Easter is over and it’s not quite summer yet, so after all those Bunnies and Eggs are put away, then what? Officially summer is still a month away, so I am not ready to rush things, but I do need to refresh my home a bit. I don’t think you have to re-invent the wheel each time you make a change in your decor. Sometimes it is fun to totally start from scratch and switch everything up, but most of the time just a few simple tweaks and you have a whole new look.
Pillows and throws can change any space in a flash. Adding some new, swapping out a few others and your room suddenly looks fresh and new. By adding yellow and white with the blue pillow that I was already using and adding some yellow branches to a floral arrangement, this room looks totally different.
Adding yellow to the room gave it a huge color boost. If my room has been rather neutral before, then adding some color gives the room a whole new life.
Texture totally changes a room too. The hat on the chair draws your eye to the basket that the plant is in. Use your baskets and even your summer hat to add a bit of texture to a room. Shop the house for anything you might have.
The coffee table is a great place to add some texture and character too. You could replace the white bowl that I am using with a beautiful basket tray filled with a candle, books, a pretty box – all kinds of interesting items. For summer I like to lighten things up a bit so I left the bowl empty. ( For Easter it will filled with marble eggs.)
This pretty bowl and plant add tons of texture to this table.
It really is easy to go from this –
To this without reinventing the wheel.
I love both looks but it is nice to switch a few things around for a change. How about you, do you like to switch it up a bit?
