Spring is a fantastic time to give your home some love, but a spring refresh doesn’t have to break the bank. Rather, it’s all about making small but impactful changes. A general guideline is to think light and bright in terms of fun colors and lighter textures. Here are a few ideas all under a hundred dollars to make your space shine.
1. Swap or add brightly colored or fresh pastel throw pillows to quickly transform a room.
Throw pillows are a no brainer and a super easy way to infuse new life into a room. Try layering pops of color and different textures to create a naturally styled look.
2. Opt for a fun throw that’s lighter in texture and feel.
Getting cosy in the springtime doesn’t mean giving up the comfort of a throw blanket. With just enough weight to keep you warm and cool at the same time, a summer throw can also refresh a sofa or bedroom.
3. For the more adventurous, choose one wall, perhaps the sofa or bed wall, and paint it a refreshing yet complementary color to the rest of the room.
Painting a wall is definitely more of a commitment, but its a sure-fire way to transform a room. Choose a color that makes you smile and it will be a winner for months to come. When winter rolls around, just add wool textures to the room and you’re all set.
4. Replace lampshades with a pattern or different color.
Updating a lampshade is easier than you think. With a ton of styles and price points, don’t be afraid to experiment with color and pattern.
5. Infuse pops of color by updating your small accessories such as coasters or picture frames.
When’s the last time you thought of swapping out those old photo frames? Even your coasters might be well worn. Small colorful accessories will give your space a fresh look without breaking the bank.
6. For the bedroom, buy a set of patterned or different colored pillowcases that coordinate with your bedding.
You don’t have to replace your entire bedding collection to update your bedroom. Using pillowcases with a different accent color or patterned border will give your bed a new look, especially when you coordinate with a lighter summer throw.
7. Bring a breath of fresh air into the bathroom with spring colored hand towels, bath mats and bouquet scented hand soap.
Towels come in all colors, patterns and sizes. From colored piping to patterned borders, a spring inspired towel will give your bathroom new energy. Add a luxurious fresh scented hand soap and your bathroom will feel like a springtime spa.
8. Fresh scented candles around the house like cut grass or floral bouquets instantly make a room smell like Spring.
Scents of fresh hyacinths, tulips and gardenia are super popular candle fragrances. Embrace spring in every room with even just a votive candle. This small investment will linger throughout your home and perk up your senses.
9. And finally, there’s no better way to welcome spring than by placing beautiful bouquets of tulips, daffodils or hyacinths throughout your home.
Spring is all about the flowers! Whether it’s at your desk, kitchen counter or night table, treat yourself…and your home…to your favorite bouquet.
