Spruce up for Spring
Top Tips: Keep it light & add some green
If you want to infuse a little bit of seasonal style to your home decor, 2023 looks like there will be many opportunities to add a fresh and elegant touch to your abode.
According to Soleil Tierney, design consultant for Darvin Furniture & Mattress,
there are many things that can be done that provide effortless style without
breaking the bank. The key is to take the leap, go for that new feel, and create
a fresh take on any room in your home.
Going Green
Whether it’s on an accent chair, throw pillows, or simply adding greenery to the room, green is definitely the trending accent color this spring. When it comes to adding a touch of green, throw pillows are one of the easiest and most diverse options out there.
Green throw pillows provide a 'welcome!' feeling for any room in your home. From adding a touch to your bedroom to decorating your living room sofa, decorative pillows will instantly transform your space (and green is a great choice).
The one thing you need to be aware of is that every green pillow is not created equal. Be mindful of elements other than color. Patterns, textures, and shades can make all the difference in a room. For example:
Green plaid delivers rustic, warm character
Mint green provides a lighter mood
Velvet green material offers a regal touch
Keep It Light
Keeping things neutral and lighter helps to freshen things up. After a long, cold winter, everyone is ready to brighten up the mood. Don't be afraid to move to a neutral color or tone for your decor, it still creates impact and is easily accented for a touch of feeling or personality.
Neutral colors for sofas and upholstery have always been in the mainstream, but lighter colors, especially neutral tones, give you the chance to create character for your home without dating your decor. At Darvin Furniture, you have the chance to walk a massive showroom and see for yourself how upholstery, lighting, wall color, and even rugs can be pulled together to create style.
Rugs
Rugs are a crucial design component often underutilized – or even overlooked. Rugs make things cozy but, like upholstery, there may be the perception that lighter neutral rugs do not offer personality or style points. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Like upholstery, the texture, pattern, and shade of color in a rug are opportunities for any room to be reinvented or to simply get a fresh, revitalizing touch. A light-colored rug can emphasize an already existing primary color scheme, or it can further create a feeling of color neutrality. If you choose the latter, the options are limitless for adding color and punching up the room seasonally or whenever you feel you need a change of setting.
