We just celebrated ‘Basant Panchami’– the Spring Festival yesterday. Amidst the sunshine, cool breeze and fresh greenery, the season of blooming flowers is finally here. It’s time to cast your big, fluffy blankets aside and pack your down jackets inside closets. Open your windows and let the fresh air in. Take down dark-coloured draperies from your windows and drape your rooms and closets in light, flowery colours.
Here are 7 handy tips to prepare your homes for spring.
- Spring is the perfect time to shop for pillow wardrobe. Replace the bold, sophisticated, velvet and satin pillow covers with light, breezy fabrics like linen or Egyptian cotton. Make sure you go for prints.
Adorn the front door with beautiful shades, wines and flowers. - Paint the Front door. If you’ve been planning to replace your dull-looking front door with beautiful colours, just hit the markets and get paint supplies. Paint your doors in bright, happening colours to welcome the new season.
Add fresh green plants to refresh the air. - Freshen up things with an indoor plant. Decorate your vases with banana, palm or Philodendron plants. Their big, bold statement leaves attract instant attention of your guests! What’s better? You don’t have to spend a fortune on their maintenance.
Add colourful colours to monotonous rooms. - Add more colours to your interiors. Spring is the season of lively colours. Add a splash of colour to your rooms in little things that you add. It could be small objects like vases, books, side-table lamps or table linen.
Use peppy bookshelves to decorate your kids’ rooms. - Revamp your bookshelves. It’s time to break the monotony of dull walls. Put up a floating shelf and arrange it with your favourite books and magazines in different styles. Arrange the books in different ways to make it more attractive.
Use aroma candles to unwind tension. - Add new scents to indoors. Use a new room freshener, add sweet-smelling aroma candles or keep scented air purifiers inside. They not only refresh your surroundings but also relive tension.
Wall art is a beautiful way to represent your creativity. - Dress up your walls. It’s time to paint your walls with beautiful colours and patterns. If you’re creative, you can consider making a wall graffiti. If not, just go for double colours but make sure that they’re good.
There are plenty of other ways to welcome this festival. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks this season!
