How To Accessorise With Spring Colours
With April just around the corner, there has never been a better time to start afresh with your interiors. Why you may ask? Spring is known as the season for new life and beginnings, and with the Spring Equinox falling around March 20th, it is the perfect time to hit the reset button on your decor. Today we’re talking all about colour- think light blue hues, pastel purples and mellow yellows.
Refreshing your space doesn’t always mean tearing carpets up and getting the paint brushes out. Quite often the most effective updates are through the simplest of changes. By adding new accessories and soft furnishings in seasonal shades, your home will instantly feel as though it has had a major upgrade.
Let’s start with your living space. As the weather gets warmer the temptation to hide away cosy throws and fluffy cushions is high. However, with the ever interchangeable British weather who knows when you’re going to need those treasured home comforts. Choose soft furnishings in bold pastels or lighter hues to create a subtle yet sophisticated look. Throws are also a great way to bring in a touch of spring colour. Whether you opt for floral patterns or plain designs, it’s a great way to give your space a new season update without compromising on the cosiness of your room.
Want to make more of a statement? Why not opt for an occasional chair in a daisy yellow or blush pink fabric for a bold yet practical nod to the seasonal trend.
While there may be more scope for adding colourful designs and fun accessories in your lounge spaces, it’s important to remember to give love to our more practical zones such as the kitchen. With many of us opting for an open plan kitchen-diner or kitchen-living space, we are spending more time than ever in the kitchen- even when we’re not playing chef. That’s why it’s just as important to pay attention to the finer details in these rooms and make them just as refined as our other living spaces.
Colourful glass and ceramic vases are a great way to bring a spring-inspired feel to your home. Place in the centre of your kitchen counter or window sill and just add freshly picked tulips for the ultimate colourful display.
It can sometimes be easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of a kitchen space. They are often zones where there is a lot going on and it can be hard to take a moment to step back and appreciate the room. That’s why an eye-catching piece of wall art is the perfect distraction to create a calming focal point in a busy environment. This is also a fool-proof way of adding those spring shades into a plain space.
Lastly, the bedroom- the perfect place to inject spring colours. Whether this is through bedding, rugs or even a statement piece of furniture, no amount of vibrancy is too much. Choose from a range of powdered down shades or opt for classic spring motifs to add a touch of spring charm to your space.
No matter what your style, there are plenty of ways to bring a spring-inspired feel to your home. From cushions and throws to occasional chairs and vases, there are plenty of ways to inject colour into your living space. With a few simple touches, you can create a spring-inspired atmosphere that will last all season long.
