If you're stuck for ideas on how to revamp your living room this spring, the experts from the new online furniture cover service, www.covermyfurniture.com, are here with their top ten tips on bringing the freshness of spring into your home.
| 1. | Cover Up - Do you have a dark, tired looking chair or sofa? Spring is the time to change them for lighter, brighter alternatives. |
| 2. | Lighten Up - Change your lamp shade and match your lighting to the season. |
| 3. | Rethink Rugs - Cosy, thick rugs look just right in winter. But when the temperature rises its time to roll them up and replace them for spring cotton alternatives in light, cool colours. |
| 4. | A Room With a View - If your furniture is centered in front of a fireplace, think about ways to rearrange the look for spring. Try and change the focal point to a view of a garden scene. |
| 5. | Create an Inviting Porch - Spring living often moves out to a porch or deck, but even if your home doesn't have these amenities, you can get the look and feel of a porch inside. Introduce a few garden chairs, accessories, and floral fabrics into a family room - you'll get the feel of the outdoors every time you sit back and relax. |
| 6. | Store Silks - Remove dusty silk flower arrangements from your rooms and store them away for a few months. Instead, bring in fresh green plants and flowering pots. |
| 7. | Re-Accessorize - It's time to rework your accessories and makeover your shelves. Clean off winter dust and replace heavy objects with a selection of lighter, brighter alternatives. Set up a collection of pitchers or glass, and include plants and picture frames as well. |
| 8. | Think Sheer - Sheer curtains and sheer tablecloths shout spring louder than any other element. Look for plain, embroidered or printed sheer designs to complement your interiors. |
| 9. | De-Clutter Now - Look for organising solutions for your home. Any spot that is overcrowded or unorganised can drain your energies. |
| 10. | Clean out the Fireplace - Now is the perfect time to sweep away the ashes of winter fires and start fresh. Fill your fireplace with an arrangement of candles, or an attractive folding screen covered with summer fabrics. |
