Add Greenery

What is more synonymous with a refresh than some beautiful natural greenery?  Plants are the perfect way to showcase your green thumb just in time for Earth Day, plus they add a natural feeling of openness. They’re also fantastic for getting your creative juices flowing, their mere presence providing a sense of calmness and spiritual freedom.

Switch Out Your Art—But Not In The Way You’d Expect

Sure, you can buy new art—who doesn’t like a brand-spanking-new Rembrandt to tie their décor together? However, if you’re low on cash and looking for some innovation in your space, try switching your art! Switch the family portrait out of the bedroom into your entryway and add the Picasso to your bedroom. A piece of art has the capability of changing the whole vibe of a space, so keeping the art pieces you already own on constant seasonal rotation makes each room feel new yet familiar.

Be Smart About Organization

Yes, we all know the Marie Kondo tips of throwing out things that don’t spark joy. However, it’s time to get a little innovative about how we store and organize items. Invest in organizational items that make your areas stay clean. For example, in your home office: Use a desktop organizer or a wall shelf to save space.

Add More Light

Face it; after a bleak, dark winter, we could all use a little more Vitamin D in our lives. Maximize the natural light in your home by hanging decorative accent mirrors to your space! A wall mirror increases the vibrancy of a space by spreading that natural light, enhancing the overall depth and dimension of a room.
