For a fresh start in 2008 go for bold and bright colors and graphic prints.
Spring is nature's explosion of vibrant colors, smells, and sounds; from the greening of the grass to the fresh smell of blooming flowers to the sound of birds happily chirping and the running water of melting snow.
If you're sick of the blah indoors, then take your cues from Mother Nature and add some striking touches to your home decorating scheme. Think shocking and bold and go color shopping. Pick up hot pink throw pillows, neon orange blankets or slip covers, bring in a splash of lime green.
Go graphic and print crazy and try to bring in pieces that literally zoom with movement. A large graphic piece in black and white or bright colors will enliven an entire room and draw attention away from bland old accessories.
Don't forget texture. Add a variety of textures to your decorating plan to further enhance the variety and interest of the space. Smooth and satiny, combined with fuzzy and soft, rounded out with ragged and rough give you more depth and visual interest and create a lively atmosphere.
The best way to add a noticeable fresh change to your home is to do something unexpected; think outside of the box to come up with a large change that will add interest and excitement.
