Welcome, spring! With the season comes the opportunity to refresh, renew and reinvigorate one’s interior and home décor.

Here are some top tips.

Use color “drenching” techniques. Color drenching is a design technique in which a space is drenched or oversaturated with color.

Rotate your décor. It is always a good idea to “mix it up” a bit.

Infuse bright colors such as yellow, green, blue and red.

Incorporate florals. Flowers are a wonderful way to introduce and welcome spring.

Bring in organic elements such as wood.
