I like for my home to reflect the current season without pulling out seasonal plastic bins of decorations. Some easy ways I try to get some color impact in our spaces are:

  • shop the house and gather a few things in the same color family and put them all in one room (that’s what I did with pink in our bedroom)
  • bring in flowers
  • finally paint your front door that color you’ve always wanted
  • set out a bowl of seasonal fruit, your family can eat it and you can decorate with it
  • switch out your pillow covers for something brighter, you don’t need to keep a huge stash of extra pillows, but it’s fun to have a few extra pillow covers to choose from
  • paint your own wall art for the price of a new or used canvas from the goodwill
  • put that brightly colored throw or quilt on the bed
  • cut something, anything green from your yard and bring it inside
  • want a big change? paint that wall a super saturated color
