The first rays of the spring sun will fill you with optimism and mobilize you to change your interior decoration. For a few months, warm winter blankets, Nordic patterned cushions or lanterns will be forgotten. Natural flowers, floral patterned fabrics or flower crowns take center stage. Do you want to invite spring into your house/apartment?
We give you some suggestions for quickly, inexpensively and easily creating a spring layout in your rooms.
Spring at home: flower buds
There’s probably nothing that says spring more than blossoming trees and flowering bushes. Instead of waiting until the end of April for your garden to bloom, enjoy the flowers now. How to do it ? Simply place in the water a few cut branches from fruit trees, for example cherry, apple, peach or plum trees, or from early flowering ornamental trees Spring at home and shrubs, for example magnolias and forsythias. In a few days, they will flourish in the warmth of the house, delighting the household. Flowering branches, a harbinger of spring, can be used for large bouquets, but also for minimalist compositions.
In the first case, it is better to arrange a few branches in a transparent vase of a simple shape (for example, a cylinder) or in trendy, bulbous bottles imitating wine carboys and place them in the middle of the table. In the second case, all that is needed is a decorative bottle or a tall, narrow container that can be placed, for example, on the sill of a large open window with large glazing and a narrow frame. This spring decoration will adapt to all interior styles. It will fit perfectly into the minimalist Japanese-style layouts which combine Scandinavian comfort with the discretion so typical of the land of cherry blossoms.
Spring interior: flowers in a vase
A quick, inexpensive and foolproof way to invite spring into your home is to decorate it with flowers associated with the first months after winter. Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, sapphires or crocuses, with their intense colors, pleasant scent and beautiful appearance, can transform any interior, even the dullest, in just a few seconds. They can be used in several ways: as cut flowers in vase or container arrangements, but also, as is the case with bulb flowers, in pots.
Cut flower bouquets are the most common and require the least effort. Tulips and daffodils, readily available and inexpensive, can be displayed in a vase, alone or with other bulb species to create colorful arrangements. The best spring effect will be achieved by placing these bouquets in several places in the house or apartment. More permanent arrangements, in which the flowers have not been cut from the bulb, can also be placed on the windowsill, but also on a table. They are most often found simply in pots, but imaginative florists also arrange these floral works of art in less common containers. It is important to know that after flowering
Spring interior decoration: floral fabrics
Are you dreaming of a spring atmosphere in your interiors, but you don’t want a renovation? Instead of repainting walls or rearranging furniture, simply replace pillowcases, curtains, kitchen towels or bathroom towels. Conventional fabrics, mainly solid colors, should be replaced by fabrics with floral patterns, especially those depicting spring flowers. Not only have they been very fashionable for several seasons, but they easily warm the interior and improve the mood of the occupants. In the bedroom, new floral curtains or bed linen will make a huge difference. If you prefer a more discreet arrangement, you can opt for decorative floral pillowcases placed on the bed.
Pillowcases covered in flowers also work well for the sofa, especially when paired with cushions in solid but bright colors. In the kitchen or bathroom, you can achieve a spring makeover by replacing classic tea towels with models with a little more daring floral patterns. Place a tablecloth and napkins decorated with flowering plants on the table. No need to worry about an excess of floral designs: as in the garden in May, here too flowers of different colors and species will not fail to match.
Spring decoration: door wreath and flower pots
Can’t wait for the trees, shrubs and plants to bloom in the garden? Do you want to feel and show everyone that spring is near after the long winter season? Decorations should be placed not only inside your house or apartment, but also outside, at the front door. What are the specific decorations to choose? You can hang a wreath of spring branches and flowers on the front door of your house/apartment.
The imagination of florists is inexhaustible in this matter: from classic round wreaths with red flowers and berries, through arrangements in small wicker baskets, to floral decorations hung on doors in bunches or watering cans in metal. Pots with the first frost-resistant flowers are also worth placing at the entrance. Pansies, primroses, tulips, daffodils, ornamental daisies or hyacinths are perfect for this role. Compositions incorporating pots of different sizes and heights are the most successful. On the other hand, instead of plastic containers that are easily accessible but not very aesthetic, it is better to choose ceramic models.
