After we muddled through what was a particularly bleak winter
in some regions, finally being able to greet spring is a genuine pleasure. Here
are 6 ways for welcoming spring into your home.
1. Enjoy blooming bulbs: Welcome
spring by filling rooms with fresh flowers. Whether it's bouquets of freshly
cut wild flowers or pretty potted plants, nothing says spring quite like the
addition of beautiful blooms.
2. Organise a Tea-party: A fun, casual tea
party is the perfect way to welcome the new season. After months of cold
weather that has kept you confined to the house, it’s time for a light snack
and catch-up with close friends.
3. Give your living space a quick colour
makeover. Leave the warmer, deeper hues of winter
behind and embrace a light, spring-inspired palette. Remove heavy window
coverings in favour of matchstick blinds or lightweight curtains. Paint the
walls (or just one wall) pale aqua, spring green or crisp white and invest in a
few new accessories in the same colour family.
4. Let the fresh air in. After we’ve spent a winter hunkered down indoors with
the heater on, the air inside our homes can get stale. On a nice early-spring
morning, open up all of the windows in your house and let the fresh air flow
in.
5. Pick up some spring branches. Spring blossoms are elegant and can be long lasting — up
to a month. Treat your home to an armful. A tall, cylindrical glass
container is a good bet for displaying your branches. If you want to use really
tall branches, invest in an extra-large glass vessel that can sit on the floor.
6. Tune in
the Turquoise: Turquoise is one of this season's
coolest colours. A pretty accessory in this vibrant shade is guaranteed to add
personality and panache to your home decor. The terrific turquoise finds will
let you easily incorporate this cheery colour into your home decor.
