Did you know April is National Decorating Month?

If you’ve been looking for a reason to try a fresh color of paint or a way to rationalize knocking down an annoying wall, this is your month! While we’re always excited for big changes, we want to remind you small adjustments can have a sizable impact. If you’re not ready for a major renovation, why not start with a small refresh?

Here are a few quick and easy ideas for switching up your décor during this special month.

Add a stylish pew bench to your entryway

There’s something warm and welcoming about a pew bench just inside the front door. Toss in a pillow and add a throw. This on-trend look is also the perfect spot to put your shoes on before heading out for the day.

Invite spring into your home with faux flowers and greenery

Feel free to bring in real flowers if you desire, but faux flowers work just as well. They’re bright. They look real. No water is necessary to keep them beautiful.

Create a gallery wall with family photos

Gallery walls are in style right now, but who said they had to be created with paintings or prints? We believe family photos can be just as eye-catching, and there’s nothing sweeter than an entire wall dedicated to shared memories.

Use colorful chairs around the dining room table

If you’re open to trying something new around the dining room table, swap out your chairs for ones with richer colors. You can choose a timeless color, like black or gray, or you could elect to bring in the colors of the current season.

Set up your porch for warmer weather

Depending on where you live, warmer weather has either arrived or is on the way. If you haven’t already, now is the time to get your porch or patio ready to host a party.  

We’re loving wicker furniture with bright pillows and cushions this year.

Swap out your throw pillows

Changing throw pillows is a timeless tradition, so why should this month be any different? Try a new texture. Add new colors. Mix and match sizes. However you want to rearrange your pillows, there will be plenty of options to choose from.
