Six ways to love your home this month
April ways to update your home
Hanging plants
What better way to welcome spring than by adding a bit of greenery to your home. These egg-shaped ceramic planters that hang on your wall are a lush alternative to art.
Planters, $166/set of 3, Light and Ladder.
Petal lights
Leave it to Ikea to come up with another must-have light. This ruffled pendant will add a playful look to any room.
Light, $20, Ikea.
Striped seats
We love these colourful Vancouver-made outdoor chairs. The fabric slings are removeable, so they’re a snap to clean and you can change up the look every season. Plus, they fold flat for easy storage.
Deck chair, $258, Gallant and Jones.
Classic china
Pretty blue-and-white plates never go out of style, and these are no exception. Pick up an oval serving platter and a collection of accent plates for your outdoor table this summer.

Paisley pillows
Now is the perfect time to freshen up your living room. Swap out your cable-knit throw pillows for these paisley-printed beauties.
Pillows, $30, Indigo.
Floor care
Kick your spring cleaning into high gear with a vacuum that makes it easy. Our pick is from Rowenta's new floor care collection; the Silence Force Extreme Compact achieves best-in-class silence levels and performance, and it's compact in size — perfect for condos and smaller spaces.
