Spring is here!

Let’s shake off the winter gloom with a good, old-fashioned spring decor cleaning. 

Spring is one of our favorite times of the year! Flowers are in bloom, the sunshine is warm, birds are chirping … it’s a joyful time. But, what we really love about spring is the sense of renewal that comes with this new season of growth. There is no bad time to renovate your home, but spring is fresh and brand-new … so, why not bring that springtime feeling into your home?


Get inspired. 

Flip through the latest Southern Living. Pin your heart out on Pinterest. Go with what inspires you, then come to us!

We have all the latest spring lineups from our favorite brands here at Hardwood Specialties. From flooring to lighting, to kitchen and bath and more (way, way more!) we know all there is to know about the best in home improvement products. 


Start small.

It seems like there are more options than ever in fabric and texture, paint colors, floors, lighting … where do you start?

A classic designing piece of advice is to find something small that calls out to you, like a favorite throw pillow. What do you like about it? Do you love the playful colors? The soothing texture? The message stitched onto it? Make the pillow the center of all your designing decisions for your room, and match everything to it. 


Improve your room’s function. 

Are you longing for a better flow to the family room? Do you find yourself lingering over pictures of modern, bright bathrooms (with heated floors!)? Are you frustrated by dim countertops while cooking in the kitchen? 

Think about all the things that you don’t like about your current space, such as:

  • Dim lighting

  • Awkward flow

  • Outdated fixtures

  • Ugly flooring

  • Poor cabinet layout

  • Paint colors that just don’t work

Now that you have your “fix-it” list, make a “wish” list:

  • Fresh, trendy or classic paint colors

  • Lush tile and gorgeous fixtures for the bathroom

  • Energy-efficient, beautiful light fixtures, and ceiling fans

  • Custom, quality cabinets with built-in lighting


Bring it all to Hardwood Specialties.

Now that you have your inspiration and your lists, bring them to us! We have samples for you to see and touch right here, in store. And we carry the top products in the industry, so you know you’ll be getting the best possible quality for your new kitchen, bathroom or living space.

Our favorite trends in upcoming 2020 home decor: 

We love those bold colors and inviting textures are popular this year! Instead of overwhelming your eyes with bright colors everywhere, try adding one or two. Set off a bright, bohemian rug and matching (or contrasting) throw pillows with neutral, cream walls.

Farmhouse style was the top choice for southerners in 2019, and we’re betting it’s a leading trend for 2020! What’s not to love? Rustic touches, laid-back and family-friendly sensibility … farmhouse style can be as sophisticated or as country-casual as you want!

What’s your family’s decor style?


Surviving the last of the cold weather: 

If you’re like us, it can be frustrating that even though the calendar says “spring,” the temperatures can sometimes plunge back down to “winter.” Don’t forget to practice good hygge! Hot tea, fuzzy slippers and snuggle time are still in-season.

And try to be grateful for these chillier temps, because before you know it, we’ll be sweltering through another hot, southern summer!
