Get a Head Start on Spring
February 21, 2020
By the time we get to February every year, winter always feels like it’s here to stay. But, we promise spring is right around the corner! We put together a few ways to make your home feel like spring even if there’s still snow on the ground.
Play Up Your Home’s Natural Light
Shoreline townhomes feature high performance, low-E Pella Impervia® double pane windows. These beautiful windows already let in as much sunlight as possible, but an extra boost in the darkest winter months couldn’t hurt. Try styling your home with large mirrors or other reflective surfaces to help bounce around as much of the winter light as possible
Start Your Plants Indoors
If you’re looking to spruce up your patio or outdoor space this spring, it’s a great idea to start your plants indoors now. There are several reasons to start your spring plants indoors instead of buying full-size plants from the home and garden store, especially since stores often carry many more options as seeds rather than plants. Reading the seed packet is the easiest way to learn tips and tricks about your specific plant, but most seeds will need to be started 6-8 weeks before the last frost of the year.
Incorporate the Season into Your Décor
The arrival of spring is the perfect opportunity to switch up your home décor in fun and different ways. Incorporating playful prints like florals into your curtains, throw pillows or artwork is an easy way to bring spring inside without breaking the bank. Vibrant accent colors like greens and blues continue to brighten up your space even if the sun still goes down a little earlier than you’d like.
Whatever you choose, incorporating little bits of spring here and there will help chase away the last of the winter blues. At Shoreline, we understand the details make the difference. Contact us today to learn more.
