Home decor ideas that brighten up the gloomy days of spring

Decorating is always exciting for me, but I find that there's something special about spring that makes it even more of a thrill!  The rainy days of early spring let me know that soon the grass will be green and the buds will once again bloom. This is a signal for me to brighten things up inside my home with color through flowers and simple decor that isn't expensive.  It's also a chance to relieve some of the clutter that has accumulated over the winter months and to reorganize things for a fresh new start.

STEPS YOU SHOULD TAKE WHEN UPDATING A ROOM

Without spending too much money, a great way to brighten up a room for spring is with decorative throw pillows.  You can really cater to your color palette as to what you're feeling at that time.  I use pillows that have zippers instead of ones that are sewn shut.  The reason I do this is that pillow covers take up less storage space, and I like to change my pillows each season so it's just easier for me to zip off one cover and swap it for another.
