Spring is a breath of fresh air after the dark of winter – it’s sunlight dancing through curtains, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of fresh flowers, new shoots in the garden, cotton on your skin. It’s the season of renewal, when nature, and your home, awakens. The perfect invitation for a refresh.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss simple ideas to infuse your space with all the beauty and joy of spring to celebrate the new season.
Shed winter’s heaviness with a spot of decluttering. The colder seasons often have us saving, collecting and layering, leaving us with a house full of stuff we might not need.
Decluttering is not just a chore, but an important step in making your home feel lighter for the new season. Lovingly donating, giving away and keeping what brings us joy is a transformational way to love and care for your home. If it feels like a big task, tackle one area at a time so it doesn’t become overwhelming. Just like the new leaves unfurling on the trees, decluttering is the first step to a fresh start and the chance to begin anew.
New storage solutions can breathe life into your home. A beautiful but practical cabinet or a bench with a shelf can hide clutter whilst adding warmth and charm.
Spring’s colour story revolves around soft pastels, fresh greens and golden hues. Picture the soft blush of cherry blossoms, the warm yellow glow of daffodils, the serene blue sky, and the fresh green grass, each reminiscent of springtime. No matter what your interiors style, there’s always a way to weave these colours in to welcome the new season.
"Spring’s colour palette is all about renewal and optimism," says Sarah McCann, our product and trend specialist. "Soft pastels and nature-inspired hues not only reflect the season’s beauty but also create a sense of freshness and lightness in the home. This season we’re seeing a shift toward organic textures and layered tonal colours to bring a harmonious and uplifting feel to interiors."
Soft furnishing swaps are one of the easiest ways to do this. Replace your dark, moody textiles for lighter versions, like cotton throws in grass green, light linen cushions and even airy curtains. Whether you subtly layer spring’s colours in or boldly showcase them within your space, incorporating this fresh palette with intention will breathe new life into your home.

Nature is the ultimate designer, from charming fauna to lush greenery. There are lots of ways that you can bring her beautiful designs into your space for the new season, including through colour, print and material choices.
We love an element of whimsy to our interiors, so you’ll find lots of charismatic characters from nature gracing our cushions and popping up in our patterns. Our wooden sculptures might just be the perfect addition to put a smile on your face even before your morning coffee.
If you’d prefer to be bathed in green, then use trailing potted plants, ferns or vintage vases brimming with wildflowers on top of green textiles and botanical prints to give you that drenched-in-nature feel.
“One of my favourite ways to incorporate green is through pairing with similar neutral tones like cream, brown, or light grey to create an effortlessly relaxing palette,” says Sarah. “When pairing colours, it's essential to consider the depth of each shade. For lighter green hues such as mint or sage, I suggest pairing with natural wood accents and a mid-tone grey. The grey adds sophistication, allowing the vibrant and soothing green hues to take centre stage through furnishings, cushions and lampshades. This combination ensures that both colours blend harmoniously, resulting in a beautifully balanced environment.”
The power of light and air to transform a space shouldn’t be underestimated.
The simple act of opening the window can move the air around a space and lend a freshness to your home that can’t be replicated. Build on this through light, cotton curtains that move with the breeze, and with the glow of golden hour streaming through the window, you’ll feel like you’re in a new room.
Create a warm and welcoming feeling into the evening with statement lighting. Whether you feel you need an extra lamp to help you finish your book when the sun goes down, or just to enhance the tranquil glow that you’ve created, a lamp with a nature-inspired shade could be all that you need.
Small daily pleasures turn a house into a sanctuary, and there’s no better time to start than spring – the season of renewal.
It could be curating a coffee nook, setting a spring-inspired table or creating a reading corner in your favourite corner of the garden, complete with a cosy rug, outdoor cushions and a throw to snuggle into when it gets chilly.
As spring unfolds, let your home evolve alongside it - lighter, fresher, and filled with the simple joys of the season. Whether through subtle swaps or bold statements, every touch can make your home feel completely different.
