5 Easy Ways to Update your Living Room for Spring

    The time of year that is most challenging for me in decorating is definitely the January and February months.  I've packed up all my holiday decor but it's still a little too early for full-blown spring colors and accessories.  This year I was able to bridge the gap a little easier by incorporating some pale pastels and lots of layered neutral textures into my living room to bridge the gap between January and the beginning of spring.   As spring as crept closer, I've continued updating and adding more spring touches and accessories throughout the space.  I'm loving the feel of all the pale neutrals, layered textures, and pops of green- a little boho and a little farmhouse style overall.  I also got a new coffee table which I'm loving as it totally has the perfect modern farmhouse look.  Below I've listed a few easy eays to update your living room decor for spring while still keeping it super cozy!  Take a look at how I gave my living room a little mini makeover to wake it up after the winter months!
