Spring into action: Change up your style this season

Article by Your Home and Garden

If you need a reason, a change of season is the perfect excuse to change things up throughout the house.

The start of spring heralds a change in weather and mindset, making it the perfect time to revamp your home interiors with rich seasonal hues and fresh decorative accents.

In collaboration with Shop Your Home and Garden, we’ve curated five spring-themed looks for a variety of indoor and outdoor living spaces to spark your creativity. From setting the dining table to upgrading your bedding, read on for all your spring homewares and furniture inspiration.

1. The dining room

Nothing says spring style like a fresh tablecloth and napery. Vases are essential here for capturing the floral blooms from the garden; fill generously and frequently to make the most of the season. Make sure your wine glasses and tumblers are in healthy supply for after-dinner drinks, and a little well-stocked olive bowl or two never goes astray.

2. The living area

Earthy tones with brass accents that highlight the soft light perfectly encapsulate the essence of spring style. For those looking to create an inviting nook for evening retreats, invest in natural materials and soft textures to maximise comfort and style. Lastly, a gorgeous artwork adds vibrancy and never goes unnoticed.

3. The bedroom

Warm, buttery neutrals are still our favourite way to unwind at the end of the day. From earthy browns to terracotta reds, pamper yourself with a bedroom good enough to spend a Sunday in (especially with soft linen bedding). Matching an art print to your bedding helps tie the overall look together, ensuring a cohesive interior throughout.

TIP: You’ll never go wrong with warm tones paired with earthy neutrals in a bedroom.

There’s no better place to be than outside during the glorious springtime.

Add a burst of colour with blues and green tones and wait for the tūis to flock to your doorstep.
