Let the Sunshine In! Quick Ways to Lighten Up Your Room

It’s officially spring season! And if you’re still sleeping under thick sheets or you haven’t replaced those heavy curtains yet, maybe it’s time to take a weekend off and update your home. Don’t miss the refreshing warmth of spring and bring in the joy of this season right inside your beautiful living space.

After months of living in a chilly and sometimes dreary living room, we can finally move on to a whole new season where we can look forward to a pleasant day while anticipating the joys of summer.

So what are you waiting for? Get your stuff ready and let’s give your living room a quick make over. By just moving some things inside your living room or moving around your modern living room furniture set, you can instantly let the sunshine in and enjoy the refreshing mood of the spring season!

1.    Open Thy Windows!

It’s time to open up your house and welcome Mr. Sun into your living room. Months of being buried in snow may leave a dull impression in your favorite common space. Get rid of that heavy feeling by opening the windows and by replacing thick curtains with the ones that are made from lighter materials.

2.    Bring in some ornamental plants

Lush green and colorful flowering plants are great mood enhancers. So why not bring those lovely plants indoor and enjoy some breath of fresh air right in your living room? You can use small indoor plants to accessorize your coffee table or medium sized plants to brighten up the corners of your home.

3.    Add a touch of happiness

Give your living room a fresh new look by using items in bright happy colors. Use different shades of orange, red or yellow to create an energetic and lively feeling inside your living room. Don’t forget to keep things organized and neat so you can keep your space looking fresh and spacious.

4.    Accentuate your sofa

Do you have sofa in dark colors? Give it a new look by changing its case or replacing its slipcover. You can also use a light throw blanket to accessorize your couch. Just make sure to get something that will work perfectly with the color of your throw pillows as well the shade of your rug.

If you’re thinking of purchasing a new sofa, streamlined living room furniture set works better in giving your room an airy look compared to those bulky couch and love seats.
