Happy Home Happy Springs!

FIRST IMPRESSION

Mirrors are the one most important thing at the entrance way. I love it because I can quickly check my hair and makeup when over as a guest in someone’s house. Play around with mirror shapes and designs to substitute old static looking mirrors.

OMBRE IS NOT JUST FOR HAIR

Ombre effect is appropriate when you don’t want to overdo color. You can maintain the subtlety yet add an edge to your pieces. This effect can also be used to highlight cushions or drapes.

 WATERCOLORS EVERYWHERE

Unless you’re into a Gothic look for your home, try incorporating watercolor paintings to brighten the walls. They are not too on the face, yet they add the perfect amount of color and personality in your living space.

ROSES ARE ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA

Not just on occasions but I'd love to get some regularly. But right now it’s about upholstery, especially if you have an old looking furniture piece. Just a revamp of fabric will give your house an instant vintage/ artistic look. You can opt for any kind of print, but classics are roses!

                                             

B&W ALL THE WAY

Black and white never gets out of fashion. Black and white photos add a very creative edge to the home setting. It sure can be framed paintings, but the best of all will be personalized photographs. Try this to add in drama and cherish all the stories whenever you pass by your picture wall.

CANDLES ARE AN ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

A soft glow will add the perfect crisp to spring nights. From tables to mantles or even consoles,  mix different sizes and shapes to create a master piece.

PASTEL IT UP

Spring's warm sunshine looks dreamy with pastel hues. It could be an addition with a furniture item, wall décor or even curtains. Pastels will also add in the “cool” factor during those sunny days.

SUN CHARMERS

Hello Vitamin D, and who doesn’t like a little sun in this magical season anyway – Sun Charmers are the best way to bring in colors and sunlight inside your humble abode.
                                 

SWEET CORNERS

No! Your entire room furniture does not have to match. We are way beyond that time now.  Pick one favorite item in your room and personalize it. Color it, drape it, but make it look new. This smallest element can bring a major makeover to your room. I have a chair, I painted in gold and got a fuchsia base for it – its beautiful!

SOUL ESCAPE

Who does not like a swing – I mean honestly? The key is to make all the areas of the house as cosy and personal as it can be. It maybe the outside, but it still is home. In my case it’s my terrace, for you it could be the garden or the backyard. Have comfortable seating arrangement with cushions. Try and remain as organic as you can to go with the theme but invest some time in DIY lamps. It would bring out the romance.

BRIGHTEST WHITES

Although I love colors, but I believe there should be some clean white spaces around your house. After all the color brings peace plus, it’s the cleanest yet chicest look to have. Try mixing whites with something colorful, like a white bowl with lemons – a white shelf setting with a couple of colored books.

GO BOLD WITH PRINTS

Who says, solid surfaces have to be solid only? Not saying you get a painter dong intricate details on everything you have, but you can always opt for the easier solutions. Try using printed table cloths or stick ons that can go on vases and candles. If you are remodeling, printed tiles are such a classic.

NATURE’S PURIFIER

Salt Lamps are the biggest IT thing at the moment. Nor are they just beneficial but beautiful too. Can be a great addition to your springy home and the purifying benefits would help fight seasons allergy’s too.

SOFT FEET

Now I am a fan of soft, comfortable surfaces beneath my feet. After a long hectic day, I like getting home and taking off my shoes. This is the perfect season to match printed rugs with your furniture. The pop of color and subtleness just one rug can bring to your room setting is amazing.

HAPPY HOME HAPPY SPRING!
