Nothing says Spring quite like colour. With the season in full swing, we’re sharing a few simple, stylish ways to fill your home with bright, inviting hues.
Switching up your couch cushions and throws is a quick yet effective way to add a pop of colour. Swap your chunky knitted throws for something lightweight in a playful pattern.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns and textures, especially if you’re at your favourite homeware store and are spoiled for choice. Layering is here to stay. Have fun with it!
Level up your Spring refresh with artwork. Wall art and prints are great ways to introduce a variety of different colours to your space without the bigger commitment of a colourful feature wall or a new piece of furniture.
Artwork also acts as an excellent anchor for the rest of your home; it’s a great place to pull colours and inspiration from when designing the rest of your home, making it a viable investment piece throughout the seasons.
What shouts Spring more than florals? When in doubt, treat your home to a bright, inviting bouquet or two. Whether you opt for a monochrome bouquet or one with florals of every shade, indoor plants and greenery provide a great, low-impact way to explore colours you might have not designed with before, and add a punch to a softer, minimal space.
A whimsical wallpaper can transform a space for Spring, and beyond. Wallpapers offer plenty of versatility, from vibrant statement prints to soft, neutral patterns. We love these two beautiful contrasting examples from interior designer Maria DeCotiis.
Warmer temperatures mean swapping thick duvets with light, airy and breathable bed linens. While vibrant florals and vivid colours are timeless year after year, calming pastels are also on trend this season, so if you prefer a more neutral colour scheme, opt for an earthy shade inspired by nature.
Lastly, if you want to add depth to a neutral space, drape the end of your bed with a soft textured throw in a playful pattern, layer with textured pillows, and finish with a fresh set of floral drapes, as seen in this whimsical bedroom designed by DeCotiis.
