Preparing your home for spring

After a tough year, there's renewed optimism in the air. With warm weather approaching and the chance to enjoy it with friends and family, it's time to refresh your home. After months of closed doors, now is the perfect moment for a spring clean and to breathe new life into your space. Your home, much like your social life, is ready to wake up from its winter hibernation—and bloom!

Explore coastal style

We could all use a tropical holiday right about now, though international getaways may have to wait a bit longer. In the meantime, refreshing your home with coastal or tropical styles can offer the same sense of escape. As they say, a change is as good as a rest.

One way to bring the beach house to your home is through woven and natural materials. Rattan, wicker, and cane furniture add a relaxed, laid-back vibe both indoors and out. The Astrid Armchair offers a light, airy aesthetic perfect for coastal living. Paired with the Esplanade Dining Table, its natural tones and clean lines evoke a warm, beachy atmosphere, ideal for creating a relaxed space for dining or socialising.

Make Spaces for Day Naps and Downtime

As we emerge from months of strict social distancing, many of us are feeling anxious. A thoughtful host can create quiet spots for guests to enjoy a moment of rest before rejoining the group. A daybed, recliner, or cosy couch that doubles as a reading nook is perfect for this. It also gives you a peaceful space to unwind when guests are gone. Ideal for a quick nap after time in the sun, a daybed should combine style with Goldilocks-level comfort, whether indoors or outdoors.

The Freya Occasional Chair offers a perfect spot for solitary relaxation with its soft fabric and welcoming shape that cradles you as you rest. For a more dramatic lounging experience, the Sorrento Arctic 3 Seater Cloud Sofa provides dreamy comfort and a striking visual appeal.

When styling a daybed, keep it simple. A few cushions and a light throw rug are all you need to make the space inviting without overwhelming it, ensuring it remains a restful retreat for you and your guests.

Embrace Colour

The days of low-contrast everything are fading, replaced by bold, confident layers of colour. This spring, it's time to bring more vibrancy into your home. A rich velvet sofa, like the Empress 3-Seater or Vogue Sofa, adds a dramatic touch of colour to any space. If you're not ready for full-on colour, start small with statement cushions or bold art pieces, like our stunning wall art, to gradually introduce brightness into your decor.

Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking…

Perhaps not, but going all out with cut flowers and houseplants on a mantelpiece, shelf, or sideboard is a refreshing take for Spring. Like mixing clashing patterns to create a bold outfit, try combining bouquets and potted plants in different colours, textures, and heights for a greenhouse-inspired vibe. Add even more interest with a variety of vases.

Pair matching styles for a cohesive look or go for a truly eclectic mix to create visual contrast. No need to worry about upkeep – our strikingly realistic artificial plants bring greenery to your home without the maintenance. Faux flowers also avoid overwhelming scents, making them perfect for a lush display used generously.
