The days are getting longer, the snow is retreating (for now) and spring is approaching. That makes us want to leave winter behind us more and more. While we long for the warmth of the sun, welcoming spring into our homes can give a new lease of life. Even though it may not have arrived quite yet. Here are 5 tips on how to get inspired with a little spring atmosphere in your home.
1. Embrace the light
Let the light in! Wash the windows and open them up to let in the spring air. Replace the dark heavy curtains with some light and airy ones. Think carefully before choosing a color, curtains can make a big difference in a room's aesthetic. With bolder colors like purple or yellow, they can quickly become the main focus of the room, but if you don't plan on changing them often, it can be smart to stick to more neutral colors like light blue or beige tones. Remember that exposing yourself to lots of natural light will help you sleep better at night!
2. Get colors down to the floor
Transform your floor to match the spring mood. Replacing furniture is expensive, but an easy way to add more color to your floor is to buy a new rug. Our Lorena Canals rugs come in a variety of colors and patterns, and in different fabrics such as wool and cotton. All rugs are machine washable, making them easy to keep clean.
3. Decorative pillows
Decorative pillows are also an affordable and effective way to create a new atmosphere in a room. In our online store we have a large selection of decorative pillows in many different colors and fabrics. These are just as suitable for the bedroom as the living room or the children's room.
4. Plants and spring flowers
Some fresh spring flowers and plants in the living room create a unique atmosphere and are a breath of fresh air in the room. Find inspiration on Pinterest, Instagram or visit the websites of the various flower retailers to find out more about what is in season.
5. Wash and tidy
Nobody likes to do laundry, but a proper spring cleaning does wonders for your home. Wash windows to let in light, wash the floor with green soap and air out well afterwards, and you will experience the spring atmosphere with your sense of smell too! Remove all the “winter things” like sheepskins and thick wool blankets. Experiment with moving things around a bit, moving the sofa or some chairs a bit. It doesn’t take much to make it feel brand new.
