One of the best ways to add spring feel to your home is to put up your own wall art. Unleash your artistic spirit with watercolors and see what you can come up with. On the other hand, various embellishments such as feathers, tassels, contemporary clocks, fringing, tufting, etc. make for a perfect addition to your spring home look. How you’re going to incorporate these details is all up to you because there’s nothing more pleasant and soothing than a truly personal environment that came to life with your own creativity.
