A few years ago we planted some Iris bulbs in our front garden. Every year they’re one of the first plants to sprout. As you can see from the picture, ours are a lovely yellow and purple color. These colors go together beautifully and are a great example of coordinating spring colors. Want to integrate this into your decor? There are several simple (and economical) ways to accomplish this. You can take a photo of flowers with similar colors in your garden and frame it, add throw pillows or colorful shams, place your plates on colorful chargers, or buy flowers (real or faux) and display them in a glass vase. How will you use spring colors?

The Fluffy Fox
As you walk around my local zoo one of the last exhibits you encounter are the Arctic Foxes. They were sleep on this particular visit, but they’re still cute curled up as little fluff balls. This reminds me of those furry throw pillows you can find at big box stores. A classic color for these pillows is white, and they would look great on a couch or loveseat. You can also find these pillows in other colors, like purple, blue, or hot pink. These would be a great pop of color for any room. Once again, we see that inspiration can come from nature-especially if it’s fluffy and cute!
The Rhododendron
As I was admiring the front garden I decided to take a picture of our rhododendron. It was supposed to be a bright pink, but the first year it bloomed it was extremely pale in color. However, with every year that passes the flowers tend to get brighter. This was the first time this has happened with a rhododendron we’ve planted, but each plant is different. This type of picture would be a great poster or mural on an accent wall for someone who loves flowers or a cream and pink color scheme. This is also the type of photo I’d frame and put on a desk to remind me of the outdoors (especially if your workplace has few windows).
