The Spring Edit
Kiss those gloomy days and chilly nights goodbye as we can finally welcome just about everybody’s favourite time of year – Spring 🌻
The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and it would appear we can finally say goodbye to winter and enjoy the season of joy, rebirth, and love. Spring brings with it a whole host of opportunities, including the best excuse in the world, to change up your homes colour scheme, lighting, and décor.
A few simple changes can significantly affect, in a positive way, your home’s overall appearance and mood. Spring is about new beginnings, flowers in bloom, and sunlight streaming through your windows.
A great place to start is with a declutter and what’s famously known as a spring clean. There is no better feeling than getting rid of the dreariness of winter! Pack away any heavy blankets, throws, and rugs. Remove the heavier layers and introduce lighter layers such as cotton or linen for a fresh spring feel.
Not only will this make your space feel lighter and brighter, but it’s also a great way to change up the colour palette. So, kiss those gloomy days and chilly nights goodbye as we reveal how to update your interior for Spring.
Colour Your World
Gone are winter’s dark and dreary colours; it’s time to start thinking about light, bright, airy hues.
Introduce a fresh colour palette to your home by adding new cushions, throws, or lamps in on-trend Spring colours. Blush pink, sage green, and lemon yellow are all perfect colours to inject some life into your home to greet the new season with open arms.
We’re not saying to give your space an entire, costly revamp. However, simply adding a quilt cover, vase, lamp, cushion, or even a piece of art in Spring colours can make all the difference and are easily swapped out when you’re ready for a change.

Texture? Yes Please!
Incorporating different textures is a great way to add interest and depth to your space. When the darker hues of winter lingered in your throw blankets, cushions, or even curtains, replace them with some Spring inspired textiles and watch your space transform.
Mixing and matching different fabrics can also be a fun way to play with colour and pattern. Choose something that speaks to you and makes you happy. After all, this season is all about happiness, growth, and starting afresh.

Let There Be Light
Spring is all about sunshine and longer days, so make the most of it by letting as much natural light into your home as possible.
Open those curtains and blinds and let the sunshine in! If you don’t have access to a lot of natural light, consider investing in some lighter-coloured lampshades or even some fairy lights to brighten up your space.
Another way to brighten your space is by opting for home decor pieces that reflect the light, such as mirrors, glass vases, and bowls.

Spring Vibes
You may have coordinated your furniture to be closer together for extra warmth during the Winter months, but now is the time to start thinking about how to create more space.
Channel the airy, calming vibes you’d find yourself amongst on a Summer Holiday in Fiji or other tropical destinations and start planning how to achieve that in your home … because who doesn’t want to feel like they’re on holiday all year round?
You could move your sofa away from the wall to create a more open and inviting feel or try floating your furniture in the middle of the room.

Bring the Outdoors In
One of the best things about Spring is that you can finally start spending more time outdoors. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you must leave all the good vibes behind. Instead, bring the outdoors inside by adding a few artificial plants and flower arrangements.
Adding greenery into your home for Spring is a great way to add a pop of colour and life to your space and the range of artificial plants and flowers at Bed Bath ‘n Table is fabulous!
