Try These Six Foolproof & Affordable Ways To Add Color To Your Home This Season
The First Day Of Spring Is Today!
I love spring - it's full of hope, color and a sense of starting new. I've found myself excited watching tiny shoots of green pop up here and there in the yard over that last couple of weeks. Maybe it's because I'm seeing everything come back to life or perhaps I just really need some color after the last few months of brown and grey. Either way, I welcome it.
That said, what greater time than now to refresh your space with pops of color.
1. Paint
Paint is always a good idea. Whether it's a full room overhaul, an accent wall or piece of furniture paint is the easiest way to add a splash of color to you place.
2. Plants & Planters
Ok, so this is one of the easiest ways to add color to your home. Yep, you can also opt for faux plants if you have a black thumb. I also love scoring colorful planters to pop against the lush greens. How perfect is this orange and green combo.
3. Throw Pillows
Another quick and easy color pop is throw pillows! You can move them around on a whim and change them out with every season.
4. Removable Wallpaper
One of my personal faves, removable wallpaper. You can basically put it anywhere your little heart desires. Me? I love it on the fridge, as an accent wall, and pops of detail on shelves and unexpected spots.
5. Furniture
Colorful accent furniture is another fun way to add color without really committing. Even better if you paint it yourself.
6. Accent Decor
Mirrors technically aren't furniture, they're accessories so they get their own bullet point. Same with colorful art pieces and textured wall hangings.

Well, I finally did it!
After about a year of wanting to ditch my Ikea Mongstad floor length mirror in favor of something new I opted to give it a whole new life and the transformation it deserved.
Initially my plan was to cover it's dated white exterior with a fun and quirky wallpaper to liven up my boring entryway but as time went on I kept leaning towards texture and drama. Fringe kept popping in my head from time to time but I was honestly too chicken to take the plunge.
