    Bring Spring into Your Home

    Spring has sprung, finally! After months of cold winter – and our fair share of nor’easters – the change of seasons is quite literally a breath of fresh air. It’s time to shrug off winter and bring some springy lightness into your home!

    Making slight updates to your home each season is a great way to refresh your décor and thankfully these updates don’t have to be expensive or time consuming. Here are some simple tips to transition your home from winter to spring.

    Make your home bloom with flowers

    When you think about spring, the first thought usually is about flowers. While plants and succulents are a great year-round decorating idea, also fill your home with some seasonal flowers to add some fresh life into your home: in the entryway, bathroom, living room, by your bedside – the options are endless!

    Introduce spring-hued colors and patterns

    Use softer color and patterns to bring some cheer into your space. You can go bold with bright colors or opt for a subtler look with pastels. Floral patterns are especially trendy this year so include them in your decorating choices as well.

    Lighten your linens

    Now that the temperature is starting to warm, you don’t need the extra layers on your bed. Instead, opt for lighter materials and store any extra throw blankets for the colder months. You can also change the pillow cases, lampshades or curtains as well.

    Update your artwork

    Hanging new art is always a good way to breathe new life into your home, whether you purchase new artwork or simply rearrange your current pieces. If you have a gallery wall, keep the frames in place and swap the photos inside.

    Enjoy softer scents

    It’s time to pack away your warmer and heavier wintery candles and scents and bring out scents that are lighter, like citrus, lavender or light florals.

    Spring is a time for renewal so why not bring some of that refreshing magic into your home. However you decide to decorate your active adult Traditions of America home for spring, these simple tips will make your home feel bright and airy all season long.

    5 Quick Tips to Refresh Your Home Decor for Fall

    The comfiest season is here! A change in seasons is a great excuse to refresh your home’s décor so pile on the throw blankets and get ready to celebrate this season in style.

    Here are some quick and simple ways you can give your home a fall mini-makeover.

    Cozy up with Comfy Accessories

    You may start to spend more time indoors as the temperatures begin to drop. This is the perfect excuse to make your couches cozier and more welcoming by adding new throw blankets and pillows in warm, autumnal colors.

    Get Inspired by Nature

    Look around and get inspired by nature. Consider using twisted branches, seasonal flowers like mums, zinnias and pansies, pinecones or gourds to add woodsy touch to your home. But don’t feel locked into only using seasonal flowers; any flower that shows off the season’s color palette works.

    Add a Touch of Gold

    Use accents of gold to signal the coming holidays without going overboard with themed décor. From candlesticks, lamps and other hardware, gold is a great accent to carry you through the remaining holidays for this year.

    Candles in the Fall

    The nights are longer but that means the days are shorter. Celebrate the early transition with candles. Pick up some beautiful candleholders or lanterns to enhance the warm feeling of your home. If you love scented candles, they are perfect for filling your home with the smells of the season as well.

    Play with Layers

    Play with textures by layering your rugs and other materials in your home. Like how we layer our clothes, add a woven rug over wood floors to add more color, warmth and extra cushioning. You can also pair bold patterns with solid colors.

    These simple tips will help you transition your home from summer to fall and the remainder of the year in style.
