Add Spring Delight to Your Living Room Decor with Thrifty Crafts

Start Now While the Day is Young - Your Living Room ...

The living room is the meeting place of your home. If you have company or just spend time with your family, the living room is where you can spread out and relax.

You may be satisfied with the way your living room looks, so you don't want to make major changes. However, adding some handmade touches is a nice way to brighten things up when spring arrives.

Use Spring Flowers in Your Decor

Items that can spruce your spring decorating are spring flowers. Spring flowers are colorful and come in all different shapes. Use these flowers to brighten up your living room and bring a refreshing breath of air to your home. Chase away the winter blues with vibrant color mixtures.

There are many ways to display flowers. Find different containers to make up small bouquets with real or silk flowers. Tin cans, baby food jars, and olive jars are useful and they’re very pretty with a ribbon tied around them. In glass jars you can display flowers with bulbs and place them in different areas of the living room.

Candle Crafts and Bright Picture Frames Add to Your Living Room Decor   Floating candle dishes look homey with flower petals floating among the candles.   Decorate some picture frames with bright paper and frame a flower petal.

Or, take out the glass and make it a shadow box with a collage of flowers. Any kind of basket can be filled with spring flowers to make a small garden to set on a windowsill or table.

You may have a clear tall vase in your cabinet that you’re not using. Take this vase, fill with colorful beads or rocks and water, and then add an assortment of flowers. Place where the sun can shine through the water and reflect the colors.

Take a used wreath and remove the decorations. Arrange new spring flowers on the wreath, leaving a small area open at the top. Buy a wide piece of ribbon in a color that will match your room and the flowers.

Tie the ribbon loosely around the top with a bow above the wreath. Use the bow to hang it on the wall. You can also decorate the wreath and place it on a table or plate with a pillar candle in the middle. Use bright colors such as spring green, sunshine yellow, bright pink, or blue.

Candles and Fragrances

Candle groupings in pastel or bright spring colors can add new zest to your living room decor. Decorate your mantel or coffee table with different colors and sizes of candles. Glue ribbons or flowers on them to add variety to the grouping.

If you have a large multi-wick candle, use a ribbon to thread small flowers or beads in spring colors around it.

Does Your Living Room Smell Really Fresh?

Fragrance is another way to convey a spring decor theme in your living room. Buy new potpourri for your simmering pot, or lose leaves for an open bowl. Colorful dried potpourri will add colorful accents to match the other spring decorations in your living room.

This spring, be sure to brighten up your living room with crafts you have made by hand. Make your living room a comfortable, inviting place to spend time with friends and family. These personal touches will bring new style into your room.
