Spring is the time of year to redo your home and make everything fresh and new. Not everyone enjoys spring cleaning, but most enjoy the results. If you don’t want to do all the cleaning but want to focus on decoration instead, hire a professional carpet cleaning to clean your carpets, so they are fresh and your entire home looks and smells fresh and clean. Here are there ways to prepare your home for spring.
Clean Everything
The first thing you should do is clean each room from top to bottom. Your home has been stuffy all winter long, and it’s time to move some things around so you can wipe down surfaces and clean every corner. Focus on one room at a time and take everything out. Let a professional carpet cleaner come in and remove stains and dirt from the carpets. Move all your furniture back one the carpet is dry and allow the professional carpet cleaner to move to the next room. Keep this going until every room in your home is fresh and clean. Them, you can add some other details.
Pastels
Choose light, pastel colors to paint and decorate for spring. If you are painting your walls, consider a light shade of yellow, green, purple, pink or blue or give them a fresh coat of white paint to freshen the room. The pastel paint will lighten of the room and bring a spring feeling into it. You can also choose pastel decorations such as rugs, wall art, and shelf decorations. Consider using rugs that highlight the paint color, and include other pastel colors as well. Choose wall decorations that are a darker color than the walls, but offer lighter accents. This will prevent you from decorating the room in the same colors and creating a washed out effect. Choose pastel curtains and linens for living areas and bedrooms. Curtains are often a focal point of a room, adding a fresh pastel color will allow more sunlight in through the window and keep with the spring theme.
Focal Points
Every room needs a focal point. The focal point of a room is the first thing you see when you enter the room or home. It should be large enough to grab the viewers’ attention and prepare them for the theme of the room. For example, if you have chosen to decorate your bedroom in butterflies, you may want to make your focal point a large butterfly painting or print. The focal point should be near the center or largest part of the room. If the room is a soft, pastel pink color, choose a focal point in a bright pink or another pastel shade such as blue or purple. This will prevent one color from overwhelming the room and make the room seem more organized and larger. Keep in mind that clean carpets will help all your décor and focal points stand out better.
