Here in New York, we’re enjoying an unusually warm February. And while it’s freaking me out (climate change is real), it’s also making me antsy for spring weather to officially arrive. I can’t wait for warmer weather all the time, more sunshine, blooming plants, and a generally more cheerful vibe all around. Until that happens, I have to make due with things that only remind me of spring – like pretty home decor pieces that brighten up any space. Since we all know decor can be crazy expensive, it’s time to turn to some DIY projects.
Even if you weren’t planning on getting involved with some serious spring cleaning this year, you should consider getting a few things for your bedroom that make it a more cheerful, bright place to be in. Not only will it look good, but it will also put you in a better mood. There are more ways to decorate for spring than to just spend money and time on flowers (although that’s always a great idea too!). If you’re into crafting, you’ll love the below DIY projects that are easy enough for beginners, but interesting enough for DIY gurus. Brighten up your space and get into the right frame of mind with these tutorials. Why not start now?!
1. DIY Geometric Vase
There is probably no better way to brighten up your room than to add some plants, whether they are fake or real. Make sure to put them in a cute planter – this tutorials shows you how to paint an inexpensive one (or an old one) so it looks cool and modern.
2. DIY Pineapple Night Light
Pineapple decor basically screams “SUMMER,” so add a piece to your bedroom for a touch of something tropical and fun. A pineapple night light looks cute during the day, and is useful during the night.
