28 Spring Living Room Refresh Ideas That Brighten Your Home

In March I moved one chair closer to the window, and the whole living room felt lighter in a single afternoon.

My living room looked tired after winter. The curtains felt heavy, and the sofa looked dark in the corner.

I did not buy new furniture. I just changed small things, one at a time, over a few days.

A pale cushion here made a big change. A clear vase on the table made the room feel fresh.

You can do the same in your own home. Most of these ideas take only a few minutes, and you can start with what you already have.

I kept the changes light and simple. I wanted the room to feel open, bright, and easy to sit in.

You get all 28 ideas in this one post. There is no second part, and nothing is held back.

1. Swap Heavy Curtains for Sheer Ones

My old curtains were thick and dark, and they blocked half the window.

I took them down on a Saturday morning. I folded them up and put them in a cupboard for next winter.

Then I hung sheer curtains in a soft white shade.

The change was quick to see. Light came through the fabric in a soft way. My sofa looked warmer, and the room felt taller too.

You can wash sheer curtains at home with ease. I wash mine on a gentle cycle and hang them up while they are still a little damp.

They dry fast, and they do not need much ironing.

Pick a plain colour for your room. White, cream, or a very pale blue all work well with a spring look.

Measure your window before you buy. Sheer fabric looks best when it hangs a little wide. Let it fall just past the sill for a soft finish.

I hung mine on the same rod I already had. My sheer curtains cost $12 to $19 in total.

2. Bring In a Vase of Fresh Flowers

A vase of fresh flowers changed my coffee table in one minute.

I picked tulips from a small shop near my home. Their pink petals made the whole room feel alive.

You do not need a big bunch to make a change.

Three or four stems can be enough. Put them in a clear glass vase so you can see the water. Trim the stems at a slant so they drink well.

• Tulips in soft pink
• Daffodils in soft yellow
• White lilies for a calm look

Change the water every two days. I rinse the vase too, so the water stays clear and fresh.

Keep the vase away from hot sun in the afternoon.

A small vase works on a side table too. I move mine from the coffee table to the window sill when friends come over.

Flowers bring colour without any fuss. They smell soft and clean. They make a plain room feel cared for.

I use the same glass vase each week. My vase and flowers cost $6 to $11 in total.

3. Swap Dark Cushion Covers for Pale Ones

My dark cushions made the sofa look heavy all winter.

I took off the covers and put them away. I chose pale covers in cream and soft sage instead.

The sofa looked new, but I had not bought a new sofa.

Pale colours lift a dark room. They show the light from the window. They also make the sofa feel cool on warm days.

You can mix two pale shades in one room. I use cream on the outside cushions and a pale green one in the middle.

Keep the fabric plain so the room stays calm.

Wash the covers before you put them on. I wash mine in cold water and let them dry on a line outside.

Try a soft texture for spring. Linen and light cotton both feel fresh. A little crinkle in the fabric looks natural and relaxed.

I bought four covers for my sofa. My cushion covers cost $14 to $22 in total.

4. Lay a Light Cotton Throw Over the Sofa Arm

My thick winter throw felt too warm for spring.

I folded it up and put it in a basket by the door. Then I picked a light cotton throw in plain white.

I draped it over one arm of the sofa.

It sits there for cool evenings. I pull it over my legs when I read. It also adds a soft layer of colour to the room.

A throw should be easy to wash. I wash mine once a week, and it dries fast on the line.

Pick a throw that feels soft on your skin.

You can fold it neat in a small roll. I keep it draped over the arm so the sofa still looks tidy.

White, pale yellow, and soft blue all suit spring. A thin stripe adds a bit of charm without a loud look. Keep the rest of the sofa plain so the throw stands out.

I found mine in a small home shop. My cotton throw cost $10 to $17 in total.

5. Open the Windows Wide Every Morning

I open my living room windows wide each morning.

Fresh air moves through the room in a few minutes. The stale smell from the night goes away fast.

I do it first, before I make tea.

A cool breeze wakes the room up. It lifts the curtains a little. It makes the whole house feel clean and new.

You can leave the windows open while you tidy up. I dust the shelves and fluff the cushions while the air moves through.

Close them before the hot sun gets too strong.

Morning air feels best in spring. It is cool, soft, and full of fresh smells from outside.

Try it for a week and see the change. Your room will feel less stuffy. Your mood may feel lighter too, and your home will smell fresher.

I wipe the sill each morning with a small cloth I keep in a drawer. My window cloth cost $2 to $4 in total.

6. Move the Sofa Closer to the Light

My sofa sat in a dark corner for months.

I asked my brother to help me slide it. We moved it a few feet closer to the window.

The light fell on the cushions in a soft way.

Now I read there in the afternoon. The pale fabric looks brighter in the sun. My small plant on the sill gets more light too.

You do not need to move the sofa far. Even a small shift can change how the room feels.

Leave space behind it so you can walk past with ease.

Try the sofa at a slight angle. I turned mine a little toward the window, and the room felt more open.

A bright seat makes you want to sit there. It is a good spot for tea and a book. It is also a good spot to talk with family in the evening.

I moved mine with help from family. My sofa sliders cost $5 to $8 in total.

7. Add a Small Green Plant by the Window

A small green plant sits by my living room window now.

Its leaves are bright and fresh. It makes the corner feel alive without any fuss.

I picked a plant that likes soft light.

I water it once a week. I check the soil with my finger first. If the top feels dry, I give it a little water.

A plain pot suits the plant best. I use a pale green pot so the leaves stand out.

Keep the plant out of strong midday sun.

You can put it on the sill or on a small stool. I keep mine on the sill where I can see it from the sofa.

Green brings a calm feel to the room. It adds life to a plain wall. It also pairs well with pale cushions and light curtains.

I bought the plant and the pot together. My green plant cost $7 to $12 in total.

8. Swap the Heavy Rug for a Light Flat-Weave Rug

My thick winter rug felt heavy under my feet.

I rolled it up and stored it in the spare room. Then I laid down a light flat-weave rug in a pale shade.

The floor felt cooler and the room looked bigger.

A flat-weave rug is easy to clean. I shake it outside once a week. I vacuum it with a light pass when it needs a quick tidy.

Pick a rug with a soft pattern. I chose a plain cream weave with a soft feel.

Make sure the rug fits under the front legs of the sofa.

A pale rug shows crumbs more, so I tidy it often. A quick shake outside keeps it looking fresh.

Light rugs suit spring well. They feel airy under bare feet. They also let the wood floor show at the edges, which looks neat.

I found mine in a size that fits my room. My flat-weave rug cost $18 to $29 in total.

9. Clear the Coffee Table and Keep Only Three Things

My coffee table was full of clutter last month.

Old magazines, loose pens, and a pile of remote controls covered the top. I cleared it all off in one go.

Now I keep only three things on it.

• A small vase with fresh flowers
• One book I am reading now
• A small plain bowl for bits and bobs

The table looks calm and open now. I can put my cup down with ease. I can also see the rug pattern under the table edge.

Three things are enough for a spring look. More than that starts to feel busy again.

I tidy the table each night before bed.

I can do the whole thing in a blink. I straighten the book on the table and wipe the top with a cloth.

A clear table makes the whole room feel calm and open. It gives your eyes a rest. It also makes the flowers and the book stand out more.

I use a small bowl I already had at home. My small bowl cost $4 to $7 in total.

Idea	Main change	Typical cost
Sheer curtains	lets soft daylight in	$12 to $19
Vase and flowers	brings fresh spring colour to the table	$6 to $11
Cushion covers	lightens the sofa in pale colours	$14 to $22
Cotton throw	softens the sofa arm in a light layer	$10 to $17
Window cloth	keeps the windows clean for more light	$2 to $4
Sofa sliders	helps move the sofa closer to the light	$5 to $8
Green plant	adds fresh green life by the window	$7 to $12
Flat-weave rug	lightens the floor under the table	$18 to $29
Small bowl	keeps the coffee table neat with three things	$4 to $7

10. Hang a Light Mirror to Bounce the Light

My old mirror was dark and heavy, and it made one wall feel shut in.

I took it down one morning and put up a light frame mirror in its place. The room felt open right away.

I hung it across from the window so the daylight could reach it.

The glass brings in more light from outside. It makes the wall look wider than it is. You can see the sky and the green trees in it on a clear day.

I chose a slim frame in a pale wood tone. It does not fight with the sofa or the rug.

A plain shape works best, so I kept the frame simple and smooth.

I wiped the glass with a soft cloth before I hung it. A clean mirror shows the light much better than a dusty one. I check it once a week now and give it a quick wipe.

You do not need a huge mirror for this trick to work. A medium one at eye height does the job well.

My mirror cost $18 to $34 in total.

11. Swap the Lampshades for Pale Linen Ones

My old lampshades were dark brown, and they kept the light low and dull.

I swapped them for pale linen ones in a soft cream tone. The lamps look fresh now, and the glow feels warm and soft.

Linen lets the light spread out in a gentle way.

I measured the old shades first so the new ones would fit the same lamps. A shade that is too wide looks odd, and one that is too small looks lost. The right size sits neat and level on the base.

I kept the same lamp bases and only changed the tops. That saved me time and kept the cost low.

Now the lamps give a soft light in the evening, and the room feels calm.

I tried one shade first before I changed the second lamp. I liked the pale look so much that I changed the other one the same day. Both lamps match now, and the pair looks tidy side by side.

If your lamp base is dark, a pale shade still lifts the whole lamp. You will see the change the first night you switch it on.

My lampshades cost $14 to $26 in total.

12. Dress the Sofa with a Light Slipcover

My sofa was a deep grey, and it made the room feel cold in spring.

I pulled a light slipcover over it in a soft white tone. The whole sofa looked new in a few minutes.

A slipcover is easy to wash, so I do not worry when my kids sit on it with sticky hands.

I tucked the extra cloth into the sides and smoothed the seat with my hands. The cover stayed in place once I pushed the folds deep into the gaps. I sat down and stood up a few times to test it, and it did not slide off.

The pale cloth makes the cushions look fresh and bright. It also hides the small marks left from last winter.

I folded a light throw over one arm to add a bit of charm.

The cover comes off in a minute, so I can wash it and put it back the same day. That makes it a good pick for a busy home. I wash mine on a cool wash and let it dry on the line.

Pick a loose fit if you want a soft, lived-in look. A snug fit looks neat if you like clean lines.

My slipcover cost $22 to $38 in total.

13. Set a Bowl of Fresh Lemons on the Table

A bowl of fresh lemons is the fastest spring touch I know.

I set a plain white bowl on the coffee table and filled it with bright yellow lemons. The colour pops against the wood, and the room feels sunny even on a grey day.

The lemons smell fresh when you walk past the table.

I washed each lemon and dried it with a tea towel before I put it in the bowl. Clean fruit looks much better than dusty fruit. I turned the best ones to the front so the bowl looked full and neat.

The bowl looks best with the lemons piled high. A full bowl feels rich and sunny, and it makes the table look cared for.

You can swap the lemons for limes or small oranges when you want a new look.

I change the fruit each week so it always looks fresh. Old fruit goes into the kitchen, and new fruit goes into the bowl. It takes me two minutes, and the table always looks cared for.

A low bowl works best, so it does not block your view across the room. Keep it in the middle of the table where all can see it.

My lemon bowl cost $5 to $9 in total.

14. Swap the Dark Side Table for a Light Wood One

My old side table was dark and bulky, and it weighed the corner down.

I moved it out and put a light wood table in its place. The corner felt airy at once, and the pale wood matched the floor.

Light wood shows less dust than dark wood, which I like a lot.

I set a small vase with one flower on the new table. The top stays clear, so the table looks calm and not crowded. I keep just the one vase on it, and that rule helps me a lot.

The table is just the right height for my cup when I sit on the sofa. I can reach my drink with no stretch at all.

A round top suits a small corner, as it has no sharp edges to bump into.

I moved the old dark table into the hall, where it fits much better. Nothing went to waste, and the living room got the light look I wanted. My kids like the new table too, as they can sit next to it and draw.

Look for a plain top and slim legs when you shop for one. Simple shapes age well and suit most sofas.

My side table cost $28 to $46 in total.

15. Clean the Windows Inside and Out

My windows looked fine from inside, but the glass was dull with dust.

I cleaned them inside and out on a mild morning. The light came in much brighter once the glass was clear.

Clean glass makes the whole room feel fresh.

I filled a bucket with warm water and a drop of plain soap. I washed the glass with a soft cloth, then wiped it dry with an old towel. The frames got a wipe too, as dust sits in the corners.

• Wash the glass with warm soapy water first.
• Wipe it dry with a soft towel so no marks stay.
• Clean the sills and frames last, as dust falls down.

I wiped the sills with a damp cloth after the glass was dry. Dust loves to hide in the corners, so I ran the cloth right into each edge.

I did one window at a time so I could see the change as I went. Each clean pane made the view outside look sharper. By the last window, the room felt like a new space.

I opened the windows wide while I worked to let fresh air flow through the room. The breeze felt good, and the house smelled clean.

Do the outside first if you can, then the inside, so you can spot any marks left on the glass. A cloudy day is best for this job, as the sun dries the soap too fast and leaves marks.

My window cleaning kit cost $6 to $11 in total.

16. Clear One Shelf and Leave It Half Empty

One shelf in my living room was packed full, and it made the wall look heavy.

I took all off it and put back only a few plain things. The empty space around them made the shelf look calm and light.

A half empty shelf gives your eyes a place to rest.

I kept a tall plain vase and a small pale bowl on the shelf. The rest went into two small plain boxes in the cupboard. Now each thing has room to breathe, and I can see each one clearly.

The two things stand clear now, with space all round them. I can see each one at a glance.

I dust the shelf once a week, and it takes seconds now that it is clear.

My kids asked why the shelf was so empty, and I told them the space is part of the look. They got used to it fast, and now they like the calm feel too. A clear shelf also shows me at once when a thing is out of place.

Try this on one shelf first, not on all of them at once. One calm shelf can change the feel of a whole wall.

My shelf boxes cost $7 to $12 in total.

17. Add a Light Wicker Basket for Throws

My throws used to lie in a heap on the sofa, and the room looked messy.

I bought a light wicker basket and set it next to the sofa. Now each throw has a home, and the sofa looks neat.

Wicker adds a soft, natural feel that suits spring well.

I folded each throw neat and set it in the basket. The folds sit side by side, and I can see each colour at a glance. The pale green one sits at the front, as we reach for it most.

The basket is light, so I can move it when I clean the floor. It slides back into place with one hand.

My kids pull a throw out in the evening and drop it back in the basket when they are done.

I lined the basket with a plain cloth so the throws stay clean inside. The cloth comes out for a wash each month, and the basket stays fresh. A basket with a flat base stands steady on the floor and does not tip.

Pick a basket that fits your throws with a little room left at the top. A basket that is too small will spill over, and one that is too big will look empty.

My wicker basket cost $12 to $21 in total.

18. Style a Simple Spring Tray on the Coffee Table

My coffee table held cups and bits all over, and it never looked tidy.

I set a plain tray on it to hold the small things in one place. The table looks neat now, and the tray gives the top a clear shape.

A tray turns a mess into a small display.

I put a small white vase with fresh flowers on the tray, next to a plain white pillar candle. A folded pale cloth sits at one end, and the whole group looks calm and balanced. I left space between each thing so none of them touch.

• Keep the vase low so it does not block the view.
• Use odd groups of three things for a natural look.
• Leave one bare spot on the tray for a cup.

I keep the tray near the middle of the table so all can reach it. It stays out of the way when we put our feet up in the evening.

I change the flowers each week, and the tray feels new each time. The candle and the cloth stay the same, so the look does not take long to set up again. It takes me five minutes, and the table stays tidy all week.

The tray is easy to lift off when I need the whole table for a meal. I set it on the side table, and it still looks good there.

A light wood tray suits a pale room, and a white tray suits a wood table. Pick the one that stands out just a little from the table top.

My spring tray cost $9 to $16 in total.

19. Put a Small Herb Pot on the Windowsill

My windowsill was bare, and it felt like a missed spot in the room.

I put a small herb pot there in a plain clay pot. The green leaves bring life to the sill, and I can snip a few leaves for my cooking.

Fresh herbs smell lovely when the sun warms the leaves.

I chose basil, as it grows fast and likes a sunny sill. I water it a little each morning and turn the pot once a week so it grows straight. The leaves stay full and green when I pick the top ones often.

The pot sits straight on the sill, and I wipe the wood dry after each water so no marks stay.

My kids love to rub a leaf between their fingers and smell it.

I snip the leaves with small plain shears from the kitchen drawer. Fresh leaves go straight into my salads and soups.

If your sill gets little sun, pick mint or parsley, as they cope with less light. Start with one pot, and add a second one once the first grows well.

My herb pot cost $4 to $8 in total.

Idea	Main change	Typical cost
Mirror	bounces daylight round the room	$18 to $34
Lampshades	softens the lamp light in pale linen	$14 to $26
Slipcover	dresses the sofa in a light cover	$22 to $38
Lemon bowl	adds fresh yellow colour to the table	$5 to $9
Side table	swaps a dark table for light wood	$28 to $46
Window cleaning kit	makes the windows shine for spring	$6 to $11
Shelf boxes	tidies the shelf with room to spare	$7 to $12
Wicker basket	holds the throws in a light basket	$12 to $21
Spring tray	styles the coffee table for spring	$9 to $16
Herb pot	brings fresh green herbs to the sill	$4 to $8

20. Add a Slim Floor Lamp for Soft Evening Light

My living room felt dark in the corners once the sun went down.

I wanted a soft glow that did not take up much floor space. A slim lamp fit right beside my sofa and left the walkway clear.

I picked a tall thin lamp with a pale shade.

The shade spreads the light up and out in a soft way. It makes the whole corner feel warm in the evening. I can read on the sofa now without a bright overhead light.

I put the lamp beside the armchair in the corner. The cord runs flat along the wall so no one trips on it.

I use a warm white bulb in it.

A cool white bulb felt too harsh in my room. The warm one feels calm and soft at night. It makes the pale walls look even lighter.

You can move a slim lamp in seconds if you change the room around. Try it by a chair first, then by the sofa, and keep the spot you like best.

I bought the lamp and the bulb together in one trip. My slim floor lamp cost $25 to $40 in total.

21. Add Pale Candles in Glass Holders

Pale candles make my living room feel soft and fresh in spring.

I set six small candles on my coffee table in plain glass holders. The glass keeps the wax neat and the table clean.

I picked plain white candles.

The pale white looks light next to my green plant. It sits well with the other colours in the room. In the evening they give a small warm glow.

• Keep them away from curtains and paper.
• Place them on a flat heat-safe spot.
• Blow them out before you leave the room.

I set the holders in a loose group on the table. The group makes a soft glow in one spot.

I light them for an hour after dinner.

The soft light makes the room feel calm. It helps me slow down after a busy day. My kids like to watch the small flames from across the room.

You can use tall thin candles or short wide ones. Pick the shape that fits your holders and your table best.

The candles and the holders came from one small shop. My pale candles in glass holders cost $6 to $12 in total.

22. Hang a Simple Paper Lantern in the Corner

A paper lantern adds a soft round glow to a dull corner.

I hung mine in the corner by the window. It fills the empty space without a heavy piece of furniture.

I chose a plain white lantern.

White works with every colour I already have. It looks light in the day and soft at night. It brings in more light without a harsh glare.

I hung it from a small hook in the ceiling. The cord is long enough to reach the plug by the wall.

I use a low warm bulb inside it.

The paper spreads the light in all directions. It makes the corner feel bigger than it is. I like how it looks next to my pale curtains.

You can fold the lantern flat when you want to store it. It takes up almost no space in a cupboard.

I found the lantern, the hook, and the bulb at the same shop. My simple paper lantern cost $8 to $15 in total.

23. Swap the Dark Art for a Light Botanical Print

My old dark picture made one wall feel heavy.

I took it down and hung a light botanical print in its place. The room felt brighter the same day.

I picked a print with soft green leaves on a white base.

The green ties in with my plants by the window. The white base keeps the wall feeling open. It suits the pale sofa and the light rug.

I used the same hook that held the old picture. The new frame is light, so it hangs straight and safe.

I keep the frame simple and thin.

A thin pale frame lets the print do the work. A thick dark frame would pull the eye away from the leaves. I like how calm the wall looks now.

You can try a print with flowers or soft grass stems. Pick one that matches the greens you already have at home.

The print and the frame came from a small home shop. My light botanical print cost $12 to $22 in total.

24. Put a Light Runner on the Sideboard

My sideboard looked plain and a little dark.

I laid a light runner along the top of it. The pale cloth lifted the whole piece in one minute.

I chose a soft cream runner with a plain edge.

Cream works with the wood and with my pale walls. It makes the sideboard feel fresh for spring. I fold the ends neatly over each side.

I set a small vase of fresh flowers on top of the runner. The runner keeps the wood safe from marks.

I wash the runner when it gets dusty.

A quick wash brings back the pale colour. I lay it flat on a clean towel to dry. Then I put it back on the sideboard and smooth it with my hands.

You can pick a runner with a soft stripe or a plain weave. Keep the colour pale so the sideboard stays light.

I picked up the runner and the small vase in one trip. My light runner cost $9 to $16 in total.

25. Make a Sunny Reading Nook by the Window

I made a small reading nook by my brightest window.

I moved a comfy chair close to the glass. The daylight falls right on the pages of my book.

I added a small side table for my books.

The table holds a small stack of books. It keeps them close so I do not have to get up. A small plant on the windowsill adds a fresh green touch.

• A comfy chair by the window.
• A small table for a stack of books.
• A soft cushion for cool mornings.

I keep a soft cushion on the chair. It makes the seat feel cosy on cool spring mornings.

I keep a small stack of books on the side table.

I pick one book to read each week. The stack keeps the rest tidy and close. My nook feels like my own quiet spot in the house.

You can build a nook in any bright corner. Start with the chair, then add the table and the cushion.

The small table and the cushion came from one shop. My sunny reading nook cost $18 to $30 in total.

26. Bring In Fresh-Cut Branches in a Tall Vase

Fresh branches bring spring right into my living room.

I cut a few thin branches from my garden. I put them in a tall vase on the side table.

I picked branches with small fresh leaves.

The leaves open a little more each day. They add life to a plain corner. I change the water every two days to keep them fresh.

I use a tall plain vase so the branches stand straight. The vase is heavy enough that it does not tip over.

I trim the ends of the branches with sharp scissors.

A fresh cut helps the branches drink more water. I trim a tiny bit off the ends when I change the water. The branches last much longer this way.

You can use branches from a tree or a bush in your yard. Pick thin ones with buds or small leaves.

I found the tall vase and the scissors at one shop. My fresh-cut branches in a tall vase cost $7 to $13 in total.

27. Add a Light-Colour Cushion to Each Chair

A pale cushion on each chair lifts the whole room.

I added one light cushion to every chair in my living room. The chairs now match the pale sofa and the light rug.

I chose soft cream covers.

The cream cushions feel calm and soft. They match the pale sofa and the light rug. Together they make the room feel fresh without a big change.

I fluff each cushion in the morning. A quick shake brings back its full shape.

I keep the covers easy to wash.

I take the covers off and wash them on a gentle cycle. They dry fast on a line in the garden. Then I slip them back on and set the cushions in place.

You can mix plain covers with one soft stripe. Keep the colours pale so the chairs stay bright.

The four cushion covers came in one pack from a small shop. My light-colour cushions cost $10 to $18 in total.

28. One-Weekend Spring Refresh Plan

I planned my whole spring refresh for one quiet weekend.

On Saturday morning I start with the windows. I hang a pair of sheer curtain panels for $12 to $20 and let the daylight pour into the room.

Next I swap the dark cushion covers on the sofa. A pack of pale cushion covers for $8 to $14 makes the sofa look light and fresh at once.

Then I drape a light cotton throw for $10 to $18 over the arm of the sofa. It adds a soft layer for cool evenings. It also ties the pale cushions together in one calm look.

I set a small plain glass vase for $5 to $9 on the coffee table. I fill it with a small bunch of fresh tulips for $4 to $8.

I put a small potted green plant for $6 to $10 by the window. It adds a fresh green touch next to the sheer curtains. I water it and wipe its leaves with a damp cloth.

On Saturday afternoon I tidy the shelves and open the windows for fresh air.

On Sunday I fluff the cushions and smooth the throw. I step back and check that every corner feels light and calm.

My one-weekend spring refresh plan cost $45 to $79 in total: a small bunch of fresh tulips $4 to $8, a pack of pale cushion covers $8 to $14, a light cotton throw $10 to $18, a small plain glass vase $5 to $9, a pair of sheer curtain panels $12 to $20, and a small potted green plant $6 to $10. Pick one spring idea from this list this weekend and let your living room feel like a new room by Sunday night.

Idea	Main change	Typical cost
Small bunch of fresh tulips	fills the vase with fresh spring colour	$4 to $8
Pack of pale cushion covers	lightens the sofa in pale colours	$8 to $14
Light cotton throw	softens the sofa in a light layer	$10 to $18
Small plain glass vase	holds the fresh tulips on the table	$5 to $9
Pair of sheer curtain panels	lets soft daylight fill the room	$12 to $20
Small potted green plant	adds fresh green life by the window	$6 to $10
Total		$45 to $79
