Spring is a time of renewal, the season when days brighten, flowers bloom, spirits lift, and hope springs eternal. It’s also a time when home decorators get a particular type of spring fever that has them itching for a deep spring cleaning, and game for a spring fling to freshen up their home decor. Decorating for spring can be as simple as a vase of tulips on a windowsill, a pretty spring table setting, a new pastel wall color, or adding more green. Shake off your winter blues and check out these seasonal decor ideas that will help you celebrate the joys of spring.
