Deep blues with intricate patterns are a perfect addition to any space. If you're in a smaller apartment or looking for more minor changes, opt for more manageable switches, such as replacing your lampshade with an off-white pleat. Even additions of floral knick knacks like a jewelry holder would add the perfect touch this season.
