Mingle's Top 10 Home Spring Bling Ideas!

Spring is in the air - open the windows and bring the outdoors in! Check out Mingle's top 10 ideas for making your home a fresh spring retreat this year:


10.) Bring on the the botanicals! Leafy colorful prints can become a focal point in a room. Adding these prints through throw pillows, wall art, or simple chair covers can add instant life to a space.



9.) Try unique floral arrangments. Combine bright colors or flowers with fruit to create an interesting piece.


8.) Display your everyday items such as cotton balls or doggie treats in elegant (but inexpensive!) glass containers. Showcase your baked goods on the table with a simple cake platter (even if they are just cookies)!



7.) Get rid of the winter clutter and find creative ways to organize your space. Displaying every day items in a fun way almost becomes an art piece! Don't forget to add fun color and textures.



6.) Let there be (candle) light! Hanging lanterns both outdoors and inside your home creates a romantic spring effect. The best part is these lanterns can be easily made at home for a low price!


5.) Aaaaahhhh the smell of spring - light scented oils help enhance the clean fresh air!

4.) Pack away the heavy winter curtains and let the sunshine stream through your windows. Adding simple sheers or light grass shades will help bring the sunny outdoors in.



3.) Colorful table settings bring a cheerful feeling to any dinner. Don't be afraid to mix bold colors and fun prints!



2.) Use white to create a crisp, clean feeling to your space. Think about reflective white mosaic tiles for a backsplash or even using white as the accent color through accessories, furniture and fabric.



1.) Wicker and grass pieces aren't only for your patio - bring them inside your home this spring! Light furniture, grass rugs and wicker baskets can easily make your home feel like a beach cottage!
