Refresh your home for spring with some simple DIY decor projects. Head to your local craft store and pick up some pastel-colored paper, paints, stencils, and other supplies to make decorative accents that breathe new life into your space. You can make tissue paper flowers, colorful paper streamers, or paint flower pots in bright springtime hues.
Summer calls for light and casual decor. Create beachy accents like shell- or starfish-shaped candles, glass jar luminarias, or wall art using items found on an ocean shore. Use natural fibers like raffia, twine, and woven placemats. Add a touch of the tropics with palm frond fans, bamboo blinds, or tropical leaf garlands. Keep things breezy and open.
In fall, warm up your home with touches of harvest gold, deep orange, and rustic red. Arrange gourds, mini pumpkins, and bundles of wheat or colorful leaves. Make decorative pillows using autumnal fabrics like burlap, plaid, or corduroy. Create a wreath from grapevines, leaves, and berries for your front door. Use cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and dried lavender to make a fragrant potpourri or scented candles.
For winter, incorporate evergreen branches, pine cones, berries, and natural elements. Create a centerpiece with candles nestled in a bed of cranberries, rosemary, and pine. Sew or glue felt, fleece, or flannel into decorative pillows, table runners, or wall hangings. Use a cinnamon-infused essential oil in an oil diffuser to make your home smell cozy. String popcorn, cranberries, and paper snowflakes for festive garlands.
Keeping your home refreshed for each new season will make the change in weather feel more exciting. With some simple DIY projects using natural and recycled materials, you can transition your decor and bring the feeling of the current season into your living space. Your friends and family are sure to appreciate your seasonal hospitality when they visit!
