I think that decorating for a new season is more fun than imaginable and there are so many wonderfully different ideas to use to bring a change to your interior.
Here are a few of my favorite suggestions to bring a little Spring indoors.
Here are a few of my favorite suggestions to bring a little Spring indoors.
Give New Life to Furniture
Here’s something to remember when picking out paint…If you're a novice, go with water-soluble latex. It's easier to apply and clean up. Latex is also nontoxic, dries in one to two hours, and has less odor.
Oil-based paints are better for sealing stains and adhering to metal or dirty surfaces. The downside is they take up to 24 hours to dry, have strong odors, and require mineral spirits or turpentine to clean up. And keep in mind that oil-based paints are a flammable, hazardous material that requires careful disposal.
Cover Up
I know what you are thinking….Should I slipcover a piece of furniture or have it reupholstered? A custom slipcover usually costs about the same price as reupholstering. So the choice is up to you. If you have children or pets, slipcovers are great because they can be washed. Also, because a slipcover can easily be removed, you can take it off and enjoy the piece in its original fabric at any time.
Borrow from Nature
Create a scrapbook of beach memories, or look for coffee table books that celebrate the seashore. You can also add subtle accents to your home décor - such as coasters, paperweights, or hand towels that are printed with seaside images.
Use Good Scents
Now... enjoy the warm weather indoors as well as outdoors
