Drape pastel-colored throw blankets over your sofa, bed or armchairs. Shades like lavender or dusty pink are ideal for a room that has light brown or beige furniture. Green and blue throw blankets work well against gray furniture. Select throw pillows in the same color scheme.

Complete your spring home decor with a centerpiece of fresh flowers for the dining room or coffee table. Blooms like tulips or daisies are ideal and can either contrast or complement the other decor colors in the room. For instance, coral tulips pair well with the pink throw rug you've chosen for your bedroom. Daisies add a striking white to a room that is adorned with pastel shades. If your budget is limited, consider picking up some inexpensive but colorful primrose plants in the supermarket's floral department.
