As the spring season is here, it is time to update your house and home furniture to modern and fun! In the past years I’ve learned some great easy and quick ways to update my home as the seasons change to liven up my space. Here are some of those amazing ways to make your home fun and chic:

1. Change the pillow covers or add pillows if you are lacking in your living room. There are so many home decorating stores that offer super affordable decorating pillows for your living room and bedroom. You can also create your own pillows and all you need to do is purchase that beautiful pillow cover that offers color and texture to any room in your home and stuff it with cotton. I can’t have enough pillows, I am currently at nine pillows in my living room and seven pillows in my bedroom (many are different textures, sizes, and colors in harmony). I would love to add to my pillow collection so I am always on the lookout for more. Your bedroom is your sanctuary so I would not skip on buying high quality pillows and pillow covers since you spend a quarter of your day sleeping on it.
2. Move around your night, side, or end tables and mix them up or stop by your nearest home decorating store to purchase an affordable little table. If you want to change or retouch a table, you can purchase a cheap plastic wardrobe and use it as a spray painting tent to avoid the hassle of covering everything up when you spray paint something. Moving your tables around will feel as though you purchased new home furniture and if you change the colors it will definitely liven up your personal space.
3. Lately I’ve been into small plants! I just love how affordable they are and these add such a unique touch to your home. You can place them pretty much anywhere and there are a variety of textures, sizes, and colors. Most indoor plants are also super low maintenance. You can use colored pencil buckets, old wine and beer wooden boxes, or even galvanized steel tubs to use as pots for your plants. If it does not have any drainage, make sure to add gravel at the bottom to help absorb leftover water.
4. Rearrange your frames! I have seen some amazing decorating ideas in house and home magazines such as monochromatic frames of all size placed on one wall (approximately 15 to 20 frames). You can place them in one clutter or arrange them throughout an accent wall or plain wall and even add a large and beautiful mirror in the center to create the illusion of a bigger space. You can purchase used frames of all types in Craigslist, yard sales, swap meets, or flea markets and spray paint them all with one color using the tent described above. You can pretty much paint them with any one color.

Have fun re-decorating your home for the spring season! And remember, spring time allows you to go bold with colors and textures!
