the event too, so they are very useful if you like changing the look of your home for different occasions!

6.) Fantastic Florals: Wallpapering with a Floral feature wall!
Not only can creating a floral feature wall in your space update it easily and quickly for Springtime, but it can also be a wonderful feature throughout the rest of the year too!
This feature wall can either be a vibrant, outstanding wall which draws the eye, or it can be a subtler, pastel shade.
Whichever floral feature wall you choose, it will most definitely bring a vitality and vibrancy into your space, without having to wallpaper an entire room! Or even without having to look after indoor plants- after all, you don’t have to water wallpaper!

7.) Floral Frames: Create a Floral Wallpaper frame as ready-made Artwork!
If you are unable to decorate your entire room or even your entire wall, you can easily compromise and create a beautifully floral space with wallpaper!
To create a space which still has the bold, colourful and creative look of a gorgeous wallpaper, you can simply make wallpaper frames instead!
As a result of the gorgeous artistry which goes into the design and creation of many of our wallpapers, they can be considered as pieces of art themselves!
So why not treat them as such and pop them in your frames?
You can either have a few matching wallpaper frames, or a few un-matching frames, it’s totally up to you! But what is certain is that they will spruce up your entire space for Springtime!

8.) Springtime Style: Spruce up your Space with Vases!
If you have decided to incorporate floral plants into your home this Springtime, but don’t want the responsibility of keeping them alive, you can use plastic plants, or you can simply buy yourself a bouquet!
Obviously, when you have a bouquet, you will need vases to keep your florals in, which means that you can either purchase a bright and bold accent vase, or you can choose one which will seamlessly blend into your colour scheme.
If you have decided to use an accent vase, it is probably best to choose one which has a similar tone to the other colours in your room.
For example, if you have a neutral coloured home, go for a pastel coloured vase for the vase to perfectly blend in and work well with the rest of the room as well as the florals which it will contain too.
You could even put your plastic florals into the vase too!

9.) Really Good Recycling: Reuse products from the Farmers Market to Create a Rustic Springtime Look!
If you are trying to decorate your home for Springtime but you find yourself on a budget, one of the easiest ways to revamp your space is by using easily found and free items!
If you have a penchant for farmers markets like most of us, one of the best ways to update your space is by asking around and getting yourself some of those wooden pallets which they use to transport their fruit and veg on.
These can be used with flowers, or just as storage to add a beautifully rustic look to your space!
Or they can even be painted in various Springtime colours for a bit of added colour into your space!
The easiest way to do this is to have a quick browse of one of our Other Blog Posts called ‘Woodwork Woes: How to Paint Wood’ for some helpful and handy Tips & Tricks!

10.) Gorgeous Garland: Create a Springtime Garland for your Mantelpiece!
Much like creating a springtime table top like detailed in number five, creating an easily-removed Springtime design can really add a living vitality int your space this Springtime!
This garland can be created from fresh Spring flowers- such as daffodils, bluebells, snowdrops and a wide variety of other Springtime flowers- or it can be made from a bouquet, or even plastic flowers if that makes it easier for you!
Whatever materials you decide to make your garland from, the easiest way to make one is to buy a pre-made garland structure for you to place your flowers into without damaging your mantelpiece!
You could even purchase a water trough which will help keep your springtime flowers nice and lush throughout the time that they are on your mantelpiece! Perfect!

11.) Decorating Displays: Bring out your Gardening Tools as Decorations!
One of the best ways to create a décor dream with a Springtime theme is by simply bringing items into your home which wouldn’t necessarily be used as decoration!
For example, you can bring your gardening tools into the room and display them on your mantelpiece-perhaps alongside your flower garland or anywhere else where you think they would work perfectly!
Make sure you clean them beforehand though!
Again, if you are on a budget, doing this can really help you transform your space in no time without even having to purchase anything new!

12.) Wooden Wonders: Add Wooden planks into your home to add a rustic Springtime vibe!
Again, a simple, effective and free way of adding a springtime vibe into your home is to simple source the materials for any of your creations outdoors!
Simple items like half cut logs and other wooden pieces can be easily made into place mats, cup holders and a wide variety of other decorating pieces which will add that natural edge into your home!
Just make sure that they are fully dried out before you use them as decorations in your home to avoid that ‘wet wood’ smell!
