Spring Awakening
Spring has officially sprung! Follow W Design’s five easy tips to liven up your space after those harsh winter months:
1) Freshen up with Paint
Nothing says fresh quite like a new coat of paint! We love a palette of watery greens and blues to bring a cool, sophisticated look to any space. Or, try a neutral shade for a crisp and clean look. Use accessories as a way to incorporate a pop of color. Some of our favorite cooler shades include Benjamin Moore’s Elmira White (HC-84) and Healing Aloe (1562), as well as Sherwin William’s Agreeable Gray (SW7029) and Accessible Beige (SW7036).
2) Accessorize
Throw out those old throw pillows and dusty magazines! Accessorizing a room can completely change the energy of a space. We love decorative boxes and colorful vases to reinvent a shelving unit. Make your room more inviting with coffee table accessories such as a wooden tray, magnifying glass, and candles.
3) De-Clutter
A clean space is the key to a refreshing home. Sometimes it is difficult to be objective in your own space. Call over a friend to help clear out unnecessary items. Sometimes, less is more. A deep clean will make you feel just as rejuvenated as your space!
4) Rearrange & Brighten
You would be surprised as to how simply re-angling a piece of furniture can completely revamp a space. Placing a mirror adjacent to a window helps to reflect light and brighten a space. Replace those old pictures and create a photo wall with updated photos in matching frames/mattes. Add a well-positioned, directional light in a corner towards a wall to brighten a dark corner.
5) Go Green
Plants are invigorating and rejuvenating. Floral arrangements will bring a touch of spring into your home. Plants also add a touch of feng shui for great energy in every space. We love crisp, white orchids, fig leaf trees, and jade plant.
