Despite the torrential downpours that have recently plagued Californians, the forecast is warming up! March 20th marked the end of the brutal winter (we hope) and ushered in the start of the spring season! With spring comes fresh flowers, fresh air, fresh colors, and––most importantly––fresh perspectives. Interior Motions wants to help you harness some of that freshness with spring decor that will make your space feel new, exciting, and ready for the spring season.
Out with the old and in with the new! Spring is a great opportunity to clear out or reorganize all of the clutter that is weighing you down so that you can make room for new energy to enter the space. While this may seem like a daunting task, you can tackle it bit-by-bit by making a checklist of what you would like to accomplish. From there, allot a certain amount of time per day to cross off the items on your list. Whether your checklist is just a couple items or a 10-page manifesto, breaking up the process into manageable chunks will improve your efficiency and your sanity. Lastly, it is important to keep sustainability in mind throughout your cleaning spree. Consider switching to green cleaning products, avoid single-use products, and recycle items properly. This will ensure that your space looks great without sacrificing the environment.
You do not have to demolish a wall or rearrange your furniture in order to alter the vibe of a room. Changes as small as adding a nice vase with fresh flowers to your office can make a huge difference in brightening up a space. Tulips, Hydrangeas, Carnations, and Blue Irises are a few of the many flowers in season right now that would make for jaw-dropping arrangements. If flowers aren't your thing, opt for spring decor with floral patterns instead!
Could upgrading your office be as easy as lighting a candle? The answer is yes! According to The Guardian, “Introducing a pleasant ambient fragrance is one of the most effective ways to enhance mood and wellbeing.” In other words, if you are not feeling excited or energized by your office, changing its smell is an easy and affordable remedy. Aromas like vanilla, lavender, and fresh linen are all great ways to evoke spring scents.
Want to add a pop of color without the commitment of paint on the walls? Incorporating colorful accessories that can be easily swapped in and out is the perfect temporary solution. If that sounds up your alley, check out the accessories from HAY. They have a wide selection of glassware, trinkets, and rugs that exude all things spring.
Hopefully, these tips help you create a space that can withstand June gloom and bring the freshness of the outdoors into your office. If you need any additional design help, our team would be happy to assist–– contact contact@interiormotions.com or by phone at 510-653-6100.
