10 Decorating Tips and Tricks For Spring
Doesn’t the spring-like weather make you want to change things up in your home? Freshen up? I always do and have rounded up a few great design tips and hints to give you some inspiration. I never get tired of reading decorating ideas and I don’t think you do either!
Layer Rugs
Instead of trying to find a rug that’s big enough for your space without blowing your budget, “Use an oversized jute rug for the foundation and layer with a smaller antique rug for pattern.” Natural materials like jute are fairly affordable and easy to find.
Update Your Hardware
Using hardware materials "with a subtle splash of color, sleek silver, or gold finish" can really make something old feel new again. Replacing details such as your drawer handles and cabinet knobs can make a huge difference.
Room Lighting
An overhead light should not be your only light source in a room. You need lamps for task lighting and dimmers for ambiance. Different sources, heights and brightness will yield a warm, flattering glow.
Gallery Wall
A good tip when positioning a gallery wall is to make sure the center of the whole arrangement is at the 60-inch mark. It is the same for art placement-the center of any painting should be at eye level, which means about 60 inches from the floor.

Move Your Furniture Around
This redecorating task will cost you nothing but a little elbow grease. If you feel like your home needs a makeover, first consider whether simply rearranging your furniture will do the trick. By placing pieces in new positions and maybe even in different rooms, you just might find that what you thought your home was missing was there all along.
Use a decanter for your dish and hand soap.
The presentation is just so much prettier.
