Finally, the weather in the capital has turned to spring. The air temperature rose above zero, the sun came out and the snow even began to melt. In order for the mood to finally become spring, all that remains is to make a few changes in the interior of your apartment.

There are 5 simple options on how to do this as quickly and inexpensively as possible. By changing just a few details in your home, you can enjoy a spring mood that will not leave you for a long time.

Plants When we talk about spring, the first thing that comes to mind is flowers. And in general about any plants. To liven up your apartment, simply add as many flora as possible to your interior. Buy spring flowers and place them in vases near the bed in the bedroom and on coffee table in the living room. Tulips and especially chrysanthemums will last a long time and delight you. If you want to get plants that will live for many years, then you should think about home palm, ferns and cacti.

Yellow curtains How to add sun to a room even on the cloudiest and coldest day? Easy and simple. You just need to hang the curtains yellow. Thanks to them, any light coming through the windows will seem much warmer. Choose a shade of yellow that suits you. If the room is dominated pastel colors, then it is better to choose curtains in a sand or lemonade shade. If you want to add bright colors, then canary-colored or even lemon-colored curtains are perfect for this.

Bright details: pillows and rugs in a simple way add spring mood The living room is updated with textile decor. A bright carpet will immediately become main detail in the room. It doesn’t matter whether it has an unusual pattern or a plain one, in any case it will not be able to go unnoticed. And of course you can’t do without pillows. Finding pillowcases in bright spring colors in the store is not a problem now, and sewing them won’t be a problem either. special labor. But such decorative elements can bring more colors to the interior. And with the onset of autumn and winter, they can be changed to darker shades.

Colored dishes Don't forget about the kitchen. In order for any meal to bring joy not only to the stomach, but also to the eyes, you need to acquire bright dishes. Multi-colored plates and cups do not have to be matched to the color of the walls or furniture; you just need to find the ones that you like. Silver knives, forks and spoons can also be hidden away. Instead, you should put bright plastic or glass cutlery on the table.

Air flavoring The spring mood in the apartment can be created not only by decorative items. A regular air freshener is perfect for this. The most important thing is to choose the right scent. Avoid heavy woody and musky scents. Floral and fruity scents are perfect for the spring mood. By the way, knitted items can also be an excellent home decoration. We have already shared ideas for them in one of the materials.

Spring is just around the corner. Let's create the appropriate mood and get rid of the winter blues.

Winter is coming to an end. Light pours into every corner of our apartments and lingers longer and longer. But for some reason he is still not very happy: yawning and apathy prevail. Where does such melancholy come from half an hour before spring? It's simple: an overdose of darkness and cold, overwork, and lack of vitamins take their toll.

When your mood is at zero and there are no desires, listen to yourself, feel your true aspirations. And start awakening your interest in life!

We write down pleasant things

If you feel low in energy, tell yourself: “Fatigue is a transition to new stage" If you're tired, then you've done it at this stage everything possible. Now you need a little rest, which is best organized according to your desires. And then you can take a step to a new level.

Be a pedant: write down in as much detail as possible all the pleasant things that happen during the day. They called you affectionately by name - write it down, received a letter from a friend - mark it. And in the evening, read and rejoice. Supplement this with a portion of jokes or a comedy series. And be sure to record everything that piques your curiosity.

Creating an “orange mood”

Additional lighting and adding white into the interior. You can turn on the lamp in the hallway at about 5 a.m. (if you have the opportunity and desire) to create a feeling of the day just beginning. Or light a lamp next to your bed as a symbol of dawn.

Experts advise turning to orange shades: this is the color of the sun, energy itself. Therefore, orange scarves, hairpins, and oranges on the table will be very appropriate.

By the way, about the “living” sun. Get to know him again. Just as recognition occurs gradually with an unknown person, treat the sun the same way. Greet him as if you were seeing him for the first time. Give him a face, smile. Let it caress you with its rays.

We love spring for the emerging grass, unfolding leaves and delicate snowdrops. So interspersing spring landscapes and still lifes into your life will be beneficial. And the most wonderful option is fresh flowers. Try growing snowdrops or tulips in your apartment (having previously learned the theory of how to do it correctly). Imagine how happy it will be when they bloom!

Smile every day

Although it’s still the end of winter, you can already feel the spring renewal of life around you: the sun is shining a little longer, the birds are singing with all their might. And what prevents us from bringing novelty into our lives, loves, and work? For example, update the decoration of the apartment with unusual bright photos, trinkets, symbols good mood, energy, love, new furniture(at least a shelf). And smile every new day!

And finally, about the long evenings and nights that will remain like this for another month. We can even turn them to our advantage. Remember how once in our youth the darkness concealed a mystery for us and beckoned us with adventure? What did you love then, at sixteen? Maybe dance? So move around at home to music (or you can go to a club!).

Each of us once had hobbies that we are now embarrassed to take out from the “bins” of memory: someone was reading adventure novels, and someone collected postcards or chewing gum inserts. I wonder if you could find them? To watch it again, to be moved. This will breathe life into you and bring back the sparkle to your eyes.

Happy coming spring! There's only a little bit left before it.

Don't worry if the selection around the image is not perfect, because we will apply a spray effect, you can create this effect by watching the tutorial on the website; you can also use a free action to create the said effect. If you decide to use the action, then you need to process the selected image of a couple in love, after opening the original image in a new document.

Step 10

Create a few more duplicates with the dove image. Zoom in on the duplicates to about 120% and then apply a filter Gaussian Blur(Gaussian Blur), for this we go Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur(Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur). Install Radius(radius) blur 4 px. Place the wings in the corners of the image as shown in the screenshot below. If you want, you can use Feather brushes by downloading them from the link at the beginning of the tutorial, brush color #ebead9.

Step 11

Open the image with climbing plants. Using the selection tool, select the branch with leaves that you like. Place a twig with leaves in the dove's beak. Apply scaling and rotation to make the branch look realistic.

You can also add highlights as additional lighting effects. Add the highlights you like, change the blending mode for the layers with highlights to Lightening(Screen) or Replacement with light(Lighten).

Step 17

Next, add an adjustment layer Gradient map(Gradient Map) on top of all other layers. Change the blending mode for this adjustment layer to Overlap(Overlay), and also reduce Opacity(opacity) of the layer up to 50%. The gradient colors are #153433 and #b5a47e, but you can use any color shades that you like.

Step 18

As a final touch, apply a filter Color contrast(High Pass) to sharpen the image.

Translator's note: to apply filter Color contrast(HighPass), first create a merged layer from all visible layers (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E) and then go Filter - Other - Color Contrast(Filter -Other -HighPass).
