With the return of sunshine, flowers and a feeling of, well, fresh starts, spring is the perfect time to think about re-jigging your home décor. There’s nothing better than a good spring clean, but why not update your home’s look after you’ve cleared the clutter? Taking a look at the space you have should be your first port of call, and websites like Pinterest offer up a whole host of ways to turn dead space into something amazing. We’re talking shelves up high with tumbling plants perched on them, small garden trellises repurposed into display boards for your bedroom – the world is your oyster. We’ve rounded up a few of the coolest interior trends for the season for inspiration:
BOTANICAL GREENS Its not just houseplants that are making waves in people’s houses this season, but the very colour of them. For SS19, we’re seeing lots of deep velvet sofas, palm-print cushions and textured rugs in the hue. The best way to incorporate this colour in your home is by switching up your accessories – think scatter cushions in the bedroom or a rug in the hall. It pairs very well with brass and gold, too, so introduce lampshades with a warm metal base and golden ornaments to mix and match the shades for an expensive-looking result.
DAYS IN THE SUN For this season, sun-baked palettes are big news. Taking inspiration from long, lazy days spent basking in the sun, the look is more Spanish taverna than neon-bright. Interior magazines everywhere are reporting the popularity of terracotta pots, sandy hued towels and and blush coloured bathroom accessories. We’re rushing out to buy some warm pink soap dispensers and decanting our shower products into them – a quick and easy way to tap into the trend, and environmentally friendly too – just re-fill it at a dedicated shop instead of purchasing more plastic.
THE 70’S CALLED The retro feel of the 70s is back, in a big way. Rounded sofas, lampshades with fringing and natural textures are the dish of the day. Burnt rust colours and beige are the key colours in the trend, so swap out your brilliant-white bedding for a warm beige, and your grey floor rug for a darkened orange one to channel this retrospective look. Bamboo, wicker and rattan are making a comeback too, and luckily for us, wicker hampers and storage baskets are readily available for a low cost in high street shops at the moment, so you needn’t break the bank. Perhaps give the gaudy swirling wallpaper of your youth a miss, though.
