FOR YOUR HOME

BY JEANNY RODRÍGUEZ

pring and Summer are the perfect time for new beginnings, and it’s the perfect time to give your home a fresh new update. Leave the dreary feeling of winter behind with these easy changes to refresh your house. You can start today and make the changes. It’s easier than you might think. I believe in you! You will see your home be transformed from feeling cozy to a fresh breath of spring. Adding a touch of spring to your decor and design doesn’t have to be a complicated task. Small changes can have a bigger impact on your space than you may think. Here are my five, easy Jeanny-ous ideas for creating the spring home of your dreams.

Bringing fresh flowers and greens into your home is a classic springtime look. This can be as easy as putting a few sprigs of lilac from your garden in a vase or adding a florist’s arrangement to fill a larger space. Don’t overlook adding floral patterns to a room either. This can be done with curtains, rugs, pillows, or wall art. Botanical prints and designs, especially flowers, are a beautiful way to evoke spring. If you’re looking to give extra love to a certain area, incorporate planters in different heights to add a pop of color and texture.

SWITCH TO 2 LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS

Lighter-weight fabrics all around the house will also signal that spring is here and it’s time for a new season. Switch out dark, heavy curtains for lighter weight choices in sheets, linens and gauzy silks. It will literally let more light into your home, and their floaty weight will make the room look breezier. Something as simple as swapping dark, thick kitchen and bathroom towels for ones with a light color and weave will give your house a refreshing new spring look.
