You Only Need These 3 Things for a Spring Home Makeover

April 20, 2017

The weather is getting warmer in many parts of the country, and this is leading more and more homeowners to start adding things to their to-do list. If you’re one of the many people considering a spring home makeover, you’ll be excited to know that you only need to do three things: Give your walls a fresh coat of paint, add a new plant, and get some new window treatments.

Start the process by choosing a paint color

At Half Price Drapes, we suggest that you start off by choosing the right paint color. Gray was a very popular last year but this year we’re seeing more and more people choose hues like yellow, plum, purple, white, blue, and taupe. However, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is that you choose a color that you love.

Find window treatments that go well with your paint

First, if you wish you had more windows in the room you’ve just painted, considering adding a mirror across from your largest window. This will give the illusion of more light and more window overall. It can truly brighten up a room significantly. As you look for the right window coverings, sheer curtains are a great choice if you’re looking for an airy, spring-time feel. It’s common for people to choose sheers that just cover their windows, but we recommend hanging them from the ceiling and letting them pool on the ground. This helps your windows look longer. If you need more privacy than what’s allowed by sheer curtains, consider Roman shades. They give you total privacy yet can be opened up during sunny afternoons. At Half Price Drapes, we offer a wide range of options.

Choose a plant that’s easy to care for

Finally, bring a little bit of spring into your home by choosing a plant to use in the room. First, find out what plants work with the amount of sun your room gets. If it’s a bright, airy room then you’ll want one that needs tons of sun. If it only gets sun during a few hours of the day, then choose a plant that requires less sun. Are you excited about making changes to your home this spring?
