Designer’s Tricks: Freshen Your Home Decor for Spring


Spring has sprung. To your pleasure or pain, the flowers are in bloom. And even if you need Claritin to get through your day without a stuffy nose, you’ve got to admit the longer daylight hours and splashes of color everywhere in nature lift your spirits. Why not extend this feeling of new life to your home decor? We at Curly’s Furniture have picked up a few designers’ tricks over the years to keep your home’s look fresh.

Go with Bright Colors

Now might be the time to switch out the warm and deep colors that reassure in winter for something bright and cheery to wake up your room. Accent accessories such as wall art are a quick and economical way to do so. Why not incorporate different accent pillows for your living room or bedroom?

Shop Your Own Home

What? We’re not suggesting you buy new furniture? While we love seeing you and helping you re-vision your room with purchases, one shortcut to shake things up for spring is simply to rearrange the home furniture you’ve got. For example, try something dramatic like moving the living room sofa to the opposite wall. You know that upholstered bench that’s become a place to pile your junk in the foyer? Try placing it at the foot of your bed so you have a comfy spot to put on your shoes as the sun rises for another glorious spring day.

Rotate Your Displays

Along with placement of fresh-cut flowers in a vase to liven a room for the change to spring, the top of your accent cabinet is also a perfect staging area for seasonal displays. Store your out-of-season mementos on the shelves below. Now wasn’t that easy?

And when you need home furniture to usher in spring, our Streator, IL store is always prepared, from gleaming white accent consoles to other seasonal accoutrements. And for your own sake, get out and enjoy the glorious weather!
