SOMA Living April 2026

INTERIOR DESIGN Okayyyyyyy decor lovers! Has your house been in hibernation mode, or is it just mine? Because somewhere between the cozy blankets, the moody candles, and the seventeen random things living on the dining table, winter really did a number on us. But spring is here! And it’s time to wake your home up! First… lighten things up. Swap heavy throws, dark pillows, and anything that feels emotionally attached to January for lighter fabrics and happier colors. If it looks like it belongs in a cave, put it away. Second, bring the outdWHOREs in. Florals, greenery, branches from the yard… all of it works. And yes, faux plants absolutely count. I will never shame a low-maintenance hack. Just dust them!! Third, move things around. Rearranging a chair, a lamp, or even your coffee table accessories can make your space feel brand new. It’s basically free therapy with throw pillows! Fourth… go to HomeGoods. Or as I like to call it… my HAPPY PLACE!!! Honestly, it is the mothership for pretty little spring swaps. A fresh vase, a cheerful candle, a cute tray, new pillows… suddenly you’re a whole new person for under a hundred bucks! WARNING: an unsupervised trip to HomeGoods is how you leave with four pillows, two baskets, and absolutely no memory of what you originally came for. And finally, let the light in. Open the curtains, clean the windows, and let the sunshine do its thing. Natural light covers a multitude of decorating sins.
