Getting Ready For Spring: Decorating
Spring is a time of renewal, which means it’s a great time to breathe new life into the decor of your home. Thankfully, there’s an easy and fun way to accomplish this: with fabric! Here are three creative ways to decorate your home for spring with the use of fabric.
Revamp a Fabric Lampshade
If you absolutely love a lamp base in your home, there’s no need to get rid of it just because the pattern on the shade is out of date. Instead, consider recovering the shade with new fabric. A drum shade opens up more options for fabric types, but there are still substantial selections for other shades as well. It doesn’t matter whether you go with a solid color, or a fresh new pattern, this is a great way to spruce up your living space.
Make Custom Pillows & Throws
You can never have too many accent pillows. Well, maybe you can, but having multiple pillows on hand for rotation through the seasons is always a good thing. The nice thing is that accent pillows are easy enough to make on your own if the store doesn’t carry what you want. Most fabric stores carry pillow forms as well as fabric, which makes your shopping experience easier.
To compliment things such as accent pillows and bedding, consider making a throw. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant, so do whatever you feel comfortable with. The easiest way to make a throw is by using one large piece of fabric in the center and surrounding it with large blocks of contrasting patterns.

Design Fabric Panels
Fabric panels are such a nice way to dress up a space. They’re easy to make and can either be hung up or simply propped up against the wall. Fabric panels make a beautiful focal point in a living room and can even double as a headboard. To make them, take some spring-themed fabric and pull it taut over a few artists’ canvases. Consider making additional fabric panels that you can swap out as the seasons change.
