Ideas for Decorating Your Autumn Creek Apartment

Add Flowers & Plants

Flower arrangements are an easy way to add a spring accent to your decor. Put together a traditional arrangement of springtime flowers. Martha Stewart has some lovely ideas for unique combinations of flowers and containers to help you get your imagination going or simply follow the directions to create the arrangements that are shown. Another fun twist on unusual containers for spring flower arrangements comes from Better Homes and Gardens — re-purpose an outdoor birdbath to create “living artwork” featuring a “display of moss, spring-flowering bulbs, and pussy willow branches.” Get the directions here.

Rearrange the Furniture

Rearranging the furniture can definitely make things feel refreshed and like new. Before you strain your back though moving the armoire multiple times, trying to get it in the perfect place, try one of these apps and create a room layout before actually moving everything.
