With spring just around the corner it’ll soon be time to say goodbye to the winter blues and hello to some warmer weather and sunshine. With this in mind, now’s the time to prepare your home for the new season with our top 5 spring decor ideas. These are just a few of our favourite ideas for decorating your home for spring:
Enhance Natural Light With Mirrors
One of the reasons we love spring so much is the brighter days and warmer weather. That’s why one of our best spring decor ideas is to make the most of the natural light that enters your home by using mirrors. Mirrors can be used to make the room look larger and lighter by reflecting the natural light that enters through the windows. Full length leaner mirrors such as the Layla and Thomas Mirror are perfect for bringing light into a space, whilst making a practical addition to the bedroom or living room. In smaller spaces, wall mirrors are ideal for adding a touch of brightness without taking up too much room. Just remember to declutter all your window spaces to ensure that none of the natural light is blocked from getting in.
Swap Out Heavy Throws For Lighter Versions
Thick, fluffy throws are perfect for keeping you cosy in the winter, however they’re likely to be a little too much for the warmer weather in the springtime. We’re not suggesting removing soft furnishings as these are crucial for making a house a home. However, we would suggest swapping out your heavier blankets and throws for more lightweight versions that are better suited to the change of season. Whilst our cosy Brecon Throws are perfect for the winter weather, we’d recommend our Rowden Throws as a much more suitable option for your spring decor ideas. They are available in Red Brick, Grey Stone or French Blue to complement your style.
Add Flowers & Greenery
When we think of the springtime one of the first images that comes to mind is beautiful, colourful flowers. That’s why one of the most essential spring decor ideas is introducing plenty of greenery and floral accessories into your living space. Pot plants (faux or real!) are an easy yet effective option for adding greenery, and you can’t miss our Dried Flowers for adding a subtle hint of natural decor. All hand selected, we have an elegant range of dried grasses and wildflower bouquets. Just choose a gorgeous vase to complement your florals and you’ve got yourself some gorgeous spring decor.
Declutter & Freshen The Space With Storage Baskets
Spring is the perfect time to have a clear out and declutter. With this in mind, another one of our favourite spring decor ideas is creating new storage solutions that will help you declutter and freshen up your living space in the spirit of the season. Woven Storage Baskets are a lovely option for spring home decor, as their texture is ideal for introducing natural elements into the room, whilst offering practical storage for your household belongings. The Arden Woven Storage Baskets are made from a bamboo and rattan weave that creates a gorgeous texture whilst offering ample storage for belongings or for use as a planter.
Introduce Bright Accents
Bring the colours of spring into your home by adding accents of colours through cushions, statement furniture and other home accessories. You don’t need to completely repaint your house or transform the decor scheme. Simply adding a few pops of colour here and there will completely lift the space and brush away the winter blues. Our Sunshine Pouffe is a great option for incorporating into your spring decor ideas. Featuring a stylish contemporary pattern, this cotton pouffe is finished in a gorgeous yellow ochre that perfectly fits the colours of spring. Not to mention it makes a luxuriously comfortable foot rest or extra piece of seating.
