Springtime seems to evoke a desire to freshen up and lighten up our homes. This is most easily done with a few key accessories such as pillows, florals, artwork and vignettes. This photo from BHG shows how to incorporate two of the hot colors for spring….Pink and Orange.This room has a casual elegant feel, many of the furnishings are more traditional but you see a lamp has been added that is a bit more contemporary in shape and it has been topped with a hot pink shade…a “trend accessory” for spring. The pillows also incorporate orange and pink in a softer, more muted way. Keeping the main, bigger ticket furnishings in fairly neutral shades makes it easy to add some of the seasonal trend colors with accessories.

Notice on the mantel a vignette of vases in trend colors and over the side table a piece of artwork that mimics the vase of fresh flowers below it.

Fresh flowers on each of the tables combined with accessories in trend colors add new life to this room without a lot of fuss and without breaking the budget.Why not head out to your favorite home decor store and pick up a few accessories in fresh spring trend colors to give your rooms a breath of fresh air…it’s fun, it’s easy and it makes you feel good!
