Over the last year, we can’t deny that the pandemic and lockdown has changed how we see our homes. While they have easily become our place of refuge, we’ve also seen them transform to mold into a home office space, remote school, and more. The spring season is now upon us and it’s time that we reclaim our comfort and sanctuary that was once our home! The following 7 tips will help you upgrade your space to bask yourself in a bit of luxury while also embracing that our homes are still doubling as offices.
Green Cabinets

If you want to go bold in your décor, shades of green are a safe choice and gives depth to any room or project. Take Ashley’s kitchen for example.

Ground Yourself

Color affects the way we feel and think, so keep that in mind while you’re redecorating.

These natural hues all work well with darker colors too which can add depth to your space but even provide a more welcoming feel which we need for the new year.
