There’s nothing like the freshness of spring. It’s the perfect season for shaking things up and try something new, especially in your home. Once you’ve completed your seasonal cleaning tasks, turn your attention to spring home improvements. There are so many spring decor projects, both large and small, that can breathe new life into your house. If you’re not comfortable committing to a DIY project, there are a variety of tips and tricks you can use as well.

Add Some Greenery

The Pantone Color of the Year is Greenery, a vibrant, zesty shade of yellow-green. This hue is absolutely splendid for spring decor because you can use it in so many ways: as an accent wall, on a piece of furniture, and of course, with actual living greenery.

As Mother Nature wakes up from her winter slumber, the world begins to blossom. Bring that new life into your home for spring. For a simple touch of greenery, buy a climbing plant, which thrives indoors and are nearly impossible to kill. Succulents are also extremely easy to care for and look gorgeous in tabletop terrariums.

Another greenery option is growing wheatgrass in a ceramic pot or repurposed outdoor planter. As your lush, indoor, mini-yard grows, you can use strands of grass to make these very spring-oriented candles.

Break Out the Paint Brushes

Whether it’s a new color for a room in your home or reviving an outdated piece of decor, add vibrant spring colors to your home with a bucket of paint. For instance, an accent wall brings a bold pop of color to a room and is a relatively inexpensive and quick project to complete. Also, instead of investing the time and money into wallpaper, you can stencil designs in your favorite colors on your wall with paint.

Or maybe you have a piece of furniture that has seen better days and could benefit from an update. Painting a piece of furniture in a fun color transforms it. The end result will make a statement in any room.

If you are thinking of going dark with your paint choice, navy blue is an amazing choice for spring. Rather than the bleakness of black, navy blue is rich and adds a lot of depth to any room in your home.

Accessorize with Bright Colors

The sky's the limit so have fun playing with color this season. You can go as simple or advanced as you would like with your colorful spring home accessories. For instance:

• Pick up some funky throw pillows for your living room, or repurpose cloth napkins to cover existing pillows.
• Buy floral branches at your local nursery and display them in a vase.
• For something a bit more permanent, find branches that you can decorate with your own colorful felted wool balls.
• With food coloring, available at any grocery store, you can add a hint of color to the water in your flower vases.
• Update a boring white lamp shade with colorful seam binding, glue, scissors, and bias tape.

Let the Sunshine In

During the winter, it’s energy efficient to use heavier curtains to insulate your home. Now that spring is in the air, switch out those bulky drapes for airy ones. Try bright floral patterns or gauzy transparent fabric as window treatments. You can even make some adorable window valances with men’s handkerchiefs.

Maybe you really want to switch up how much light a room receives, in which case, you should consider a sliding modern barn door. Great for privacy as well, rolling doors change the entire mood of a room and allow you to let in as much or as little light as you prefer.
