SPRING INSPIRED LIVING ROOM

I gave my fireplace area an early spring refresh and absolutely love how it captures the essence of the upcoming season.

I added this beautiful, White Florals Framed Artwork and I was quite surprised how well it matches the faux blossom stems. This simple transformation not only brightens the room but also infuses this space with the fresh invigorating vibes of early spring.

💡Designer Tips:

Here are three designer tips to infuse a bit of spring into your living room space:

Add Fresh, Light Fabrics: Swap out heavy winter textiles for lighter, breathable fabrics like linen or cotton. Think airy throw pillows, light curtains, and fresh slipcovers in pastel shades or floral patterns. These elements instantly bring a fresh, airy vibe to the space.

Incorporate Fresh Flowers or Greenery: Bring nature inside by placing fresh flowers, potted plants, or even faux greenery in vibrant spring colors. A vase of tulips, daisies, or daffodils can make a striking statement, while adding a touch of greenery with plants like ferns or succulents will brighten up the room.

Introduce Light, Bright Colors: Refresh your color palette with soft pastels, light blues, or fresh greens. You can do this through accent pieces like rugs, cushions, or artwork, or even by painting a feature wall. These colors evoke a sense of renewal and warmth, perfect for the spring season.

These simple changes can breathe new life into your living room and give it a light, welcoming springtime feel!
