Now that Spring is here - and the flowers are in bloom - why not take advantage of this in your decorating? The flowers in the Spring are some of the most colorful and pretty. Cut them from your garden or buy them in the store or nursery and display them in your home. They will add life and color!
Bring "Spring" inside by cutting branches and flowers and displaying them in different sized, clear vases - which are very popular this Spring! They make a great centerpiece, or display them on top of your furniture or mantel.
Create your own tablescape for spring by using colorful plates, glassware, placemats and napkins in decor appropriate for the time of year (or holiday, special occasion or the season of the year). Or use neutral colored plates, such as white or cream. You can add personality to your table with accessories, such as flowers, candles, napkins or napkin rings.
