For March Madness I was thinking that spring was coming, so I wanted to do some changes to my house without spending a lot of money.  As women, we can spend more than intended. Spring is a beautiful season to make some changes in decor to your home. There are wonderful ways to add spring colors to your home, so here are some ideas that you may consider doing:

 

1.  Change your curtains in each room or the main rooms you spend time in to create a spring look. Replace your current curtains with ones that are either plain white, beige, light yellow, light pink, light blue, lavender or with spring blossoms. Take down those dark winter curtains and bring the brightness of spring in.

 

2.   Lighten up your home by painting one or all your walls in pastel colors. Change the paintings on your walls and place paintings of blossoming flowers.

 

3.  If your furniture is dark colored, put slipcovers on the couches and chairs around your house that are lighter colors, pastel colors or have a spring design. This can change the tone of your room for the season.
You can also add decorative colors in lighter tone.

 

4.  Decorate your dining room by replacing your regular tablecloth with bright colors, such as soft pinks, bright yellow, and soft green. Have a table runner with spring designs. Choose placemats that go along with your new tablecloth.

 

5.  For your bathroom, add a light new shower curtain, along with matching decorative towels, rugs, and a toilet seat cover.

 

6.  In the bedrooms you can replace your heavy comforters with light spring color quilts. Coordinate your sheet sets with your bedspread. Add a couple of light colored throw pillows as well.
