As the warm sunshine creeps ever closer, you may find yourself with an urge to freshen up your home's décor. Whether you need a drastic makeover or are just looking to add a few weather-inspired touches, our trending décor ideas will help you transform your suburban sanctuary into a space that's ready to welcome the changing seasons. Here are 5 ways you can bring the beauty of the warm weather indoors this year!
Bring Nature Inside
We all love blooming flowers, chirping birds, and the fresh scent of grass as we move into the warmer weather. And one of the best ways to infuse some bright energy into your home is to bring nature indoors.
Add fresh flowers, potted plants, or even a mini herb garden to your living space. Not only will they add a touch of greenery, but they will also purify the air and provide a relaxing atmosphere. No green thumb? No problem! Artificial branches and flowers have come a long way, and we love how strategic arrangements like these can add a touch of the outdoors without the fuss.
And as the farmhouse style trends out, decorative wreaths, birdhouses, and birdcages can still add a rustic charm that's more sophisticated.
Play with Colors and Patterns
Colors burst forth in this time of year! So although monochromatic and moody color palettes are "in," now is the time to introduce some brighter, more optimistic shades and patterns into your home.
This year, we're loving the soft blush pinks, mint greens, and marigolds that are popping up. Here are some other popular colors that are making an appearance this season.
We recommend incorporating color with a few statement pieces that can easily rotate out in other seasons:
- Accent chairs
- Area rugs
- Curtains
- Throw blankets
- Wall art pieces
- Floor lamps
- Centerpieces
Don't forget patterns! Florals are the natural choice in spring, but there are so many options (like geometric shapes, stripes, buffalo check, and more) that can add depth to your décor.
If you want to go bold, peel-and-stick wallpaper on an accent wall can be a great way to incorporate brighter colors or intricate designs. Here are a few trending wallpaper ideas we love for this year.
Embrace Light Fabrics
A calm breeze blowing through a sheer fabric curtain is one of the more relaxing aspects of this time of year. To keep your home feeling light and bright, swap out heavy curtains and blankets for daintier fabrics such as linen, cotton, and sheer materials. This will instantly create an airier feel in your home.
Add Textures
Why does a cozy coffee shop feel so, well, cozy? Because of the wide range of textures. Woods, metals, tile, and leather, are all popular textures in coffee shops because the variety creates a warm atmosphere.
You can achieve this look by decorating with:
- Wood baskets
- Woven rugs
- Mixed metallic accents
- Braided jute poufs
- Rattan trays
- Bamboo lampshades
- Throw pillows in a variety of fabrics
- Ceramic and glass vases
The mix of textures will create a layered look that is oh-so-inviting!
Update Hardware and Cabinets
If it's been a while since your home was built, it may be time to give your kitchen and bathrooms a refresh. Updating the hardware and cabinets can go a long way in creating a modern look without uprooting everything.
As we mentioned above, neutrals and moody dark tones are trending right now, but cabinets can be a great place to show a bright personality and character.
With a fresh stain or coat of paint and new knobs, your cabinets will instantly be spring-ready. We're seeing a ton of gold and matte black hardware this year and cabinets ranging from black to dusty pink and our favorite mint green (mentioned above).
We hope these ideas have given you a great place to start your spring home décor project! When you're ready for more inspiring ideas, explore Overstreet Builders’ luxury floor plans in the Chicago suburbs.
