Bring joy to your home

Start the new season in style with these décor ideas to create a fresh and uplifting new look in your home.

A lighter touch

The colour, pattern, and lightness of materials are some of the key decorating ideas to focus on as the weather warms up. Swap out wools for silks and linen, and velvets for wovens and cotton, as this alone will lift the space for lighter days and evenings. Introducing pastel shades mixed with floral and botanical prints is a great way of establishing the synergy between the inside and out and will add an overall fresher vibe to your space.

Swap out your textiles

A quick, easy, and inexpensive way to transform a room so it feels fresh and colourful is to style the space with new textiles such as cushions, bedlinen, blankets, and throws. For big impact switching up one or two pillows with pops of colour or patterns that pull from nature will make the room feel different for the new season. Pack away the heavy blankets of winter and switch to lighter-weight throws in cotton and linen for those fresh mornings and chilly evenings.

Decorate with flowers

Fresh-cut flowers are an instant way to refresh a room and bring the season into your home. Just a few fresh-picked flowers or bowls of spring bulbs can transform the vibe of the space taking it from winter to summer happiness. Don’t save floral arrangements just for the dining table either, dot them around the house in a pretty vase to add colour to a room. Plants will bring the same energy and life to the space and if you mix eclectic pots in different colours and textures, it will just add to springtime vibes.

Create a display in brighter colours

Styling little vignettes around your home with ornaments, vases, and pottery is a great way to add colour and pattern to a room. The best shades to bring energy are pastel tones such as pink, pale blue, lilac, and soft green as they reflect the flowers and blossoms outside. But, don’t forget yellow. Not only does it symbolise the sun but it will always bring a happy feeling into your home.

Add new tableware

Just like festive table scaping, a table over the summer months can be a beautiful way to celebrate the new season with family and friends. Establish a unique, stylish, and inviting atmosphere with pretty pastels. Start with a neutral tablecloth and add pastel napkins to give a fresh, energetic vibe to a meal. Follow with colourful glass and dinnerware, flower arrangements, and natural accents collected from outside to add extra summery vibes to the table.
