Think Ahead to Spring

It is not easy to consider when you see snow falling from the sky, but the winter is a great time to start thinking about your spring decor.

When you're feeling a touch of cabin fever, start looking around your rooms and see what you'd like to change. If you're organized about it, you can change the look and feel of your various rooms in your home without spending an arm and a leg to do it.

First of all get a pad and paper and note down your rooms that you'd like to change. Then sit down in each room note the overall look of the room. Write down if it is cozy or feels too small or needs more color.

Then look around and see if you need to add a shelving unit, cabinet, a corner table and make sure you're making the best use of your space. Small kitchens can be expanded just by adding a hanging pot rack and freeing up valuable cabinet space to hold items that would otherwise be cluttering up shelves. You can add a cozy feel by adding darker colors to your room and by the same line of thinking, open up a smallish feeling room by using lighter colors as well as mirrors to bring more light into the room.

If you have the beginnings of a country theme in a room, continue it by adding a few country accents such as a throw with soft country colors or a chest that can double as a table base as well as hold items for later use.

When your list is complete, make a realistic budget for each room and you can plan to do each room about a month apart. Your results will be a fully updated interior decor by summer without spending all your hard earned money!
