With spring upon us, I am putting away my winter home decorations and getting out the spring ones.  Since many of you may be doing the same, I thought some quick home decor tips might be in order:

  1. Change 10% of the items in a room to give it an updated seasonal look.  This can be something as simple as changing the color of your candles, replacing throw pillows or placemats, or swapping out a few of your accessories with more seasonal ones.
  2. Lift up your items to give them added height.  Put pillar candles on a simple tray or plate to group them and lift them up off of a surface.  Try using attractive books or shelves as a ground for smaller items.
  3. Keep items grouped in odd numbers.  Items grouped in odd numbers appear naturally more balanced, and more attractive to the human eye.  You may notice that many accessories are sold in groups of three or five.  Items that are sold as a pair are typically meant to be place on either side of a singular item, such as a pair of votive holders with a large hurricane.
