Spring is a wonderful time of year to refresh and revamp your interiors. If you’re on a budget, you don’t have to spend a fortune to make your home look fabulous for the new season. Here are some hot trends to try now and some simple ways to inject style on a shoestring.
White hot
Nothing says lighter, longer days like pristine white. White is always a popular choice when the weather hots up, and it’s a very easy trend to embrace in almost any room. Using white on the walls will create the illusion of lighter, larger spaces and it also adds crispness and freshness. If you like the idea of adding flashes of white in the living room or going lighter in the kitchen, you can choose to paint the walls or use accessories to do the talking. Painting walls is a very simple, cheap way to transform the look of a room, but if you want to keep some color, investing in affordable accessories is an excellent option. You can use storage jars, plant pots or colored appliances in the kitchen or cushion covers, rugs and vases in the living room. White also works well for bedrooms and bathrooms. Before you start painting, clean the surface with a damp cloth and sand it to ensure a smooth finish. If you’re covering darker shades, you may need a few coats.
Fresh florals
Spring and florals go hand in hand. Many of us like to wear floral prints when it’s warm and sunny outside, but botanic patterns are also a huge trend for spring/summer interiors. Browse homeware stores, look for inspiration in glossy magazines and choose patterns and designs that suit the style and ambiance of the room. If you find items you like in-store, it’s worth looking at sites like Cards2Cash.com to see if you could save money by shopping online. You can choose from pretty prints for an elegant, vintage-style bedroom or go tropical for a bright, retro-style sitting room. Buy floral accessories, such as cushion covers, lamp shades or candle holders for a subtle look or be bold with an embroidered chair or patterned wallpaper.
Green
This spring/summer, you’re likely to see more than a hint of green if you’re keen on flicking through interior magazines or perusing blogs for inspiration and ideas. Green is a vibrant shade, which brings a crisp, clean feel to kitchens, offices, conservatories and orangeries. The natural look is very popular at this time of year, and it’s easy to recreate it on a budget. Keep the walls light with neutral shades and add accents of green with printed cushions and potted plants. You can also use wall art to add color. Use wooden accessories and furniture and floor coverings made from materials like bamboo to complete the look. If you’re short on ideas, check out https://www.pinterest.com/explore/green-rooms/.
