There's no better time to embrace the beauty of the outdoors than the spring season. Position your sofa — topped with vibrant pillows and throws — directly in front of your windows. All that's left to do is bask in the natural light.

Kick off the spring season by turning an unused corner of your home into a charming coffee station. Amp up built-in shelves with a pastel-colored curtain that's fit to hide everything from mugs to appliances.
