Spring Is in the Air

As the cold grip of winter loosens its hold, we eagerly welcome the arrival of spring with open arms. It's a season of renewal, rebirth, and rejuvenation, and what better way to celebrate it than by infusing your home with the vibrant energy of spring? In this blog post, we'll explore some creative interior design ideas to help you usher in the season of blooming flowers, warmer days, and fresh beginnings.

Embrace Nature-Inspired Colours: One of the simplest ways to transition your home for spring is by changing the colour palette. Replace deep, moody winter hues with lighter, nature-inspired colours. Think soft pastels like pale blues, gentle greens, and blush pinks. These colours evoke the freshness and serenity of spring and can be incorporated into your walls, furniture, and accessories.

Floral Prints and Patterns: Spring is synonymous with blooming flowers, so it's only fitting to introduce floral patterns into your interior design. Whether it's through throw pillows, curtains, wallpaper, or upholstery, floral prints instantly infuse your space with the essence of spring. Opt for larger, more modern prints for a contemporary look, or go for dainty, vintage-inspired florals for a classic touch.

Bring the Outdoors In: Spring is the perfect time to reconnect with nature, and what better way to do that than by bringing the outdoors in? Incorporate houseplants and fresh flowers into your décor. Not only do they add a pop of colour and life to your space, but they also improve air quality and boost your mood. Consider succulents, fiddle leaf figs, or a vase of tulips to brighten up your home.

Light and Airy Fabrics: Swap out heavy curtains and drapes for light and airy fabrics. Sheer curtains allow natural light to filter through, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. Consider linen or cotton for your upholstery and bedding for a breezy and comfortable feel. You can also add light, textured throws and blankets for a cozy touch that's perfect for those cool spring evenings.

Declutter and Simplify: Spring cleaning isn't just for your closets; it's an essential part of refreshing your home for the season. Decluttering your space not only creates a clean, organised look but also gives you the opportunity to reevaluate your décor. Consider donating or repurposing items you no longer need and focus on simplifying your home's design. A clutter-free environment allows the beauty of your spring-inspired décor to shine.

Open Up Your Space: As the weather warms up, open your windows and doors to let in the fresh air. If you have a patio or garden, consider creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. This can be achieved by using similar colour schemes and materials for both areas, creating a harmonious flow between them.

Spring-Inspired Art and Accessories: Add the finishing touches to your spring-inspired interior by incorporating artwork and accessories that capture the spirit of the season. Look for paintings or photographs that feature spring landscapes, flowers, or wildlife. Decorate your shelves with vases filled with fresh-cut flowers, and switch out your winter-themed décor items for spring-themed ones, like birdcage decorations or pastel-coloured dishes.

“It was an absolute godsend to have Jacqui & Alex on my team. They cut out hours of decision making and searching in shops”

The scale of decision making on a new build is a daunting task and especially for someone like me who is time poor and has no idea when it comes to interior design. So, it was an absolute godsend to have Jacqui & Alex on my team. They cut out hours of decision making and searching in shops. Simply presenting me with a few options, which I often had Alex make the final decision on anyway.

Alex's communication is excellent, and it was exciting to know how far away my new pieces were. She was always available to answer my questions and especially when it came down to the implementation of her design. Alex and Jacqui are extremely professional and helped transform our new house into a personal and aesthetically pleasing home for our family.
