Spring Decorating: The New Spring Cleaning
Spring decorating ideas to freshen up your home
THINK OUTSIDE THE WALLS
It’s time to paint your ceiling. While we consider walls to be fair game to add color or change a space, ceilings are generally left untouched. There is so much potential overhead. Take a moment to consider how much warmth painting your ceiling can add to a space. It can instantly change the focal point of a room, can produce an inviting environment, and not to mention it will set you apart from the crowd. Painting the ceilings of a smaller room can blur the boundaries and can produce a sense of infinite space in a minimal space.
Scared to start? Take a tip from Dwell and use hallways as a starter "room" for painted ceilings. Paint the back wall and the ceiling the same color while leaving the side walls white, and you’ll "widen" the space; paint the side walls and ceiling while leaving the back wall, and you’ll emphasize the length of a hallway.

DITCH THE SUBWAY TILE
Funky tile in bathrooms and kitchens are on trend in 2021 and can bring a refresh to your home instantly. Think eye-popping hues and bold patterns, because white-on-white is over. A fun and surprising use of tile can be appealing and has the potential to keep your spaces interesting, no matter how many times you enter a room.
REFRESH A ROOM WITH NEW THROW PILLOWS
Lovers of maximalist design know that when it comes to throw pillows, you can (almost) never have enough. Throw pillows are a great way to change up your space with minimal investment while adding color, pattern, and texture. You can add a few or pile them up on sofas, chairs or beds.
