Spring Decoration: Bring Sunshine In

Filed under: Kitchen, Bedroom, Your Home, Living Room

Christiane Lemieux knows all about brightening things up: She's the founder and creative director of cheery-chic decor brand DwellStudio (and yes, a cheery-chic gal herself).

Spring is finally here after an absolutely frigid winter. I am using some much-needed color therapy to bring warmth indoors. Since textiles are my first love, I love to layer in bright, punchy fabrics to banish the memories of a cold weather instantly. Here are a few tips for using color to change the season inside your home!

Check out some of Christiane's favorites:
Mandala Wood Placemat, $10, Target.
Diamond Ikat Citrine Pillow, $58, DwellStudio.
Diptyque candle in Jasmin, $28-$60, Diptyque.
Suzanni 7-piece KitchenTextile Set, $20, Target.

And now check out her tips!

Warm Up the Kitchen: I love our new kitchen accessories for Target because they are so bright and cheerful -- perfect to bring some sunshine and warmth into the hearth of the home.

Dress The Table: Dressing a table is similar to decorating a bed. I like to play with patterns, mixing-and-matching prints, layering in different designs and incorporating texture to add flair and personality to my gatherings.

Turn the Bedroom into an Isle of Paradise: I'm a lover of our fine-feathered friends. What better way to give your bedroom life and color than with these bright, lovely creatures?

Trick Your Senses: This time of year, I buy candles that remind me of swaying palm trees and hot sand or cool ocean breezes...who needs a plane ticket when you can have these?

Add a Pop of Color: A patterned side chair paired with a neutral sofa is great way to add a pop of color and design statement to a room.

Brighten from the Ground Up: Adding a colorful rug as a base breathes new life into any room.

Toss in Vibrant Colors: Layer an extra throw and some bright pillows onto your favorite sofa or armchair to turn it into a colorful escape from the cold.

Go ahead and turn your interiors into your own mini-island paradise!

Happy Spring!
