5 Ways I Change My Decor for the Season
I’m constantly re-arranging things in my house. Whether it’s moving furniture or swapping out curtains, I like to keep my decor feeling fresh. But, I don’t have a the budget to make frequent big changes. Plus, I would feel wasteful if I got new furniture every year.
How can you keep decor seasonal without breaking the bank (or the landfill)? Here are five things I change regularly:
1. Flowers
This is probably the easiest and most obvious. Fresh flowers always feel….well, fresh! Plus, if you buy your bouquets at a farmers’ market, you are guaranteed to get a seasonal look. Choose a neutral vessel like this Geelong vase from CB2 and you’re ready for anything.
2. Pillows
Another obvious choice is a quick pillow swap. I love the idea of reversible pillows like the happy zebra/tasteful blue combo above from Chloe and Olive. I actually keep several different sets of pillow covers and just change them out when I’m in the mood. Since pillow covers are pretty small, I can stash them in dark corner of my closet without sacrificing any useful storage space.
3. Coffee Table Books
I have a ton of books and I refuse to part with any of them. However, I also often forget I have them! To keep the books alive, I like pull out different books and rotate them as coffee table/shelf decor. It’s also good way to go seasonal – I pull out my summer grilling book in the warmer months for easy access (or my all time favorite The Perfect Scoop).
4. Artwork
I also have tons of art – from big canvas prints to framed photos to simple printed quotes. My big canvases stay up year-round, but it’s easy to swap the framed photos and quotes for seasonal options. I store the extras in a nice portfolio case so they stay neat and crease-free during the off season.
5. Home Fragrance
Don’t overlook this important of your home’s ambience! In the warm months, I love fresh lively citrus and fruit scents. Soy candles from Pacifica come in some particularly yummy flavors. In the fall and winter, I like to spice it up with vanilla, sandalwood and incense for a cozy warm feeling. Or, better yet, bake some pumpkin bread or cookies for really authentic ambience.
