Someday soon it will feel like spring here in New England. I promise! These chilly temps have me longing for warmer days and blooming flowers. I love the feeling that spring evokes in all of us. That happy, giddy feeling. The feeling that you want to quit work and play outside all day. Most of all I love the bursts of color that surrounds us as the trees and flowers begin to bloom. Taking a cue from nature, I am ready to add some bursts of color inside too!
To get us ready, and in the spirit, we've got some "Spring-speration!". Easy ideas to effortlessly transition your home into spring.
You can start by updating a room with a new springy color. A gallon of paint is one of the least expensive ways to change your décor. If you don't want to change the entire room, try painting an accent wall or give your chairs a fresh coat of paint in a fun color. Update some chairs or throw pillows with new spring-inspired fabric and voila! You're ready for spring!
Fun prints and colorful accents make me happy. If you aren't sure it's for you or if your are a little afraid of commitment, there are tons of great removable wallpapers on the market now. Put some on the wall behind your bed as an accent. It's also fun to put it on the inside of a cabinet or bookcase. Change it when the seasons change, or when you grow tired of the look.
Bring spring indoor with pops of green and other spring-time colors and prints!
Update artwork to reflect the season. Colorful blooms and bird prints are among the most popular choices.
Bring in the blooms! Outside is bursting with fresh blooms, bring some pretty twigs inside too!
If you are feeling more adventurous, paint your stair risers in a fun design or rainbow of colors.
It's so fun and easy to update your home to reflect the seasons. Plus it gets you in the mood. Why live in the same old décor year round when you can easily mix things up?!

Renee was a pleasure to work with and has great vision. We were doing a total rehab of a recently purchased property and she was able to look at a gutted out '50s cottage and turn it into a beautiful mid-century modern home. She understood our budget and timeline and was good about narrowing all our options down to just a few choices. This expedited the process, made it less difficult and more enjoyable. Once the rehab is done, we look forward to working with her again and finish the rest of the rooms.
Renee at Mandeville Canyon Interior Design was simply wonderful to work with. She was able to understand what we were looking for in terms of color, function and design from the moment we first spoke. She's easy to work with, goes above and beyond and delivers an outstanding design.
I highly recommend Renee and Mandeville Canyon Interior Design. I don't think I will attempt to decorate another room in my house without the help of Renee!
Love working with Renee and Mandeville Canyon Interior Design ! I had the opportunity to collaborate on a large scale design project recently and the results were fantastic! Creative, resourceful and one of kind design ideas made this design opportunity with Renee "one of a kind" Have a large or small project? You won't be disappointed!!
Renee not only has an amazingly creative eye, she also directed a massive renovation for us this past year that included the challenges of operating during the pandemic. She put together a team that had an incredible work ethic and brought the project in on-time and on-budget. She's a great listener. When we threw ideas at her, she was never dismissive; quite the contrary, she made them better. Her patience, attention to detail combined with her whacky sense of humor meant we were all able to smile while producing a home that we love. A great talent and a great lady.
Rene is amazing! Great customer care and wonderful attention to detail.
