If you’re like me, then you might get bored with your home décor
by the time a new season begins. There
are economical ways to freshen your home and keep things interesting for
yourself each season. As much as I like the idea of being a minimalist, I still
get bored on occasion, so I enjoy having different linens, curtains, and home décor
accents in my stash. Curtains, when
folded, will fit nicely into a linen closet and won’t take up much room. If you have two to four sets of curtains that
you love, they can be stored and switched out whenever you’d like something “new”.
Here are some tips for creating a home décor theme that will
lend itself to being switched up each season, and ideas for color themes.
Tips for Creating a Home Decor Theme that Lends Itself to Change
- Start with a Neutral Palette

It will be easier to switch up your décor if
you begin with a neutral palette. Walls,
basic flooring, and major pieces of furniture should begin with a neutral color
scheme. Think light or dark grays, creams,
beiges or browns, or even black, depending on your space.
- Use Switchable Items that Don’t Take Up Much Space

As was mentioned before, curtains and
drapes can be folded neatly to fit into a linen closet. You might store a pair of striped curtain panels for Winter, and a pair of sheer white curtains for Summer. Another way to switch out your home décor when
the season changes is to switch out your throw pillows. You don’t have to try to figure out how to
store a bunch of different throw pillows, though. Pillow covers can be bought in a lot of
different sizes. Figure out which size
of throw pillow you like, buy pillow forms in that size and then buy pillow
covers to fit that size. The pillow covers
can be switched out whenever you’d like a change, and can be stored neatly when
not in use.
If you’d like a change to be a bit more permanent,
but you can’t afford to completely switch everything out, paint it! Paint is an easy and fairly inexpensive way
to update tables, picture frames, wooden chairs, trunks, baskets and even smaller
home décor items. There are so many different types of paint now that adhere to
anything without needing primer, that it makes it easy to switch up your look.
Ideas for Color Themes for each Season
SPRING
Try Spring-y colors for Spring. Think pale pastels or bright, crisp colors. Use the colors below as inspiration.

SUMMER
In the Summer, think light and flowy with the fabrics and bright primary colors for accents.

FALL
In the Fall, use the colors of Fall leaves. Use oranges, browns, golds and olive greens. Fabrics can be warmer and cozier with wools and chunkier knits.
WINTER
In the Winter you can go even cozier, with more layering, lots of throws, and pillow covers made of sweater material. Use heavier, insulated curtains to help keep the cold out. Think "holidays" for your color scheme and accessories, or icy Winter colors like pale blues.
