Now that summer is right around the corner, it's officially time to spruce up your drab living space. Whether you are looking to redecorate an old bookshelf, or are on the hunt for a new art project for your home, these refreshing ideas will be sure to inspire the sunnier side in you
Rearrange
Is an old bookshelf, display table or vanity area looking a bit stale? A way to instantly transform and spice up your everyday living space is by simply taking a step back and reorganizing. By stripping down the surface and starting with a fresh clean slate, it's a perfect way to de-clutter your display area and rethink your decorating options. Work with what you have by restyling books and bringing in new elements to showcase such as antiques and eye-catching picture frames. Even opt for splurging on chic bins and boxes for elegant organization.
Swap
Those chilly winter and spring months required chunky blankets to snuggle up and keep warm with, but now it's officially time to pack them away. Swap out decorative pillows and throws used during the winter months, and bring in new ones that better suit the summer season. A lightly knitted throw placed at the foot of a bed or draped over the arm of a couch is a perfect way to introduce a vibrant pop of color into the room, while placing different sizes of decorative pillows that have a mix of patterns adds a dramatic, beach bungalow summer-time feel to your cozy quarters.
Introduce
Refresh your living space for the season by introducing a little bit of Mother Nature into every room. A tiny potted plant in the bathroom, basil in the kitchen, a fiddle leaf fig tree in your home office—the list goes on! Not only do houseplants have many benefits for your health, they also happen to look great and give any room a welcoming feel. A little green can go a long way.
Revamp
Whether you decide to purchase entirely new light fixtures for the kitchen, or simply choose to switch a shade on a lamp in the living room, revamping the lighting within your house can do wonders by adding a bit of dimension to your interior décor.
Create
Nothing says chic more than a personalized art gallery wall, right in your own home. Let your creative juices flow by picking out custom frames, photographs and styling your own eclectic masterpiece. This art project is all about unleashing your artistic side by mixing and matching vintage frames and pictures with more modern pieces. If you need more guidance with a project like this, craft stores actually have frame sets already packaged with hanging templates to help decorate your wall.
