People are ready to embrace longer days and warmer nights with spring approaching. The promise of renewal is enough to change a person’s entire outlook on life—or, at the very least, their design choices. If there’s one thing that the end of winter provides is a new look into trends that can liven up your home the way the spring thaw livens up everything else. So, what are the most prominent design trends you can indulge in this spring season?
Bold Hues to Liven Up the Place
Warm and muted neutrals will always be timeless. But that doesn’t mean you must sacrifice your personality in favour of monochromatic beiges. Adding bold hues is the best way to brighten up your space this year. And this year, the vibrant colours that made up old design staples from the 70s and 80s are back and better than ever.
If you want to take advantage of the bold new hues, why not add this year’s hottest colours, indigo and Pantone’s viva magenta? The great news is that you can add some vibrant statement pieces without changing your entire living space.
Standout Walls and Wallpaper
Turning an entire wall into an artistic masterpiece isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s one design trend you may see everywhere as spring rolls on. The idea is to pick a blank wall, use it as a canvas, and let your personality shine. Wallpaper, especially, is returning to interior design this year to make a focal wall a conversation piece at your next dinner party.
Not into the statement wall? Why not try understated yet bold wallpaper in the bathroom or kitchen? There are many ways to utilize wallpaper to breathe new life into your space. It’s so versatile that you can add colour and texture to the room of your choice using your newest favourite design tool.
Soft Silhouettes
Gone are the days of harsh lines and rectangles. Curves are all the rage this spring because they soften up any silhouette. You can add curves to your already-existing space by bringing in an arched statement mirror or a sofa with rounded edges.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can take the trend to the next level by carving out an arched entryway in your foyer or redoing your staircase. It’s all about seeing the trend, deciding where it fits in your space, and how you will accomplish the change.
Coastal Style is All the Rage
Remember when barn chic was the ‘it’ design choice? Well, those days are long gone, replaced with a coastal style that will add some much-needed texture to any space. Coastal design introduces various textures, such as natural wood, distressed surfaces, and terracotta.
It’s all about adding a little nature to your space. You want to include linen, reclaimed wood, jute, and as much or as little greenery as you can handle. The aesthetic cries lived in and can make any space feel like a beach house.
Mixing Genres
The whole matchy-matchy look is out. This spring, it’s all about mixing textures, metallics, bold prints and colours in a way that flows. Mix silver hardware with gold accents or geometric patterns with bold contrasted colours. The options are limitless because you can decide how mixed you want your style to be. It’s about taking the primed and ready neutral space and bringing it to life, just like the flowers in your garden.
These trends taking over this spring will help you take your home from neutral and muted to bold and full of personality. All that’s left to do is choose which one speaks to you the most.
