Simple, cost-free checklist of 31 things to get rid of from your life and house in March. Declutter one item every day this month, taking it one step at a time. You'll organize your belongings and appreciate living in a more organized space. Choose your preferred method of accomplishing tasks utilizing each black-and-white decluttering checklist for the month. Either declutter everything in one day during a blitz session or take your time and tackle it one item at a time on the suggested day from the checklist. It truly depends on how much free time you have and how you want to work (as usual!). Let's begin the March decluttering (the first for Spring) without further ado. 31 WAYS TO ORGANIZE YOUR HOME IN MARCH 1. Evening wear that you don't need or won't wear again. As ladies frequently attend evening events with the same group of people, it is best to wear a different outfit each time, ask yourself how many dressy events you attend and whether you will ever wear the same thing again. 2. Your phone may have time-wasting apps. I recently deleted several of the mobile apps that seemed to let me waste hours of the day when I allowed myself to become sidetracked. The temptation follows them if they aren't present. 3. Spend an hour fixing anything that needs to be fixed (DIY or clothes). 4. Digital books (Kindle) you've read but no longer want. It doesn't matter if the clutter is digital or tangible; it may still drag you down. 5. Extra furniture (clean the space a bit and give everything a chance to breathe! 6. Shopping catalogs. Today, it's incredibly simple to look up everything you need online. You'll always have the most recent catalog online, which makes shopping simpler. You'll also see any sales, any out-of-stock goods, and any additions. 7. Any earrings without a matching pendant 8. Expiring vitamins 9. Outdated coats that you never wear. 10 Children's video games that are no longer appropriate. Ask your pals or the staff at a games shop to trade them. Why not think about searching in your local library in the future as well? Some libraries will have games available for rent, which may be a fantastic way to see if you like a game and to get more for your money without being bored. 11. Freeze anything that has passed its prime. Contrary to popular perception, if something is frozen, it won't stay that way forever. It will still decay, but more slowly. To make future occurrences of this less likely, get in the habit of rotating the contents of your freezer. 12. Numbers in your Phones PhoneBook - Remove any numbers you no longer use from your mobile device. 13. Just retain the very special pieces of children's artwork (take photos or scan them instead so you still have copies but less bulk). 14. Outdated periodicals. Why not choose an online magazine subscription service like Readly rather than buying actual magazines? This brilliantly reduces clutter. 15. Clothing categories that you no longer wear, such as work clothes if you work from home or are a stay-at-home mother, maternity clothes if you already have a family, etc. 16. Your bathroom scales are really not necessary in your life. 17. Gloves without a companion 18. Anything on your nightstand that is unnecessary is item number. Take a close look, and only keep what *really* needs to be there. We frequently grow blind to what is there in front of us. 19. Antique bicycles, scooters, tricycles, etc. 20. If you have any ironing that needs to be done, take 15 minutes to do it. 21. Winter attire you didn't wear or that is out-of-date 22. Everything that shouldn't be in the front-view mirror or visors of the automobile (if you try, you can get quite a bit in there!) 23. Cleaning tasks on your to-do list that someone else could complete (delegate) 24. Out-of-date treats or pet food 25. Hats you never wear. 26. Choose a new color to paint any rooms you have since redecorated. I'm constantly shocked to see the paint from years ago hidden in the paint cans in my garage! 27. Scarves that you don't wear 28. Memberships or subscriptions you never use 29. Outdated computers (take care to destroy the hard drive first) 30. Damaged CDs or DVDs 31. Plug-in air fresheners that have long since lost their aroma You now have a list of 31 things to get rid of in March from your house and life, along with a free checklist to help you remain on track. The greatest approach to stay on schedule for the entire month and accomplish something every day. I sincerely hope you enjoy using this list, successfully purge a lot of items in March, and join me for April's checklist the following month (and if you absolutely cannot wait until then, keep in mind that the complete list is spelled down HERE).

The flavors used in this gorgeous Easter cake are Simnel-inspired. Icing is more straightforward than it appears. If you're going to be baking a lot over the Easter weekend, try our spectacular Easter cake, which is decorated with little eggs and has a flavor similar to a Simnel cake but with raisins that have been pureed and mixed into the dough. If you enjoy the flavor of raisins but dislike the texture of dried fruit, this dish is for you. Also, you don't need to be concerned about the fruit sinking during baking. But, you can add a few extra raisins to the basic buttercream between each layer if you do want a more fruity feel. To achieve a comparable flavor, we decided to use almond extract in the buttercream instead of the typical marzipan top. If you don't like it, you can substitute vanilla extract. Don't be intimidated by the icing's complexity; we designed this cake with inexperienced decorators in mind. Just pipe tiny blobs, then press them down with the back of a teaspoon. A birthday cake with this style of design would also look lovely. Make sure your buttercream is smooth and workable for piping. If it starts to solidify, whisk in a few drops of hot water to slightly soften it. A cake turntable, an icing scraper, or a sizable palette knife come in handy for giving the top and sides of the cake a smooth, polished finish. The pattern will conceal the sides, but a level foundation makes it uniform and aesthetically beautiful. It takes quite a deal of time to make this cake by hand. Making the sponges up a day in advance will lighten the workload. The cake can then be iced the day it will be served. Yields:30 serving(s) Prep Time:1 hr 30 mins Cook Time:1 hr 30 mins Total Time:3 hrs Cal/Serv:788 INGREDIENTS: oil, to grease 200 g (7oz) raisins 550 g (1 ¼lb) unsalted butter, softened 750 g light brown soft sugar 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 1 tbsp. mixed spice finely grated zest 1 orange, plus 1tbsp juice finely grated zest 1 lemon, plus 1tbsp juice 12 medium eggs 850 g plain flour, sifted 2 tbsp. baking powder FOR THE BUTTERCREAM: 825 g unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 icing sugar, sifted, plus extra to dust 1 tbsp. almond extract 3-5tbsp milk yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink food color paste/gels mini chocolate eggs DIRECTION: STEP 1: Set the oven to mark 4 at 180°C (160°C fan). Two 20.5cm (8in) round, loose-bottom cake pans with a depth of about 9cm (312 in) each should be lightly greased. Baking parchment should be 4 cm (112 in) or more tall than the sides of the baking tins when lining the bases and sides. Wrap a strip of newspaper seven layers thick around the exterior of the tins, tie it in place using string, and then trim it to the same height as the parchment. STEP 2: To prepare cakes, heat 175ml (6 fl oz) of water and raisins in a small saucepan. Set aside. Using a handheld electric whisk, beat the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, mixed spices, and citrus zests in a sizable mixing basin for about five minutes, or until they are light and frothy. One at a time beat in the eggs. If the mixture starts to curdle, beat in a little flour. STEP 3: In a food processor, puree the raisin mixture into a smooth paste. Combine butter mixture with flour, baking powder, raisin mixture, and citrus juices. Smooth the tops after dividing them among the prepared pans. For cakes that are risen, springy to the touch, and have a skewer inserted in the center that comes out clean, bake for 1 hour 25 to 1 hour 30 minutes. In tins, cool completely while being protected by a fresh tea towel. STEP 4: Make buttercream in two batches if your basin isn't big enough. Butter should be softened in a very large mixing bowl using a handheld electric whisk. Half of the icing sugar should be added. Begin slowly beating to mix. Add the remaining icing sugar and almond extract, and beat for about 3 minutes (slowly at first). Add just enough milk to the mixture to achieve a thick yet spreadable consistency. STEP 5: Put 1.1 kilograms (212 lbs) of buttercream into another bowl and leave it there. Evenly distribute the remaining icing among the five bowls (weigh for optimal results; each should be roughly 250g/9oz). These five icings should each be food gel-dyed to the desired hue before being spooned into five different disposable piping bags. STEP 6: Cakes should be taken out of tins, baked parchment peeled off, and both cakes should be cut in half horizontally using a sharp knife. Put a little amount of the reserved basic buttercream onto a dish or cake stand. Put the sliced cakes back together on a stand or plate using more basic icing, making sure the top layer is the cake foundation, cut side down (this will ensure the top of the cake is smooth and flat). Spread a thick layer of the leftover simple buttercream on the cake's top and a thin layer on the sides. Rest for 20 minutes. STEP 7: Cut each piping bag's end 1 cm (12 in) short. Starting at the top and repeating the colors in the following order: yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink, pipe a vertical line of seven dots on the side of the cake, each measuring about 2 cm (34 in) broad and 2 cm (34 in) deep. Spread half of each icing dot on the cake in a horizontal line that is about 5 cm (2 in) long, using a different teaspoon for each color. Pipe a second row of vertical dots onto the icing that has become smeared, beginning at the top once more with the subsequent color in the repeated series (eg, green). Repeat the technique, beginning with the third color (blue), and smear as previously. The pattern will emerge soon enough! Pipe and spread until the cake is completely coated. Make the back of the cake the small space that will exist where the last row of dots meets your first line of icing. STEP 8: Slice the cake and garnish with small chocolate eggs. GH TIPS: GET STARTED Plan your final step up to a day in advance. Remove from tins once cool, tightly cover with clingfilm, and store at room temperature. To serve, complete the recipe. To keep The finished cake will last up to two days at room temperature in an airtight container (or loosely wrapped in foil).

For a decadent Easter morning, savor this luscious hot cross bun bread with friends and family. A loaf of bread with all the flavors of a hot cross bun inspired by Easter! Excellent as an alternative to the traditional hot cross bun throughout the Easter season for hungry guests at breakfast or lunch. The following guidelines should be kept in mind when preparing bread; Any recipe should include how long the bread should be kneaded. This activates the gluten, which is crucial for forming the bread's internal network. The mesh formation is where the pockets of gas produced by the yeast sit, causing the loaf to rise and providing you with a light and fluffy loaf of bread as a result. As yeast needs warmth to flourish, it's crucial to let the dough rise in a warm environment. Contrarily, since yeast is killed by intense heat, it is crucial to let your milk and butter mixture cool to barely warm before using. This recipe's third stage, known as "knocking back the dough," removes any large air bubbles that may have formed during the first rise, resulting in bread with a more uniform texture. We have tried and tested the best freestanding mixers if you're on a budget and want to get one to handle the labor-intensive task for you. As an alternative, many individuals feel that kneading bread by hand is incredibly therapeutic. Try it out first and see how it goes! We offer a recipe for traditional hot cross buns if that's what you want. These lemon drizzle hot cross buns are our newest hot cross bun recipe for Easter. Yields:12 serving(s) Prep Time:25 mins Cook Time:40 mins Total Time:1 hr 5 mins Cal/Serv:294 INGREDIENTS 125 ml milk 50 g butter, plus extra to grease 500 g strong white flour, plus extra to dust 50 g caster sugar 7 g sachet of fast-action yeast 1 tbsp. mixed spice 1 medium egg, beaten 250 g jumbo raisins and cranberries, see GH Tips FOR THE CROSSES 3 tbsp. plain flour METHOD: STEP 1: Milk and 125ml (4 oz) water should be heated in a small pan until little bubbles start to form around the inside edge of the pan. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter with the mixture. Place aside to cool until only slightly warm. STEP 2: Mix the flour, sugar, yeast, spice, and 1/2 tsp. of fine salt in a large basin using a wooden spoon or in a standalone mixer equipped with a dough hook. To create a soft but not sticky dough, stir in the milk mixture and egg. The dough should be smooth and elastic after 5 minutes of machine kneading (or 10 minutes of hand kneading on a lightly dusted work area). STEP 3: Using your hands, put the dough back into the big bowl. Bowl should be covered with greased cling film and left to rise for an hour, or until it has doubled in size, in a warm location. STEP 4: Oil a 900-gram (2-pound) loaf pan. Scoop the dough onto a work surface that has been lightly dusted with flour, and add the dried fruit. Create balls by dividing the mixture into 8 equal parts. Place in the tin's base, then cover with greased cling film. Allow the dough to rise in a warm location for 45 minutes to an hour, or until it is slightly above the tin's top. STEP 5: Set the oven to mark 6 at 200 °C (180 °C fan). Make the crosses right before baking by combining the flour with just enough ice water to create a smooth, thick, yet pipeable paste. Buns are crossed by a pipe. Bake for 30 minutes, then for 10 more minutes, cover with foil to prevent excessive browning. Carefully remove the loaf from the tin and tap the bottom; the loaf should sound hollow if it is baked. STEP 6: Take out of the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Butter is served with the slices. GH TIPS: From Sainsbury's, we obtained our large raisins and cranberries. Use a combination of sultanas and cranberries as an alternative. Roll the dough into 12 balls and bake as individual buns. On parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced apart, cover with oiled cling film, and let rise for 35 minutes. Continue baking for 20 to 25 minutes from step 5. PER SERVING: Calories: 294 Fibre: 3g Total carbs: 55g Sugars: 19g Total fat: 5g Saturated fat: 3g Protein: 19g ELEMENTS I LOVE: The combination of raisins and cranberries, adds sweetness and texture to the bread. The use of mixed spice, a blend of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, gives the bread a flavorful and aromatic profile. The instruction is to shape the dough into balls and arrange them in a loaf tin, which creates a visually appealing and fun tear-and-share loaf. The addition of crosses made from flour and water on top of the loaf, which is a traditional element of hot cross buns and adds a festive touch to the bread.

Inventive Easter egg hunt ideas can be hard to come up with. Making Easter cookies, receiving Easter presents, and participating in our own Easter egg hunts as kids are likely fond memories for many of us. Now we’re the ones making the clues and hiding the prizes, it’s a magical time watching the kids in our lives have so much fun. While it’s lovely seeing our little ones get into the spirit of Easter festivities, it can be hard to plan a hunt that will keep them interested and entertained for long enough. We talked to experts in the field of top-notch children's party planning to get their advice for the ideal Easter challenge in order to help you come up with all the best Easter egg hunt ideas. EASTER EGG HUNT IDEAS Here are all of their finest Easter egg hunt suggestions, from novel approaches to providing clues to suggestions for engaging games. EASTER EGG HUNT CLUES TRY A UV PEN. A thorough egg hunt with printed clues, your guidance of the kids as they move from one location to the next, and a cache of treats at the end is always a terrific adventure if you have the time. The founders of Sankey and George, a creative events company specializing in immersive experiences for both adults and children, Charlie Astor and George Whitefield, said that a fun touch is writing clues with a UV pen, making them only visible with a UV torch - adding a sense of mystery to it all. USE PICTURES AS WELL AS WORDS. It might be enjoyable to use hints for your Easter egg hunt, but make sure you are catering to your entire audience. Try utilizing visual cues instead of language if you have small children, pre-readers, or children with special needs for whom sentences may be difficult, advised Charlotte Melia, founder and MD of the specialized children's party company Dazzle and Fizz. CREATE A DISTINCTIVE EASTER EGG HUNT COLOR CODE YOUR EGGS. You can color-code the eggs according to their packaging when hiding them. For instance, only children of a certain age may receive a certain egg, or there is greater glory to be had by finding some extremely well-hidden eggs of a specific color, explained Charlie and George. MIX UP YOUR PRIZES. You might want to think about putting some non-edible prizes in your Easter egg hunt as well because there can be a lot of sugar consumed over the Easter weekend. Books, puzzles, and educational awards are excellent ideas as well as craft bundles, according to Charlotte. GET COMPETITIVE. You can participate in an egg relay race if you're very competitive. The next person cannot go until the person who ran to fetch the egg returns with one. Start your teams' loud yelling and bouncing around. George and Charlie had an idea. DECORATE BASKETS BEFORE. Creating your own Easter baskets is another enjoyable pastime that can raise excitement for the egg hunt. Paper, card, fabric, and felt are just a few of the materials you can use to create baskets. You could also purchase a pre-made basket and customize it yourself, said Charlotte. OR TRY YOUR HAND AT BONNET MAKING. Making Easter bonnets together as a family is a wonderful project to do before the egg hunt. Use self-adhesive foam forms to decorate your bonnets instead of messy glue, paint, and glitter, or go with woven bonnets that you can add bows, ribbons, and other embellishments to," Charlotte said. OTHER THINGS THINK FOR EASTER EGG HUNTING KEEP THINGS FAIR. "Typically, younger children are at a tiny disadvantage against slightly older youngsters who still like going on hunts. Divide everyone into equal teams of varied ages, and instruct each group to create a team "coop" space. They have to run back and place an egg in their team coop when they find one. "With victory for everybody, the teams' spoils are distributed equally," Charlie and George said. THINK SUSTAINABLY. "Avoid using little plastic toys that have a short shelf life and will certainly be thrown away fast if you do decide to include non-edible prizes in your quest. It is preferable to give a few high-quality gifts rather than many cheap ones, Charlotte said.

Nearly every day of the year, we'll have a salad. We see salad as the ideal blank canvas for our favorite products and other add-ins, whether it's an easy fall salad recipe like a delectable roasted squash panzanella or a BBQ salad perfect for a fast summer dinner idea. The first spring days at the farmers' market, which are the ideal foundation for preparing the freshest spring salad recipes, perfectly whet our appetites for crisp, raw vegetables. These recipes are stuffed with raw and barely cooked veggies, but they still manage to keep the best of the season's finest tender crunch and vibrant greens and pinks. Some of them even include oil-packed tuna, thinly sliced skirt steak, and other proteins to make your salad into a complete dinner. Not a huge fan of greens? Some of these are stuffed full of grains, legumes, and potatoes, which we revivify with a ton of herbs and citrus. A lot of these salads are fantastic for meal preparation, particularly if you prepare the proteins, dressings, and other ingredients ahead of time. Additionally, grains and heartier vegetables like broccolini and carrots will keep well in the refrigerator. So whether you're looking for a quick supper to prepare ahead of time or the ideal side dish for your family's spring dinner, these nutritious salads will help you get the much-needed vegetables as the days start to get warmer.

Mother's Day is a special occasion to show your love and appreciation for your mother. You'll find some great Mother's Day gift ideas here, whether you're looking for something to gift to your own Mother or something for your children to give to their Mother. Make her year a memorable experience this year... Mother's Day is definitely the day to recognize both how much you love your mother and the fact that she is, in fact, your mother. As a result, all of the Mother's Day gifts listed here are Mum or Mother-related; if you're looking for further gift ideas for women in general, this is the post to read. This article is split into two main sections, a shopping area for those looking for quick ideas and inspiration. You only need to click on the thing you are interested in finding out more about. Second, if you want to personalize the gift as much as you can for your own mother, take a look at the suggestions below. Let's get started right away with a list of wonderful gifts you should buy your mother right away (ideal if you don't want to have to do the research yourself because I did the legwork for you; just think of me as your personal gift fairy!). Themes to Think When Buying a Mother's Day Present When selecting Mother's Day gift, there are a few common themes that continue to appear. Let's examine each of these in turn to see if they can motivate your own gift-giving. 1. A KEEPSAKE FROM YOUNG CHILDREN Of course, a mother loves her children, so anything they produce, create, or are a part of would be the ideal Mother's Day gift. Great suggestions for these include: Jewelry that carries their fingerprints is a good choice. You can purchase prints of their original artwork to put on pillows and other items. This makeup bag is wonderful; it has their handwriting on it. A handcrafted card they made With your phone, record them singing, talking about their love for their mother, etc. a photo of the two of them 2. OLDER CHILDREN CAN DO IT In general, mothers are time-constrained and busy. Also, even if older kids want something, they may not have the funds to buy it for themselves. Making these two complement one another means that older children could give their mother the gift of time by helping them with a task. Here are a few possibilities: - a book of vouchers listing the things they've agreed to do, such make coffee, wash the car, do the dishes, etc. If they are old enough, offer to watch the younger children. Make a commitment to go to bed early one night so your mother can enjoy a girls' or a date- or movie-night, etc. Offer to run errands for a day TOP TIP - If you're working with a tight budget, you may create the book of vouchers yourself. 3. TIPS FOR ADULT CHILDERN Take some time to truly consider what your mother might like because as an adult, getting her something pleasant for Mother's Day means just as much to her. However, it need not be expensive at all. In reality, moms frequently want to spend time with their kids and/or unwind from the daily grind, so keep that in mind and you won't go astray! Take them to a day out, a cup of tea in the afternoon, or enroll you and your partner in a class to acquire a skill they enjoy (candle making, perfume making, flower arrangement, etc.). What activities may you engage in with your mother that she enjoys? If you're far away from her geographical wise - then spending time may be harder, but you can still create time together by getting on a video call and playing a game, having a weekly chat time set up etc. 4. A MOTHERS CELEBRATION It is not necessary to be fully unique to express your affection for your mother. You CAN find some wonderful gift suggestions that honor mothers and that resonate with you personally because they reflect the sentiment. Also, not all of them might be melancholy; you might uncover the ideal humorous one instead! Some suggestions for these kinds of gifts include: Clothing Mother's Day card art (t-shirts or sweatshirts with slogans work well) Something Customized For Your Mother Mug Candle Picture Frame 5. A FANTASTIC MOTHER'S DAY GIFT SUGGESTION WOULD BE ANYTHING THAT ACKNOWLEDGES HER ROLE AS A MOTHER while also adding a more individualized touch, such as your birth date, your initials, etc... Similar products are offered for this, including: - Candles Cards Jewelry Mug Artwork I sincerely hope that something on this list has motivated you to purchase a Mother's Day present for yourself (or to purchase gifts for your children to give to their Mother) this year. As a mother myself, I am aware that all of these are meaningful in their own unique ways and would be highly welcomed. Whichever you choose to celebrate, have a wonderful Mother's Day!

We are prepared to enjoy the arrival of warm weather with a home refresh as we bid farewell to the bleak winter months. Fortunately, testing out some spring decorating ideas isn't going to cost you a fortune. It's time for the enjoyable part: decorating, after you've cleared your space of clutter and finished your spring cleaning schedule. Fill your house with vibrant hues, lively patterns, organic textures, and breathable fabrics to embrace the season of renewal. You can begin modestly: Add vibrant throw pillows to your couch in the living room, a stunning spring centerpiece to your dining table made of fresh herbs, Campanula, or peonies, or a fresh coat of paint to your fireplace before you finish. Also, don't overlook the great surroundings. By using hanging plants or experimenting with a special vertical garden, you can draw attention to your outdoor space, even if it only has a tiny yard. Everything is up to you, particularly considering that these suggestions are inexpensive but don't sacrifice style. In this collection of spring decor ideas for just about every design style, you'll even notice a few Easter decorating tips and home design trends. This season, everything is open game, from time-honored stripes and florals to calming pastels and blue hues. We bet you'll discover a design concept for a springtime home makeover in this collection. Wallpapered Bookcase Think outside the box the next time you fall in love with a graphic wallpaper design. If you're not ready to commit to installing it on your walls, add it to the back of a bookshelf. It's just the thing you need to brighten up your room. Bold Stripes Stripes have a special way of bringing a room to life, especially during the spring months. Here, the green and white striped painted walls, paired with the woven accessories and nautical wall prints, give the space a coastal feel. Hang Plants Outdoors Give your outdoor area a warm-weather makeover by suspending plants from the ceiling. Bring in even more color and style with a few throw pillows and a patterned weather-resistant rug in arresting hues. Statement Lighting Taking a design risk in a small space can be worth the effort. The best place to start? Eye-catching lighting. Choose a fixture in an energizing color to give your powder room a trendy look. Citrus Wreath Wreaths aren't just for the holidays. Transform any bookcase into a conversation starter with the addition of an oversized wreath. Simply add a pretty bow and any faux citrus of choice to make it right for the season. Mantel Decor Mantel decorating is meant to be easy — and changed with the seasons. Here, potted plants and a collection of white vessels are all it takes to freshen this space up for spring. Slipcovered Sofa White slipcovered furniture never fails to uplift the room, especially since they act as the perfect foundation for the liveliest of throw pillows. And it doesn't hurt that you can easily toss your slipcovers in the wash when it's time to clean up any stains. It's that simple! Layers of Pattern Pattern play is always a great idea in a primary bedroom. Just a few throw pillows in an array of patterns can make a bed look more polished. Leafy Wall Art When in doubt, go for an over-the-top wall installation that embodies all that there is to love about spring. Designer Maryline Damour of Damour Drake teamed up with fiber artist Sienna Martz to dream up this unique 3D leaf installation. Bright Cushions Upgrade your built-in bench with comfy cushions in a vivid hue. Finish the room by layering in plants, throw pillows, and other small decorative pieces in seasonal shades. Indoor-Outdoor Living There's no better time to embrace the beauty of the outdoors than the spring season. Position your sofa — topped with vibrant pillows and throws — directly in front of your windows. All that's left to do is bask in the natural light. Pastel Curtain Kick off the spring season by turning an unused corner of your home into a charming coffee station. Amp up built-in shelves with a pastel-colored curtain that's fit to hide everything from mugs to appliances. Rattan Bar Cart If you've been longing to upgrade your nightstand, there's no reason not to take a design risk. Treat a rattan bar cart as a side table by dressing it up with books, a small decorative tray for jewelry, and a lively floral arrangement. Floral Centerpiece Gather your favorite flowers in shades of pink, red, and yellow and arrange them along your table runner for the perfect spring dinner setup. Decorative Wooden Frame A vintage wooden frame can easily become the perfect spot to display your favorite photos of the season — family hiking trips, botanical garden visits, and all. Vertical Garden If you're tight on outdoor space and need an unexpected way to showcase your potted plants, think vertically. Simply place a wooden pallet against a wall and deck it out with as many potted plants as you can fit. Hat Display Once the weather warms up, it's time to put your straw hats to use, right? Keep them within arm's reach by making your collection a part of your home's decor. Take a cue from Sabrina Tan of the fashion and lifestyle blog, and hang them from a copper pipe with clothesline rope and clothespins. Botanical Wallpaper Turn your bedroom into a cheery escape. Start by installing a botanical-inspired wallpaper along with bright curtains, and complete the look with a space-saving pendant light. Bundled Blooms Separate a bundle of colorful tulips into individual bud or vintage milk glass (shown here) vases for a striking display. Pops of Color Bring color to your bedroom by mixing in new throw pillows, blankets, vases, and catchall trays in a spring-appropriate hue. Garden-inspired Wallpaper Spring has sprung in your bathroom: Layer empty seed packets or floral-filled book pages along a blank wall to create a botanical statement. Acrylic Accents Like mirrors, clear furniture gives the illusion of a bigger space. Take a tiny breakfast nook, for example: Mix clear acrylic and light-colored accent chairs to achieve a lighter look and feel. Painted Brick Lighten up the hearth of your home with a few coats of cream or white paint. Give the same treatment to outdated wood paneling for a cleaner canvas. Bohemian Accent Rug Boho-inspired decor relies on colors, patterns and fun textures — all appropriate for the spring season. Think from the ground up with a multi-colored rug, accented with chairs in a coordinating shade. Bright Lights Lighten up your space with bold yellow light fixtures and add decorative accents in a similar hue (think: lemons and yellow tulips) to match. Coral Bedroom Accents For an easy, spring-ready fix, mix textured throws with patterned pillows for added depth and color. Rainbow Glassware Head to the antique store to find candy-colored stem glasses to put on display. Arrange them by color, height, or any other way that pleases the eye. Floral Walls Peel-and-stick wallpaper is a simple way to turn a blank wall into an Instagram-worthy accent piece. Consider it a chic upgrade to grandma's flower-covered walls. Pastel Hues Galore Replace dark, winter-appropriate accessories with Easter-ready pastels. While robin's egg blue, soft pink, and lemon yellow may scream spring, they're also appropriate for the warm-weather months. DIY Rope Mirror Mirrors have a way of opening up a space, making it look — and feel — larger than it really is. DIY this Anthropologie-inspired mirror and leave it up year-round. Floral Tablescape A floral centerpiece is stunning on its own, but it really shines when placed on top of a garden-inspired tablecloth. Plant-covered Shelves Update any blank wall by hanging shelves of a similar color and decorating with faux plants in color-coordinated planters. Sunny Dining Room Chairs While velvet is typically reserved for winter, these mustard-yellow chairs prove otherwise. Even if you prefer to keep things simple, let the chair cushions add a pop of color to your dining room. Open Shelves Proof that you don't have to sacrifice style for function. Organize each shelf or grouping of dishware by color for an eye-catching display. Contrasting Bedroom Decor To offset the dark wooden walls and bed frame, dress your bed with crisp white and blue bedding. Bold Table Setting Perfect for dinner gatherings and Easter celebrations, you can easily transform your dining space by sticking a statement-worthy runner in the middle of your table. Bright Yellow Accessories Yellow curtains, flowers, and decorative pieces, give any room the sunshine treatment. Woodsy Floral Arrangement Give a basic bouquet of flowers a farmhouse feel by placing them in a vase, made out of sticks and twine. Place it on a wood serving platter for extra impact. Colorful Kitchen Island Make a bold statement by painting the kitchen island a striking red hue. Complete it with neutral bar stools for a toned-down look. Seasonal Touches Incorporate everything that the season has to offer — bright colors and fresh greens — into your living space with patterned throw pillows and indoor plants. Fresh Greens and Florals Bring Mother Nature indoors by scattering plants and flowers — remember: fresh is best — around your kitchen. Just keep 'em near the sink, so you'll remember to water them. Functional Kitchen Centerpiece Keep your day-to-day essentials within reach by placing them in jars, bowls and vases on a large cutting board in the center of the kitchen island or table.
