Add bursts of bright color, energetic patterns, and lively springtime motifs to your home to effortlessly transition it into spring.

Carve out a sunny nook to refresh and recharge with a mini tabletop greenscape. A tray table makes it easy to move plants near a window's natural light. Place plants that share light and watering needs but vary in texture and color for a fresh spring display in a glass terrarium.

A gallon of paint is among the easiest tools for changing a space. Choose a springtime color, like this room's soft violet, that makes you feel happy; paint an accent wall or the whole room. For a more substantial yet still easy makeover, start with two new accents for the room, such as window treatments, chairs, a light fixture, or a rug. Match a paint color to your new duds, and with just three things, you can have a brand-new room.

Bring a spare birdbath indoors to create living artwork. A shallow model can hold just enough soil to make a pretty display of moss, spring-flowering bulbs, and pussy willow branches. It's the perfect miniature garden to enjoy indoors before your outdoor landscape blooms.

Sometimes all you need to update a room for a new season is a fresh window treatment. Use a pretty, floral-pattern Roman shade to turn a window into a work of art.

A symmetrical grouping of flower prints turns a blank wall space into a conversation piece. With a few simple supplies, you can make a series of botanical prints like these, customized to your color and style preferences.

Inject pattern into a room with wallpaper for a fresh and easy update. Peel-and-stick options make the job easier, and removable wallpaper makes changes a cinch later on.

A simple pair of floral panels moves with little effort and filters light. Lest you think sheers come only in plain white, check out today's options, including pretty pale colors and punchy patterns such as the floral shown here. Curtain clips make it easy to hang and replace later.

Evoking tabletop conservatories of old, a pretty wooden birdcage makes a fanciful three-dimensional frame for a seasonal display. Set an upbeat mood in an entry with a vibrant-color cage holding a feather nest and faux eggs or a small flower arrangement.

Allow your home decor to blossom with hints of garden-fresh greens. Start small by painting the bases of a pair of table lamps, or opt for a more dramatic display of green by reupholstering dining room chairs.

Tip the style scale on a basic living room by updating an existing rug with a dose of notched-up pastels. Use painter's tape on an inexpensive sisal rug to create clean outlines of your desired geometric pattern. Apply interior latex paint with a paintbrush or foam roller.

Ready-made carved ceiling rosettes make an impressive eye-level wall display. Painted in graduated shades of yellow, the disks add style to a living room. Made of urethane and available at most home centers they are lightweight and easy to hang.

Add pattern to a headboard by wrapping it with a yard of mod floral fabric. Adorn bare walls with inexpensive album frames filled with patterned paper to tie in your color scheme. Add glitz to an existing bedside table with metallic paint.

A collection of eggcups lined up in rows makes an attractive organizing tool on a desk. Fill the cups with small desk needs such as paper clips and stamps, cut flowers, or hard candies.

Create a casual living room that sings "spring" and brims with juicy citrus colors. Add brightly colored vases, spunky patterned pillows and rugs, and flea market finds to your space for a fresh feel without spending a fortune.
