Spring Trends
Spring is finally here, and we're thrilled to leave the winter blues behind!
It's time to welcome beautiful pastel shades, playful patterns and a sense of freshness into our homes. This season brings the perfect opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate, whether that's experimenting with new colours, dipping your toes into the latest trends or enjoying a well-needed declutter and reset.
Explore some of our favourite trends for the season and discover how to brighten your home for the sunnier days ahead.
Butter Yellow
You may already be familiar with butter yellow, officially making its mark on the interiors world in 2024, but it's not going anywhere yet!
Comforting and inviting, this new neautral evokes feelings of nostalgia and familiarity, whilst remaining incredibly versatile.
At the start of 2025, Kitchen Aid introduced butter as its 'Colour Of The Year', adding an indulgent, new design to their timeless mixer collection.
The joyful hue is a natural fit for the kitchen but also blends seamlessly in bathrooms, bedrooms and outdoors whether on the walls, floors or as curated accessories.
With no boundaries, this sophisticated shade can define busy spaces or add subtle, elegant touches of colour throughout your home.
Stripes for Spring
Pinstripes, pencil of bold and chunky, whatever your style, 2025 is officially the year of the stripe!
Playful patterns have a unique ability to infuse energy and visual interest into any space, making stripes perfect for a spring refresh.
From upholstered furniture and wallpaper to rugs and carpets, stripes are proving that there's little they can't do.
"Stripes are going nowhere and in fact, we're going to see even bigger and bolder uses of them. From full rooms to bolder colours and investments into statement furniture set against complementary backdrops. If you're still a little nervous to bring them into your home but love the look, start small. I don't think you'll regret it."

Colour Drenching
A quick scroll through Instagram is enough to make us want to pick up a paintbrush and infuse colour into our homes.
Many DIY'ers embrace spring as the best opportunity to tackle interior updates that have been on the to-do list for ages, and colour drenching should be a key focus.
But once all the messy tasks are done, it's important not to forget the details.
Colour drenching isn't limited to paint - carpets, rugs, runners and accessories are also fantastic ways to extend the aesthetic, adding further depth and texture to your space.
This approach works beautifully in both small areas and large rooms in need of a little personality.
Traditional Spaces
As the weather warms up, we naturally want to spend more time outdoors. Blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors to connect with nature has never been easier.
This spring, look to garden rooms and sunrooms for inspiration. Refresh cold entryways with lush green and botanical patterns, or brighten your home office with sunnier hues and tactile textures, through natural carpets and warm woods.
Perfectly complementing the rise of Japandi style, transitional spaces create a seamless flow between indoors and outside.
So when the air turns crisp, nature's beauty isn't too far out of reach.
The Perfect Host
Brighter evenings and longer days encourage our inner hosts to reveal themselves.
Think outdoor entertaining, uncovering last year's garden furniture and adding pops of colour through outdoor rugs and scatter cushions.
Or if it’s still a little too cold to embrace the outdoors, set up the tablescape of dreams for your guests, with pops of pastels and muted hues, the finest glassware, and not forgetting a delicious spread.
A Touch of Nancy Meyers
A timeless yet elegant style that feels especially refreshing this time of year. Interiors with a touch of Nancy Meyers magic create spaces that feel effortlessly inviting. Just right for spring, when flowers begin to bloom, herbs flourish in the garden, and an abundance of natural light beams through the windows.
This aesthetic is all about welcoming thoughtful little touches that truly make a house feel like a home. Pair with sisal textures, traditional ticking stripes and open shelving, to create a living space that feels curated and cosy but not overly designed.
