Whether it’s a cubicle, office, or room in your home, there’s no better time than spring to start brightening your space. You should feel inspired and rejuvenated by the places you inhabit –vibrant colors and pretty blooms chase away the doldrums even on rainy days.
It’s easier (and cheaper!) than you think…
1. Get it Together
You can’t expect to live well in any space without a little organization. Yeah, we know, organizing sounds like a bummer. But you can make it fun by using bright and lively organization tools, like these humorous Knock Knock file folders. Once everything has a spot, give your space a good scrubbing.. It’s important to feel like you’re starting from a fresh canvas. Then move to step 2.
2. Art from Anywhere
Adding artwork to your walls makes a big impact and if you’re creative, barely dents your bank account. Rummage through your favorite local second-hand store for vintage posters—you never know what you might find! You can also cut out images from your favorite calendar and pick up inexpensive frames from an arts and crafts store and voila! You’ve got fancy pictures on your walls, on a starving artist’s budget.
Looking for something a little more personal? Try having your favorite travel photos made into 8×10 or 11×14 prints (an 8×10 from Snapfish.com is just $2.99!). Then you have art, a memory, and a story waiting to be told…all on your wall!
3. Get Natural
Of course plants are easy on the eyes, but bringing nature into your space has many other benefits. Plants are shown to reduce stress, enhance attitudes, and improve air quality. Their continuous conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen will have you, and everyone around you, breathing easier.
