Spring Bedroom Makeover

It's officially spring!  Even if it doesn't always feel like spring outside, I wanted to make it feel like it inside.  Today, I'll be focusing on my bedroom.  One of the easiest ways to transform the whole look and feel of your bedroom is to change your duvet cover, which is what this design is focused around.

First, let's take a look at what my bedroom has looked like since we moved into our apartment at the end of October.  I chose a relaxing, color scheme of mostly tan, seen in the duvet cover, nightstand, and wall art.  I punctuated it with a few dashes of chocolate brown in the curtains, pillows, and bedskirt.  The rug incorporates both of these colors.  The room felt warm and cozy on those cold winter nights. 


Before:  Fall/Winter look

To transform the space for spring and summer, I changed the duvet cover to one with a colorful leaf pattern.  The background color is still the same as the previous duvet, matching the art and rug.

I purchased a yard of clearance fabric, which happened to match perfectly, to make fun toss pillow covers (see last week's post).  Goodbye brown, hello color!

I swapped out the brown bedskirt for a white one.

Finally, I stole the curtains from my dining room (which I replaced with sheers in there) to lighten up the whole space.

After:  Spring/Summer look

Not a dramatic change, but a very affordable one that makes enough of a difference to brighten my mood on these rainy spring days.
