How to Bring Spring Into Your Home
Add a dash of spring freshness with floral motifs, vibrant furniture and some good living tips
Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year for me – it reminds me of everything sunny, green and happy! There is no better time than now to bid adieu to the dull winter greys and invite the new season’s cheery brightness into our homes with vivid colours, perky patterns, and lively springtime motifs.
…and refreshing patterns
Wallpapers are not only a quick (and a fantastic) fix for dreary walls, they are easy to maintain too. So if spring is at the door and you want to invite it inside, consider using floral patterned wallpaper on an accent wall. In this room, the pastel shades of the furnishings and the wallpaper fill the space with a touch of lightness.

You can even etch a motif or add a decal to the wall. The lucent blue and green hues of the peacock add springtime freshness to the space. It is complemented by the bedspread and cushions, and draws the eye to the greens outside the window.

Reupholster
Consider hues of yellow and red to bring in some brightness to your decor. It could be through some new upholstery for a dated chair or even for tired couches. The all-white interiors of this living space combined with vibrant accent furniture pack a punch and remind me of mustard fields, a bed of red roses and so many things ‘springy’. Be daring! It works.

Accessorise
Most of us know and love the twinkling lights of fireflies lighting up the springtime dusk. Dangling from the ceiling, these loosely clustered lights, though much bigger than fireflies, bring out gentle glimmering patterns. The intricate ornamental openwork looks elegant and will bathe your space in a golden springtime sheen.

Make a splash
It’s sunny outside and the water’s lovely. It’s time for a swim! Of course, after the winter feasts, spring is also a good time to exercise and get back into shape. Make your swim a daily habit and make the most of those precious springtime hours.

Green up the pergola
Pergolas and outdoor seating spaces centre around bonfires in winter. Now it’s time to get them spring-ready. The green quotient is upped here with lush creepers and shrubs, which can be planted permanently. Add some potted plants for a start. What better way to spend a mellow evening than in a breezy outdoor space with rustling leaves and swaying vines?

Lounge in the balcony
The transitional season of spring is the time when you can enjoy the outdoors the most. It’s not too cold for evening tea on the balcony and not too hot for a mid-morning snooze. Make the most of your balcony space to entertain friends and guests, or to lounge with a good book.

Fresh flowers are perhaps one of the simplest ways to bring spring into your home. And possibly also the most economical. This simple flower arrangement has a variety of colours from subtle pink to deeper hues of purple and blue to sunny yellow and fresh green to take you through the colour wheel of spring. Springtime blossoms will add a delightful splash of freshness and bring in a whiff of gentle fragrance too.
Tip: Adorn the windowsill or ledge with a little floral garden. You can plant a windowbox or pots with your favourite daisies, roses or seasonal flowers.
