5 ways to spruce up your interior

With the Spring cleaning behind you and Summer soon within reach why not turn your attention to some small ways to spruce up your interior.

1. Musical chairs - Rotate your collection of knick-knacks to change the look of your rooms. Dig those treasures out of the basement or back of the cupboard. Think outside of the box. Bowls and plates can be used as planters or hung on walls.

2. Flea market madness - Tis the season for flea markets. Anything and everything can be had at these events, and for cheap. Here's an idea, pick up a bunch of clothes with texture, a swede jacket, a velvet dress, a wool sweater. Wash them accordingly and then sew them into cushions for your sofa or bed.

3. Bring the outside in - If you don't have a yard, or are tired of getting eaten by bugs try bringing outside elements into your home. Zinc pots filled with impatience, geraniums or even pansies are a great effect in any room. Mini fountains are an inexpensive way to bring the outside in and improve your interiors feng shui energy. Garden furniture can be used to lighten and brighten any interior and often it is very comfortable.

4. It's all in the details - Opt for small changes like a quilt on your bed instead of the heavy bedspread or change out heavy curtains for light weight sheers. Sometimes just putting on a colorful tablecloth can be a refreshing change.

5. Color up your world - Perhaps it's time to inject some color into your interior. This can be done by painting a wall, changing a rug, artwork, or soft furnishings such as: curtains, bedspreads, table clothes and cushions. Wallpapers are back in fashion and can be a great way to spruce up a neutral room.
