Winter may not be over yet, but why dwell on the cold outside, when you can get a jumpstart on spring inside your home.
While everyone talks about spring cleaning and redecorating, why should you wait until spring to start these indoor activities? Once spring arrives, it's time to be outside, enjoying the warmer weather, not limit yourself to indoor activities. We say, get a jump on spring cleaning, and decorating, and be ready to welcome the season change in with open arms.
First things first, if you haven't gotten rid of your holiday decorations, you're way behind schedule. Box them up and get them out of the house! This would also be a good time for a little tidying up around your home. Go over your spring cleaning list and complete as many of the tasks as you can at this time.
Next, it's time to decide how you are going to welcome spring. There are two ways to do this in your home - smells and sights. I recommend both.
What scents remind you of spring? It could be the fruit blossoms on the trees or blooming flowers. Maybe it's the scent of the sea breeze, as the beach once again becomes a tempting site. Whatever scent is the best for you, you can likely find a scented jar candle to bring that scent to life in your home. You may even want to purchase a variety of them, so you can change the scents to suit your whims. In this respect, you can have it all.
The reason scented jar candles are so great is that they can be moved from space to space in the home, easily. There's no dripping or spilling, they are perfectly self-contained candles, brimming with lovely smells. This means you can take that spring scent with you whether you are in the bedroom reading a book, in the living room thinking of the flowers you will be planting when the last cold moves out or in your breakfast nook enjoying a cup of tea. Another great thing about jar candles is that after the candle is gone, you will have a perfectly nice jar to use for other purposes. Once you burn through a few jar candles, you will have a beautiful set of matching jars that can be used for holding various odds and ends. You can even decorate them to make them personal.
Next come the sights of the room. This can work right along with those scented jar candles you just bought. It's time to put some springtime colors to work in the house. Take a note of the colors of your home, and what will go well with it. If you already have a theme that includes certain kinds of flowers, take note of those too. Also, look at the color of the jar candles you have purchased.
These colors, and complementary ones, are going to be the colors you want to use to accent your home for springtime. It could be in the form of arrangements of fake flowers (or real ones if you can find them), new throw pillows that add a little bit if brightness or maybe even a new tablecloth that has a spring look, to put on one of your tables.
If you want to combine the sights and scents, you can even keep your eyes open for a floral ring of fake flowers. These are usually available at craft stores and are literally a ring of fake flowers on a circular base, with an open center. If you measure the base of your scented jar candles, you can find one with an opening that your candle will fit snugly in, looking like it's surrounded by the same flowers that are giving off the scent, once it's lit.
