Winter is finally coming to an end, and what better time for home renovations than the season of new beginnings? To help kickstart your rejuvenation, we’ve put together some of the best ideas on how to decorate your living room going into the warmer seasons.
Venetian Blinds
These are an excellent choice of sunshade in the living room, providing a warm and elegant solution to excessive brightness. Wooden variants are particularly appealing, rounding off the aesthetic in warm, wooden rooms by matching the furniture.
Brise Soleil
Much like our previous entry, this form of décor is perfect for eliminating the hassle of sunlight that obscures your view of screens and heats you up too much in summer – and it’s also very stylish.
Brise Soleil is a type of sun-breaker added to the outside of your home to reduce solar gain, provide shade, and improve the aesthetics of your home. They’re great for privacy and shelter from the sun, keeping your house cool without completely blocking out the sun. You can find plenty of great brise soleil designs online, such as at alusystems.uk/brise-soleil-solar-shading/.
Flowers
What better way to welcome the rejuvenation of nature than by bringing some of the outside inside? Flowers can add some much-needed calm and colour to your living room after the dreary winter months. Experiment with some floral colour theory to find the best match for your home.
Scents and Aromas
Don’t think décor starts and stops with the eyes. You can incorporate other senses into your renovations, and some springtime scents are one of the cheapest ways to freshen up a living room. Candles and diffusers get the job done, but our previous entry can also add some subtle touches on the olfactory front.
Imitation
Flowers aren’t the cheapest or easiest to maintain. This can put a lot of people off buying them for their spring renovations, but they’re not entirely necessary. Artificial flowers, floral patterns on cushions or throws, and even something as simple as natural colours will all help to evoke the same springtime sensations as the real things.
