How to bring the outside into your home for spring!

Bringing the outside into your home for spring is a wonderful way to infuse your space with the freshness and vitality of the season. Here are some ideas to help you accomplish this. 

Incorporate natural materials

Use natural materials such as wood, stone, rattan, and bamboo in your decor to mimic the textures and elements found in nature. This can include wooden furniture, stone worktops or accents, and woven baskets or rugs. Bring plants and flowers indoors create a lush and vibrant atmosphere. Place potted plants on windowsills, shelves, and tables, and consider hanging baskets or installing wall-mounted planters to maximize space. Choose a variety of plants with different shapes, sizes, and textures to add visual interest. Place fresh-cut flowers in vases throughout your home to add colour, fragrance, and a sense of seasonal beauty. You could choose flowers from your own garden or pick up a small bouquet.

Use Natural Colours 

Choose a colour palette inspired by the outdoors, such as soft greens, sky blues, sunny yellows, and earthy neutrals. These colours evoke the feeling of spring and help create a sense of harmony and balance within your home. Make the most of natural light by removing heavy curtains or blinds and opting for sheer or lightweight window treatments instead. Arrange furniture to maximize sunlight exposure and consider adding mirrors to reflect light and create the illusion of a larger space.

Create an outdoor inspired space. 

Set up a cosy reading nook near a window with a view of your garden or set up a seating area on your patio or balcony where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Decorate these spaces with outdoor-inspired elements such as weather-resistant furniture, outdoor rugs, and cushions in botanical prints.
