Spring Into Color: Your Complete Guide to Refreshing Your Space with Art
Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home. Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or a complete makeover, artwork is the easiest way to transform your space. Here's how to refresh your decor with spring-inspired pieces.
1. Start with a Color Palette
What to Consider:
- Look at your existing furniture and accent colors
- Spring doesn't have to mean pastels, consider jewel tones, neutrals, or bold brights
- Choose 2-3 colors that complement your space
How Artwork Helps: Artwork sets the tone for your entire room. One statement piece can anchor your color scheme and guide all other decor decisions.

2. Choose Your Statement Piece
Types of Spring Art to Consider:
- Landscape artworks (mountains, water, nature scenes)
- Abstract pieces (light, airy, energetic)
- Botanical prints (florals, greenery)
- Minimalist designs (clean lines, fresh vibes)
Pro Tip: Choose a piece that speaks to you emotionally. You'll be looking at it every day, so it should make you happy.
3. Find the Perfect Wall Space
Where to Hang:
- Living Room: Large statement piece above the sofa
- Bedroom: Calming artwork above the bed
- Entryway: Gallery wall for visual impact
- Dining Room: Conversation-starting centerpiece
Sizing Guide:
- Artwork should be 2/3-4/5 the width of the furniture it hangs above
- Hang art above 6-10" above the furniture its displayed over
- Space sets of artwork about 2-4" apart

4. Accessorize Around Your Artwork
Complementary Decor:
- Throw pillows that pick up colors from the art
- Area rugs that tie the room together
- Plants for added spring freshness
- Lighting to highlight your artwork
Budget-Friendly Refresh: You don't need to buy everything new. One quality artwork can elevate existing pieces you already own.
5. Create a Gallery Wall
Step-by-Step:
- Plan your layout on the floor first
- Use painter's tape to mark positions on your wall
- Mix artwork sizes or frames for visual interest
- Keep consistent spacing (2-4 inches between frames)
Mix & Match Ideas:
- Combine 1 large piece with 3-4 smaller pieces
- Match frames or go eclectic
- Include photography, prints, and embellished art
6. Lighting Makes All the Difference
Best Practices:
- Avoid direct sunlight (our artwork is UV resistant but overtime it can fade colors)
- Use picture lights or wall sconces to highlight pieces
- Natural light is ideal during the day
- Consider the time of day light hits your walls
Spring Lighting Tip: Open those curtains! Fresh, natural spring light makes artwork pop.
7. Refresh on a Budget
Money-Saving Tips:
- Start with ONE statement piece
- Buy prints instead of originals (still high-quality)
- Use what you already own and rearrange
8. Seasonal Swaps
Spring vs. Summer vs. Fall: You don't need permanent artwork. Consider rotating seasonal pieces or having a few options for different times of year.
Storage Tip: Keep off-season artwork in climate-controlled spaces.
