With spring just around the corner, it’s time to start decorating! If your apartment’s been looking a little lackluster as winter comes to a close, here are 5 ideas for some spring-inspired beautification.
4 Ways to Decorate Your Apartment for Spring
Pastels
Whether it’s in a fresh set of kitchen towels, a candle on your end table, or a new bedspread, pastel colors are the way to go this spring. Think lavender, baby blue, light pink, or pale yellow. These colors are fresh and light and will reflect the season!
Flowers
Flowers always brighten up any space and spring is known for its fresh blooms. While you can certainly head to the flower shop and nab a beautiful spring bouquet, cut flowers don't have that long of a lifespan and can be pricey. Consider purchasing a potted spring-time flower instead! Tulips, Easter lilies, crocuses, and hyacinths are all great choices and will bring the beauty of this time of year to any room.
Patterns
Look for light flower patterns in some new linens. Sheets with small violets, a bedspread of roses, or hand towels with butterflies and lilies will brighten up your space in untold ways this spring.
Candles
Finally, give the air a boost of fresh spring smells with a few new candles. Choose colors and scents that'll fill your home with the aroma of spring. When guests come over, they’ll appreciate the scents, too!

Before we know it, the residents of our Denver, CO, apartments will be heading to rooftop happy hours and imbibing in half-price appetizers on patios all over the city. We don't think you should wait for warmer weather to start sipping on spring-inspired cocktails. Here are a few recipes that are perfect for this time of year, and you can make them right in the comfort of your own home!
Grapefruit Mojitos
Soft peach colors and bright grapefruit flavors come together in a nontraditional twist on mojitos. Fresh mint sprigs stick to the standard idea of a mojito, but the grapefruit juice adds a fun way to experience the fruitiness of spring. Try the recipe!
Concrete Junglebird
Pay homage to your downtown Denver dwelling with a cocktail that's named for city living. The Concrete Junglebird is a tropical mix of island flavors that pair perfectly alongside some fancy appetizers when you're throwing a dinner soiree. This cocktail requires some unconventional ingredients, so you might need to do a little research before you start mixing stuff in your shaker. Try the recipe!
The Perfect Paloma
Palomas are tequila's answer to the infamous bottomless brunch classic. Make sure you use a high-quality tequila to avoid unwanted aftertastes. Reposado tequila and agave syrup really make an awesome couple when you're ready for a wake-me-up drink that's fit for spring. Try the recipe!
Blood Orange Jalapeno Margarita
Spicy cocktails are excellent accompaniments to home-cooked entrees that impart a bit of zest. They also work well if you're just doing a few appetizers because they tend to speak for themselves. This recipe gives you the power to make your margaritas from scratch, which adds an extra "wow factor" if you're having guests over. Try the recipe!
Strawberry Daiquiri
Since spring is the season when strawberries start to make their most remarkable mark on the world, it only makes sense to include a cocktail that incorporates this delectable fruit. Paired with white rum and lime juice, this fun cocktail is great for after-work relaxation. Try the recipe!

April marks the onset of peak season for juicy, beautiful red strawberries. We've found some delicious recipes that'll enable you to enjoy Mother Nature's bounties morning, noon, and night!
Put Them Into a Punch Bowl
Strawberry and watermelon punch with lime and tarragon provide the perfect way to enjoy the freshness of spring with a creative flair. This drink can easily be family-friendly or adults-only, and the recipe is great for those springtime picnics and potlucks!
Stock Up on Smoothie Ingredients
Strawberry smoothies start the day off right. After all, they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Add half a frozen banana to fortify the texture and provide your diet with an added bit of potassium. A little bit of milk supports your daily intake of calcium while the thickness of the smoothie keeps your belly full until it's time for your mid-morning snack!
Enliven a Lighthearted Lunch
Salads are a healthy way to keep the microwave-meal blues away, but not all lettuce is appetizing. If your salad doesn't have some sensational elements, you're likely to skip it in favor of the drive-thru soon enough. To avoid this midday-meal pitfall, make sure you're arming your lunch bag with a salad that stands out above the competition. This strawberry salad with poppy seed dressing serves as an awesome accompaniment to sandwiches, or you can add diced chicken to create an entree-sized dish.
Set It Up with Salmon
Salmon is an energy-providing food source that contains potassium, vitamin B12, and ample amounts of omega-3 fatty acids that are good for plenty of different parts of the body. Your brain, joints, and heart can all benefit from the beauty of salmon. When you top it with a flavorful garnish that's comprised of strawberries and rhubarb, your taste buds will thank you, too. To get the most out of this meal, serve it with a side of quinoa.
