In spring, our consciousness seems to awaken in the same way as nature around does. There is a desire to create and transform the home environment into a lighter and more colorful one, using simple, not too expensive, but effective techniques, for example, with the help of themed decor.
Take a critical look around the rooms and honestly admit to yourself what things you need to get rid of long ago. Cleansing the space from the accumulated "ballast" is a very important and desirable step on the way to improving the interior, and it will become much easier to breathe in a spacious, clean room.
How to decorate rooms in spring
Making repairs with the onset of the new season is a tedious task and impossible for many for many reasons. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to change the decorative environment without investing a lot of money, effort and time. All that needs to be done to fill the room with a spring mood is to use natural light fabrics, natural colors and thematic patterns. So, hide away heavy thick woolen bedspreads, fleecy carpets and paintings with winter landscapes.
When choosing a light spring decor, remember that it should evoke associations with natural phenomena and be of appropriate colors:
Blue, azure, turquoise: spring sky, clear stream, first flowers.
White, yellow, lemon: spring flowering trees, dandelions, bright sun.
Pink, coral, peach: sunrise, tulips.
Pale green, cream, brown: young greens, blossoming buds.
Grey, mother-of-pearl, mint: the first thunderstorms, clearings in the snow, melt water.
Spring in the living room
For changing dense tissues and rich colors should come in lightweight cotton capes in pastel shades or natural colors of awakening nature.
For decorative spring decoration of the living room, we recommend choosing:
Cotton, linen or silk covers sofa cushions.
The bedspreads from the chairs can be completely removed or replaced with satin covers.
Instead of carpets, it is better to use light woven runners or sisal rugs.
Decorate tables, consoles, chests of drawers or a fireplace with vases of spring flowers and, if possible, change them more often to fill the room with the sweet scent of tulips, lilies of the valley or flowering branches fruit trees.
Remove the lambrequins from the windows, blackout curtains with muslin and ties, replace them with taffeta or cotton curtains, complement them with translucent tulle.
On the shelves and in niches in the bathroom, arrange candles with an invigorating scent of mint, lemon or jasmine. Buy new accessories for soap and cream in delicate pastel shades. And near the sink or dressing table, you can put small vases with flowering twigs or a composition of artificial peonies and tulips (although they do not smell, they will make the bathroom light and beautiful in spring).
blooming bedroom
With the arrival of warmth and bright sun, changes should also occur in the bedroom so that waking up is easy and going to bed is pleasant.
- Open the window opening wider, and hang the curtains lighter, choosing light fabric colors: blue, white, cream, pale green, light yellow, silver and green. They will look especially good if the bedroom is located on the north side of the house.
- Instead of a warm woolen bedspread and fur wrap on the bed, it is now better to lay a cotton quilted bedspread. Patchwork options are great, and for more sophisticated bedrooms, you can choose a solid color bedspread and complement it with bedding with a delicate floral pattern.
- It is not recommended to completely abandon rugs on the floor, since even in the warm season the coating can remain quite cool. We advise you to give preference to rugs with a low pile or woven from natural materials(fine wool or cotton).
- The delicate aroma of blossoming apricot or plum blossoms will not be too intense for the bedroom, even if you have a keen sense of smell, it will not interfere with relaxing and falling asleep. You can safely decorate the room with vases with flowering branches.
- The bedside lamp shade can also be replaced with a similar one, only with a thematic pattern, and a set of sleeping pillows can be supplemented with a pair of decorative cotton or silk ones.
Cheerful children's
It is much more fun for children to meet spring by spending long time in the fresh air, but when returning home, they should feel a light atmosphere in their room. Therefore, the issue of thematic spring design should be given due attention.
For a nursery, order, light and colors are important, which means that access should be provided. sunbeams and air, choosing a lightweight version of the curtains. Breathable cotton or linen curtains, sheer tulle with a small gathering factor, or just Roman blinds are suitable - functional option. It is necessary to remove all carpets, leaving only comfortable paths and rugs on the floor small size which are easy to clean and wash.
One of several functional areas The children's room can be distinguished with the help of unusual coloring of the wall. For example, in the play area, the selected area is decorated with horizontal stripes of different colors of the natural palette (blue, green, gray, yellow), and the wall at the desktop can be decorated with a stencil pattern (silhouette of a flower or bird, openwork ornament or waves).

Don't be afraid to use bright vibrant color combinations if they belong to the natural color palette. Thus, you can color the room with decorative pillows of bright blue, pistachio, red or orange flowers with an interesting application or stylish stripes (in the boy's room).
On pre-painted smooth walls can be pasted thematic drawing from oracal - an adhesive film, on which the selected pattern will be applied in the printing house. Such a technique in decorating a nursery is very convenient, because it will allow you to quickly and easily change boring walls and, if necessary, the film can be removed without leaving marks.
Fresh atmosphere in the kitchen
Spring comes to every home and, of course, it cannot bypass the kitchen. As a thematic decorative design nothing limits the freedom of your imagination in this room, except for the condition that objects must be mobile so that they can be easily replaced.
Textile
Tablecloths - cotton or polyester - light, with a delicate floral pattern, potholders and towels, napkins in delicate pastel colors. Hang bamboo roller blinds or light, functional polyester curtains on the windows (Roman tulle designs are also suitable). You can sew removable covers for chairs and stools.
Even if you are against the use of rugs on the kitchen floor, sometimes you can make an exception and temporarily lay a woven rug with ornaments or flowers in the pattern.
Dishes
The usual set of plates and cups can be put away for a while in the closet, and instead of it on the open shelves, put up bright ceramics and a service made of fine porcelain with a spring pattern in green-yellow, pink-green, white-green tones.
The teapot is always in sight and in constant use. Maybe it's time to update it with a brighter copy.

Bringing some fresh colors into each of the rooms, you thereby improve the mood of the household and your own, and the house becomes cozier and more beautiful. Good spring to you and creative ideas!
Warm rays of the sun, cool breeze and fragrance of flowers. Only in spring you want to live, create, change so much! So what's the deal? Right now, in anticipation of the thaw, we have a great opportunity to transform our house!
In order for the spring mood to settle in the house, it is not at all necessary to start a grandiose repair. A little fresh paint, original details and a sea of "air" - and now your interior has come to life, and there is no trace of winter hibernation left in the house.
Change mood palette
Spring is fresh. This means that “refreshing” tones should play in the interior - green, blue, yellow and always white. It is better if these colors are blurry, not catchy. Pastel shades will convey the atmosphere of awakening, coolness that we strive for.
White color will help you create a feeling of spaciousness, lightness. You can use this color both in detail and on a large scale, for example, in the design of windows or walls.
Also boldly paint the house in pale blue shades. They may appear in the curtains, decorative pillows and furniture covers, carpet. But sunny yellow and juicy green are best left for accents. Such bright details will make the interior interesting and original.
You can “revive” the atmosphere with the help of spring ornaments - flowers, plants and birds. Intricate patterns with their image will give the house a unique tenderness.
More softer interior will become if you add droplets of pale pink, peach and lilac shades. Do not overdo it! Let it be 1-2 not catchy details. We do not need flashy variegation, but the subtle charm of the youth of nature.
Let's breathe a fresh breeze
The feeling of a light breeze on the face gives an indescribable feeling of lightness and happiness. Let's let this breeze into our house. And for this, we free the windows from complex and “heavy” curtains. It is better to replace them with an airy organza, veil or lace.
We will get more “air” if we hide warm winter blankets, things that we don’t use. It is better if there is little furniture in the room than it will be “littered” with beautiful, but taking up a lot of precious space items.
For the “spring” house, this is especially true. Place a bright object in the back of the room that will visually make the room larger. To create lightness, use more transparent glass - coffee table, simple shaped vases, crockery.
And now, freed from everything dull, superfluous, your house is ready for further changes.
Let's place accents
Spring is lightness, naturalness and tenderness. We take any of these signs as a basis or combine them together and select decor items, or better, create them with our own hands!
Fruits can become a bright detail of the spring interior. Lemons or green apples in wooden dishes or in glass vases- a great opportunity to fill your life with decorative "vitamins". Use natural fruits or replace them with artificial compositions so that they please the eye for as long as possible.
Decor items made in shabby chic style simply “breathe” in spring. Airy, sophisticated, they will perfectly emphasize the mood of a home renovated after the winter cold. Aged tree in light colors as if warmed by the sun.
In general, spring decor involves moving away from shiny, fluffy, heavy. When decorating a room, we prefer only natural, “natural”.
What could be more natural than water? The sonorous murmur of spring streams will be most welcome. small decorative fountains decorate the interior, create a mood and help you relax, feel alone with nature.
The original decoration in the spring will be chicks and nests - symbols of new life and home comfort. Try to make them yourself.
The contrasting combination of gentle and rough looks charming. For example, white lace and burlap, thin greens and an old stump.
…and the house blossoms!
What is spring without flowers! They should be the main focus in the interior. Of course, it is better to choose spring flowers - tulips, daffodils, snowdrops, in order to more accurately convey the mood.
Flowers can be present everywhere - in the ornament of sofa cushions, curtains and bed linen, on photo wallpapers and paintings, and always in flower arrangements - live and artificial.
Unfortunately, cut plants will not delight you with their beauty and aroma for a long time, so instead of them it is better to place fragrant pots or baskets with hyacinths, cyclamen or daffodils on the shelves.
Also, cut branches of cherries or other fruit trees and place them in elegant clear glass vases. This spectacular and delicate decor will soon bloom, delighting you with its beauty, which we can only see in spring.
Such flowering twigs look great in wreaths on front door. Similar wreaths can be made from flowers and buds, ribbons, lace and beads.
A bright umbrella, a rusty watering can and even rubber boots - all this will become an original and unique decor of the spring interior, reminiscent of the “reviving” colors of nature.
And finally...
Spring is the time of early dawns and long warm evenings. Don't miss the first chirping of birds, the light scent of flowers and herbs, the "smell" of the sun. And for this, already now think about transforming the balcony. Turn these few square meters to a paradise where you can enjoy your morning coffee or family dinner, retire with your favorite book or take care of yourself.

It's time to create spring decor for your home and garden with your own hands - the air, already warmed by the first warm rays, vibrates from the energy of nature's renewal. Our article presents ideas that will help you fill your home with freshness and rich colors. Everything is here: from simple projects from indoor flowers to more daring experiments with wall decor.
1. Redo old planters for indoor flowers
Give simple ceramic pots a second life by painting them two colors. You need to stick the tape and cover half of the pot with one of the two chosen paints, and then let it dry completely and do the same procedure with the second half. Several colored pots with potted or garden plants, lined up in a harmonious composition, will be a nice addition to the design of the porch. Try using chalkboard paint and then, after it's dry, you can write plant names or house numbers on the pots.

2. Create an accent in the form of a pattern on the wall
You can decorate the wall in an unusual way with the help of masking tape. After the primer dries, masking tape should be glued to the wall. The stripes can be placed in any order you like. Then paint the wall in the color of your choice. After removing the adhesive tape, a nice geometric ornament will be found on the wall. If the drawing has spread a little, you should wait until the paint dries, mark the irregularities with a pencil and paint over them manually.

3. Create your own art objects in the kitchen
You can simply cut out the shapes of fruits and vegetables from colored paper to create a collage out of them. For best result it is worth using special opaque paper and more thick paper for the background. To assemble the collage, you need to dilute the PVA glue with a small amount of water and apply it in a thin layer on the background, and then stick the colored paper figures. Application is ready!

4. "Grow" flowers in boxes
Vintage wooden containers can make great flower pots, but they can deteriorate due to high soil moisture, so the wood needs to be treated or padded. The main thing is to have flowers or just green plants there were many. And then you can create the illusion of being in a real garden.

5. Decorate the shelves
Paint the back wall of the shelf in any shade of the spring palette, or simply insert a sheet of colored paper of the right size inside the shelf (scrapbooking paper or matte gift wrapping paper is great!). It can be attached to back wall using double sided tape. If you chose the option with painting, do not forget to remove the shelf from the wall to avoid smudges.

6. Make a flower cone
Cut out a circle from thick craft paper, decorate with your own drawings (using paints or markers). Roll into a cone and secure with colored tape to make mini bouquets. They can be used as party decorations or as a stylish gift.
Advice: To protect the paper and help the flowers stay fresh, wrap the stems in a damp paper towel and place them in a small plastic bag before inserting into the paper cone.

7. Grow a mini garden in a teacup
You can take old, even chipped cups and turn them into mini planters. Before planting the plants, you will need to drill a drainage hole in the bottom of each cup. It is also necessary to use a saucer to protect the surface of the table from water. Can be planted pansies or other undersized flowers, and the composition of such cups will be a great addition to the interior of the living room, kitchen or dining room.

8. Change table legs
Hairpin legs were first used in the furniture industry in the early 1940s to reduce material consumption due to the war, but they are still popular today. Replacing existing ones with them is a great way to update an old-fashioned and shabby (or just plain boring) table, or even bring out the texture of a countertop. You can find stiletto legs - both vintage and modern - in online stores.
Advice: If you're planning on replacing regular table legs with studs, first turn your table over and figure out the type of mount before ordering new ones. Many tables have screw-on legs (they can be removed and replaced relatively easily), but other types of designs may not be suitable for this do-it-yourself project.

9. Use cereal containers as greenery pots
Try growing fresh herbs in tin tins for cereals and keep them on your kitchen windowsill so that you can cut off a sprig at any time and add it to the dish. Look in stores for stickers with a surface in the style of " blackboard”, they are sold in hobby shops. You can write the names of spices on them.

10. Dismantle the pantry
A tidy, well-organized pantry makes food prep easier and prevents you from re-purchasing ingredients by mistake. It is necessary to remove all unnecessary and expired food and spices from the shelves. It is worth taking baskets and boxes and using them to sort goods into categories (pastries, breakfasts, snacks, spices). To make your storage system more efficient, it's best to choose drawers that have a good view of the contents.

11. Paint old furniture a bright color
Give your kitchen stools, dining chairs or old desk the new kind using some color. It should only be painted in a well-ventilated area (and even better - on outdoors), and pre-prepare the surface for painting by grinding, degreasing and priming. It is better to use a quality brush (rather than a foam roller) and paint large flat surfaces with long strokes.

12. Decorate the chandelier with flowers
The famous Polish chandeliers, decorated with flowers, fringes and ruffles made of crepe paper, are ideal for decorating the house on the occasion of holidays and parties. Make the same with your own hands, and you will not want to part with it until the end of the season.
Attach the artificial flowers to the chandelier body with wire. Make sure they don't come into contact with lamps. To simplify your task, you can purchase a ready-made flower garland and cut it to the desired length.

13. Paint Candle Holders Spring Colors
You can revive the old wooden candlestick, painting its lower part in a bright spring shade. Assembled into a composition and placed in the center of your dining table or on a tray, they will add spring freshness to the interior of your home. Other accessories can be decorated using the same technique: for example, a wicker basket, a vase, or even a photo frame (in this case, you must first remove the glass and photo).

14. Convert a cart into a bar for the veranda
Have a cart that you can't fully use? Fill it with whimsical vintage crockery, a pitcher of water, a vase of fresh flowers, and drinks of your choice, and the porch bar is ready. Alcohol is optional: you can fill the bottles with juice or lemonade, or get by with a pitcher of iced tea and a platter of pie.
If you have to move the cart across an uneven porch, you should free it from fragile dishes and anything that could spill, and take them all out separately.

15. Hang a garland in the backyard
Garlands hung in the patio or on the porch are sure to create a festive atmosphere during the party and simply give the house a dressy look. They need to be hung high so that a person of sufficiently tall stature does not touch them with his head. If your home is not equipped with outdoor outlets, it is worth hiring a qualified electrician to install one in accordance with safety regulations.

Green pets.
For all areas of the apartment, buy a pot of cyclamens or any other "seasonal" flowers.

Pots can be decorated with ribbons or wrapped in colored paper.
Spring good time not only to buy new plants, but also to transplant old ones. Perhaps your green pets have grown and need to be seated. 
Others, on the contrary, did not survive the winter and now need an urgent replacement - go to the store! Choose beginners based on your experience: if ferns do not get along with you, try ficuses. It is impossible for you to change the climate in your apartment to please the flowers, but you can find those flowers that it is perfect for. If you guess right, the new flowers will live in your house for many years.
All to the balcony.
Soon it will become completely warm and it will be possible to plant flowers on the balcony. If still temperature conditions do not allow this, then you can learn from the experience of the Europeans - they use artificial flowers when it is obvious that the living simply cannot stand either the cold or, conversely, the burning sun.
Modern artificial flowers look very natural, and if you choose those that are usually kept on balconies, then the illusion will be complete!
