We're enjoying the blue bird sky and spring breeze today. Our windows are open. It's making us think about spring decorating. Spring is a wonderful time of year, bringing with it warmer temperatures and new growth. It's also a great opportunity to refresh the look and feel of your Maine home. Here are some tips for decorating your home for spring:
-
Add pops of color: Spring is all about vibrant colors, so consider adding some bright, cheerful accents to your home. Think about incorporating floral prints, pastel hues, or even bold, statement colors like fuchsia or chartreuse. You can add these accents through throw pillows, curtains, or even a new area rug.
-
Bring the outdoors in: Spring is a time when nature comes alive, so why not bring some of that freshness inside? Consider adding a vase of fresh flowers to your kitchen or dining room, or placing a potted plant in your living room. Not only will these additions add a pop of color, but they'll also help purify the air in your home. Snug Harbor Farm is open - they have some beautiful plants and fresh blooms :)
-
Swap out heavy fabrics: During the winter months, we tend to use heavier fabrics like flannel and wool to keep warm. However, as the weather gets warmer, it's time to switch things up. Swap out heavy drapes for lightweight curtains, and switch out your bedding for something lighter and brighter.
-
Incorporate natural textures: In addition to bringing in fresh flowers and plants, consider incorporating other natural textures into your decor. Woven baskets, jute rugs, and wooden accents can all add a touch of warmth and earthiness to your home.
-
Don't forget the outdoor spaces: Finally, don't forget about your outdoor spaces. Spring is the perfect time to spruce up your patio or deck with some new furniture, bright cushions, or outdoor rugs. Add some potted plants or hanging baskets to create a welcoming and inviting space to relax and enjoy the warmer weather. Pansies can survive the porch (usually) in spring. Hannaford and Snug Harbor Farm have a great selection.
By following these simple tips, you can easily update your Maine home for spring and create a cozy, welcoming space that celebrates the beauty of the season.
