Spring!! It’s Kind of Our Thing

After being hit with two big winter storms within the first seven days of March, we are really anxious to say goodbye to this winter. Spring cannot arrive quickly enough for many of us and even though you wouldn’t know it to look outside, the beautiful season of rebirth is less than two weeks away. When spring arrives in all its splendor and glory, many of us want to restore a fresh and breezy energy to our homes, as well. The rebirth going on outside inspires us to breathe new life into our decor, following the cues of the newly arrived, long-awaited season. Here are a few ideas to help you create that dynamic, refreshed style for your country farmhouse this Spring.

Update Your Bedding

Choosing a collection of lighter, brighter fabrics that are soft and simple, comfortable and casual is sure to perk up your current decor. New bedding and window treatments can add an invigorating change to the dark, heavier fabrics characteristic of winter décor. When Spring arrives with longer days and milder temperatures, our first inclination is to get outside and bask in the beautiful sunshine. All of our research indicates that spending time out in the natural world is the wisest choice you can make. Sunshine and fresh air make us all happier, healthier people. Bringing that invigorated, replenished feeling into our home environment is a great idea for our own well-being. Reviving our interiors with an updated springtime look is guaranteed to make us happier, too! Brighten up with cozy, relaxed fabrics that revitalize your home with a welcome freshness and vibrancy.  Light and airy, these crisp, romantic pieces will flutter in the breeze of an open window, adding a calming, comfort, as well as a renewed excitement to our homes and our lives.

A wonderful selection for your springtime upgrade is our beautiful, warm, textured Ashley Collection with ruffles that add a lovely romantic touch.

Add the Ashley Natural Panels for an effortless, cohesive look.

Or choose our Silo Hill Collection, with its crisp, white drop cloth canvas for a revived, yet timeless home decor choice.

The crisp, horizontal lines of the Silo Hill Stripe Drape Panels complete your new bedroom look, pulling this updated classic style together perfectly. We have many new fabric selections that are exclusive to Piper Classics. You can find them all in our Piper Originals section.

  • Add Some Greenery 

In Springtime, when all of nature is bursting with color and life, it seems only natural to want to bring that greenery indoors. Studies show that plants, and nature itself, make us healthier. Plants bring an element to our decor that is difficult to define and tough to acquire in any other way. Even so, there are times when the real thing isn’t a practical or viable solution. Faux greens offer the beauty of living plants regardless if you are blessed with a green thumb or not. No watering or other upkeep necessary, these everlasting floral accents offer texture, warmth, and energy, bringing that green, springtime vibe to your home effortlessly.

Or maybe the fresh, vibrant Maidenhair Fern is more your style. See other choices for greenery and flowers in our Spring & Summer Flowers.

  • Liven up with Flowers 

Nothing truly says Spring like flowers and blossoming trees. From tulips to lilacs to Rhododendrons to Magnolias and beyond, there are an endless array of gorgeous blooming varieties. We all wait in anticipation for the first signs of these beautiful flowers. Even those who rarely see the glass as half full, cannot help but stop and stare at the unique magnificence of these natural wonders. Decorating with flowers adds elegance and grace to your home decor whatever your style may be.

It isn’t always practical to decorate with live plants or flowers, as we previously mentioned. We do have everlasting, lifelike varieties that will add that “natural” grace and charm to your home for years to come. Here are a few of our prettiest choices. The simple, understated beauty of our Tulip-Real Touch is extremely true-to-life and natural-looking. It is sure to add that just-picked look to your home.

Another pretty, lifelike option is our delicate faux Cherry Blossom Spray. Absolutely stunning in its realism, this beautiful branch adds gorgeous, multi-colored, double flowers to any area of your home that you wish to brighten.

These quick and easy changes are just a few ideas we have for updating and refreshing your home decor with a casual, beautiful springtime look. Spring!! It’s our thing!
