Paint a single wall of a room in a favorable color – aqua blues or turquoise and spring greens are great this season. But decide the color according to the size of the room, small rooms look smaller with dark wall paint. Make this wall the attractive item in the room by hanging paintings and wall hangings on it and aligning furniture along it. Make sure the wall paint matches other objects and fabrics in the room.

Use color in fabrics, elements and furnishing etc to bring in that spring feeling. Spring is the right season to get creative with color. Add colorful elements such as glass bowls with colorful beads or arrange stained glass paintings on windows to let ‘colorful’ sunlight in. Add ornaments in larger serving pieces as centre pieces or window sill ornaments.
