☀️✨ Steal my simple decor hack to transform your space this spring

Spring is the perfect time to give your home a fresh new feel, but you don’t need a full remodel to make a big impact. My hack for the easiest ways to refresh a space?

👉 Swap out lighting fixtures and window treatments!

Here are some tips & ideas for the kind of lighting elements and window treatments you can use to bring in the vibe you want in your home this season -

✨ Lighting to Sets the Tone​ Because the right lighting doesn’t just brighten a room—it can create a whole new atmosphere. For example, to add a more sophisticated vibe, swap out basic overhead lights for a statement chandelier or a modern pendant light.

Looking for a warm, inviting feel? Wall sconces or soft-glow table lamps can make the space feel more intimate. And for a more sleek, contemporary look, choose recessed lighting or minimalist floor lamps for your space.

🪟 Window Treatments That Elevate​ Your windows play a major role in how a space feels. Sheer curtains can soften natural light and create an airy, romantic feel, while floor-to-ceiling drapes add elegance and make ceilings appear taller.

If you’re after a modern, clean-lined look, try woven wood shades or sleek roller blinds that instantly refresh the space with a simplistic and polished feel.

With just two simple swaps, your space can have a whole new feel! These simple updates can completely transform the look and feel of a room, making it brighter, cozier, or more elevated—whatever vibe you’re going for this season. So give it a try!
