Each its own color, but candles or lamps can be used as great way to lighten the mood in the home this spring.
Don't forget to use something natural To liven up your room, Put a plant in the loneliest corner of your room. Peace Lily is one of my favorite. It can help remove most common home air impurities like benzene, toulene, xylene, trichloroethylene and VOCs-----Formaldhyde smell in newly furnished homes.
- Bamboo Palm(Chamaedorea sefritzii) is the one plant i really liked this season, simply because
of its shape, purifying quality, its easy to care personality and it
looks good for a tropical home.
Other good indoor Plants that can be used for air purification:
- Red-edged Dracaena (Dracaena marginata
- Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina)
- Azalea (Rhododendron simsii)
- Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema Crispum 'Deborah')

Go Zen---If you're a fish lover, Set Your Aquarium next to a real life bamboo palm plant. (it's nice when set next to yoga mat or meditation space). The Asians are known for their colorful fish tanks, when well kept and maintained, aquariums can bring in an ease of peaceful energy to any home.
Onyi's decor I found out that spraying lemon-citrus essential oil scents and using wired vintage screens around the window and doors repels disease caring pest like a fly or bug from entering your home.
Over grown pet furs can be uncomfortable for pets and the owner during warm shedding when left uncared for. Andis multi-style clippers is a good brand clipper i use to keep my pet trimmed. (Shampoo, condition and Trim your pets fur, a little grooming helps keep the couch fur free). Maintaining a healthy regimen for your pets helps reduce the spread of allergens, worms or infections in your home.
Changing your home Air filters every 3months and ventilating is really helpful. I have been told that salt lamps and HEPA Allergen filters are really good for home air filtering. As a matter of fact i just changed my air filter, but i found that some dust end up on the counters and table tops, so i used hydrogen peroxide and paper towels to wipe it out instead of using dust mops to dust the dust which then spreads dust around the home.
Another awesome spring tip: Try growing some of your own herbs like Sweet basil, ornamental peppers, parsley, wheat grass, cherry tomatoes, spinach, cilantro, french or african marigold, mint, thyme, oregano, stevia, and more out door in your home; they are easy to grow in a planting pot with organic potting mix soil. Instead of wishing for your magical home decor or garden fairy godmother to drop into your life, you could spend that time working to become your own creative garden asset.Growing my own patio garden and trying to decorate my home the way i like has been a little messy, a bit frustrating especially when working on a budget and a plant i spent much time on isn’t growing the way i want but been my own personal herb grower has been super empowering because i don’t always have to go out to the store to buy my herbs; also plucking the herbs from my own garden helps me stay away from the sugar and preservatives found in most commercially sold herb seasoning. The healthy benefits have far outweighed any frustration I've experienced! So you can kick the self doubt to the curb. You can create amazing patio gardens and space for your life with your family.
