Add a Touch of Spring on Your Living Room Furniture Set

Warm breeze, sun shiny day, flowers blooming all around. There’s no doubt. Spring is officially, undeniably here. And if you are like me who loves spring like it’s the best thing that can happen the whole year, you would certainly also love to give your home an update to celebrate this wonderful season.

Let’s start with our favorite item in the living room. Our couch! While we can’t afford to change our modern living room furniture set every once in a while just so it can fit the overall vibe in our home, there are different ways to spruce it up. With just some twist, we can recreate the refreshing mood of spring right in our living room. Here’s how:

1.    Purchase slipcover in fun and happy colors

Getting rid of your black sofa may be impossible at the moment but with the help of slip covers, you can instantly turn things around in your living room. Shift from that dark cozy feeling to light and energetic mood by using slipcovers in yellow, light green or powder blue. You can even choose some printed slipcovers to cover your living room furniture to break the monotony around your common area. Whatever you do, just go for something that can instantly uplift your mood for that added flare.

2.    Change throw pillows and blankets

Add some playfulness in your living room by using unique shape and design for your throw pillows. If you’ve been using rectangular pillow, switch to round or heart shaped ones. Make things even more comfortable by changing the fabric of your pillow cases to something more huggable like cotton or linen. Do you love using throw blankets? Change it to lighter fabric with fun witty patterns. Just remember to only use up to three different prints around your house to avoid making it look too busy.

3.    Bring in some flowers

Bring the beauty of outdoors inside your living room by putting flowers on top of coffee tables or end tables. Buy some stylish vase and put fresh flowers from the market to add some feminine touch in your design. No need to get something fancy. Look for tutorials online and learn how to do basic arrangement for your flowers. The freshness of flowers can surely complement the designs around your living room furniture set and can help to lighten up the mood of your family and guests.
