Home Decor Trends for Spring

As the blue and white tints of winter finally clear, shades of spring can be found rousing from hibernation. Out with heavy drapes and slate greys, and in with a fresh palette of pastels, purposeful vibrant brights, statement touches, and fabulous foliage.

Your space should evolve with the season. What softens the blow of winter winds and early evenings may hamper the enjoyment of those fresh yellow and green blossoms. So get ready with these home décor trends for spring.

Brushed Gold & Cream

Metallic brushed gold accessories, gilded furnishings, gold-threaded fabrics, and shiny brass accents introduce a sense of luxury and drama to a room. While brushed gold tones fall on the warm side of the colour wheel, they easily mix with most colour palettes and especially work well with shadowy cream neutrals that allow their sparkle to really shine. For a hint of colour, blush flowers such as peonies and garden roses look stunning as centerpieces and usher in spring into your interior.

The trick for this spring trend is to hint rather than overload—carving out the space to inhale before the blaze of summer sets in.

Vibrant Brights

Color can set the tone for an entire room, whether you want to ramp up the energy for lively dinner conversation, or create a zen-like sanctuary for relaxation. Vibrant bright pieces or artwork are a great way of adding and raising the energy in a room especially when comes with the right balance of décor and furnishings.

As this 39 Brant Street Condo shows, you need not shy away from pops of vibrant colour. Upholstery that pairs burnt red-orange with a bold blue creates a focal point in this seating area that practically vibrates with energy, while the soothing wall shade of dark grey adds a sophisticated touch that balances the entire scene.

Statement Kitchens

While a zen kitchen will likely have soft, neutral colors, such as clean white walls that open up the room, beige, tan, and green accents added on the cabinets and countertops are focused in nature and soothing to the eyes. Add contemporary touches with unique pendant lighting, hints of steel, and splashy subway tiles. You can also add accents in the form of appliances, thoughtful ornamentation, or even the clever use of contrasting décor items on a cleared countertop.

Fabulous Foliage

Of course, vibrant brights may not for everyone, and for those who prefer sleek greys and chalky whites - brighter moments can still be found by inviting the outdoors in with ample foliage. 

Larger greens offer bigger statements, making mother nature pop when you place houseplants against a scene of stripped back wood, natural stone, sand and greys.

oPen plan living

Open plan living is symptomatic of a change in modern lifestyles, and as the world has spent more time at home, it has meant that a critical eye has been cast on layout and flow. Shying away from a major renovation, step back, take a fresh look at your home, and imagine maximizing your current floor plan by clear any unwanted furniture and items that you have been meaning to get rid of for years and create a more open space that will allow yourself and any family members to move freely around the home with more fluidity, and make the space feel more open and airy.

A recurring theme for this year is to step outside boundaries and take chances when it comes to your spring designs. After all, a home is far from a stagnant thing - it should adapt as the seasons change and create a fresh, inspiring place to start each day.
