Decor Inspiration & Advise - Home & Garden
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home with fabulousness! It’s the season when everything seems new again!
Picture bright throw pillows, rugs that bring in the outdoors, new coffee table books to inspire, planters filled with flowers and beautiful items everywhere! I like to look around and see so many gorgeous things that I don’t know where my eye should land first!
Amazon is just the place to find everything you want and need from cute ceramic vases perfect for showcasing fresh tulips and daffodils, to seasonal Easter items to new lamps and light fixtures! I want to help you make your home feel as bright as the season itself!
While I don’t buy everything for my home from Amazon, I do like to sprinkle in seasonal items (these moss bunnies are in my cart) and if I can find a look for less with comparable quality…I’m all in! I have a jute rug in my kitchen from Amazon that I love and throw pillows that look just as expensive as many designer items. It’s not always about the cost, sometimes, it’s about the impact a piece can add to a room! Also…porch and outdoor items from Amazon are definitely the way to go!
Even if you don’t shop this post, I hope that you get a few decor ideas! And… while adding a few new items to your decor can be impactful, rearranging the furniture or moving items around can also make your space feel refreshed!
Read on to be inspired!
I call the items in this collage…traditional with a twist! Don’t underestimate the impact a brightly colored coffee table book on an acrylic stand, or a pretty vase with several blooms can have on a room. Sometimes it only takes a small tweak to make a room feel new again. And please, light your rooms with lamp light…the soft glow from a lamp is so much more inviting than harsh overhead light. If you do use overhead lighting, make sure your light is on a dimmer.
Dress your outdoor area for a garden party and you’ll always enjoy being outside. Fill urns with plants and serve dinner on fun, brightly colored plates. Preserved boxwood balls can be a lifesaver when you need a touch of greenery but don’t have time to do a full flower arrangement. Just remember to store them indoors as they don’t like the humidity! Garden stools are perfect to use as side tables so you have a place to put your glass. I’m totally in love with the pretty green summer dress (another item that’s in my cart)…it’ll be perfect to wear at the beach!
I have a mix of traditional and modern decor in our home because I think it feels more youthful and more interesting to me. The house is so traditional that it could easily feel stuffy without a few contemporary items thrown in. You can add art, unexpected light fixtures and/or fabrics to achieve this. Another way to add an unexpected element to your home is to paint or wallpaper the ceilings.
It’s a dreary Sunday here in North Carolina and the forecast is calling for tornados! I guess I won’t be outside much today, but…there is always something to do inside! I hope you have a wonderful day and be sure to check out my March Love List where I’m sharing so many things to love for March!
Here’s to making life beautiful with small “daily indulgences”!
