Freshening Up Your Home for Spring and Summer

1. Keep the basics: furniture, flooring, wall colors, window treatments & lighting.
   
2. Pack away accessories that scream winter like candles, throws and dark or heavy things. Bring them back in the Fall.
   
3. Shop for new accessories like rugs, pillows, artwork & decorative items.
   
4. Go for light weight fabrics and textures like linen, cotton and bamboo.
   
5. Use lighter colors, whites, light tans and pastels. Also try using some natural patterns too like floral, leafs, etc.
   
6. Try to keep everything light, bright and simple with a pop of color here and there.
