Rainy Weather and Interior Design
May 2nd 2008 10:40 am
For a large section of the country, the past few days (and the forecasted week ahead) looked pretty gloomy. Cool temperatures, very little sunshine, clouds and rain rain rain. There is nothing like gloomy weather to take the fun right out of Spring. There are measures you can take to keep the gloom outside and make your home decor cheery and, well…Spring-like.
I know I’ve written about Spring cleaning. If you haven’t already performed your yearly overhaul cleaning…now is a great time to do it. You are pretty much stuck inside anyway. So, clean if you haven’t already. Next, all you need to do is add some color and a bit of nature. Hang photographs of flowers or meadows around your home, or hang a delicate floral wall tapestry to lighten the mood. Color is more important than anything, so make sure to hang something with bright Spring colors. Light greens, yellows, oranges, reds and rich blues and purples will not only lighten your mood…they will create depth to your home decor. Everyone reacts to colors, whether on a conscious or subconscious level. Brighter colors are more intense, and they can really be uplifting. The trees outside are green, so why shouldn’t you have bright green accent pillows (if it works with your decor, that is)? Add a splash of color - I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
