So in my last blog I jumped up on my soapbox, ranting about how to
declutter your home in this year’s Spring clean! You’ve had a few weeks to get
that done now, you’ve sold your goodies online, and you are now cashed up for
some redecorating! But.... what will make the biggest impression for the
smallest amount of cash, you ask...well, here’s my favs:
1. CUSHIONS!
Cushions are generally a fav of mine at the best of times, and this is no exception... this season the most popular colours are blue (any sort of blue you can find basically!), with yellows coming in second. Remember to mix and match your patterns and also add some great textures as well. Voilah! Totally new look for your lounge room!
2. TABLE RUNNER
A super simple
and cheap upgrade is definitely the table runner...you’ve done the cushions, so
now, match your dining space in with the new lounge look, by finding a table
runner to suit your colour choice for this season.
3. QUILT!
While this may be a slightly bigger expense, the impact is definitely worth it! Your new choice will change the whole look of your bedroom! But if the purse strings won’t stretch quite that far, look into changing the cushions and adding a matching runner along the bottom of the bed too!
4. WALL DECOR....
So you’ve got
that dowdy piece of artwork that you just haven’t been bothered to change, and
let’s face it, wasn’t it a hand me down from Great Aunty Sue (that’s if you can
see it for the film of dust)?? ITS GOT TO GO! And replace it with a mirror, canvas,
multi picture frame, or gorgeous clock....100 times better!! Just keep the
picture in the closet incase Great Aunty Sue decides to visit.
5. TEA TOWELS (I'm serious!)
Tea towels you
say? Well, I had my faded and stained ones hanging on the oven for all to
see...and when I swapped them over to something bright and funky in the new
season colours, I could almost feel the whole kitchen breathe a sigh of relief!
Remember to match them in with your new table runner!
Oh, but firstly, my theory hinges on the fact that you’ve got smart
and painted your house in fresh,
light neutrals (please tell me you have!),
which means every time the whim takes you, you can swap
all sorts of
accessories to introduce a totally new colour! But for those of you that
decided to go
bold with your colours and now find that nothing this season
matches them, your first task is to
spend a couple hundred bucks on paint and
get to work!!
So with that small issue cleared up, back to my favs...

Cushions are generally a fav of mine at the best of times, and this is no exception... this season the most popular colours are blue (any sort of blue you can find basically!), with yellows coming in second.
