Home From Christina Donnelly, your About Home Editor If you're anything like me, this winter did a doozy on you—and your home. My apartment is currently buried under a mountain of winter coats, heavy blankets and boots, and so ready for a refresh. Luckily, updating your décor for the new season can be as easy as swapping out some home accents and accessories, many of which you can DIY! Read on for our Experts' genius ideas, tips and tricks! Fabrics & Textiles I'm not sure about you guys, but after this winter, I never want to see a heavy, thick blanket again. Swapping your winter bed linens and decorative fabrics for lighter, airier options is one of the easiest ways to transition between seasons. You can find affordable, spring bedding to give your bedroom a pop of color; give your living room a vintage vibe by putting a lighter colored slipcover on your sofa; or DIY new throw pillows in springy, colorful fabrics.
