A New Spring Look for a Modern Home

A fresh neutral color palette and more structured furniture arrangement plays-up the modern look of this house. Tucking a folded bedspread into the center of a green sofa from another room creates an effective accent while neutral touches throughout plus large plants soften the entire space for spring.

Design Tips:

• Even when shopping for a particular season, always keep an eye out for variations of the same type of item that can be used at other times of the year. Vases are a good example so keep a collection in a cupboard for every occasion.

• Choose firm floor pillows that are strong to sit on and can be stacked. Two make a nice ottoman and three form a great side table to hold a large accessory such as a glass bowl.

• Rework what you already have by switching lampshades around for a new look.

• Soften the straight lines of a room by bringing the great outdoors inside in the form of large potted plants.
