Spring is all about fresh starts and spring-cleaned closets (maybe). Refreshing and revamping your space is a great way to bring the spring-like vibes in, and lift spirits while you’re at it.

It’s no surprise that this season is all about colour and fun, and we’re here for it. This isn’t about do-overs, it’s about doing little things to shake up your space. So let’s bring the energy with four top homewares trends for your home this spring. 

Fluid curves in neutral tones 


This first trend is a great all-rounder. Shapewear is on the rise (no, we’re not talking about that shapewear). You’ll see curved mirrors, circular cushions and mushroom dome lamps making themselves at home this season. While they can add a neutral yet modern twist to your decor, pair them with accents of colour for maximum impact. Think a bright wavy headboard with a natural bedding set.

Unique, colourful pieces



What about if you have minimal space but want to make maximum impact? Then have we got the trend for you. Bright, bespoke decorative pieces can draw the eye without the dreaded do-over of the whole space. 

Impactful artwork, colourful cushions, even a patterned tea towel can turn the drab into the delightful. If you’re looking for bold, unique pieces then shopping small is a great way to start. Bespoke makers are customising, creating and upcycling items that not only look different and unique, but also do good for people and the planet. Dream.

Hot tip- don’t worry about mixing and matching- power clashing hits different and it’s your style after all.

Natural, textured accents



Everyone has heard of Scandi design. But let us introduce to you ‘Japandi’- all of the sophisticated sleekness of Scandi design, combined with the natural textures of Japanese style. Merging modern styles with traditional materials, woven items like rattan and cane have been on trend for a while- and they’re settling right in for the season. 

Incorporating sleek furniture pieces like minimalist wooden stools, rattan chairs and cane lampshades can have you adding simple touches that pay off big time. Add lush greens and you’ve gone full Japandi (just try to keep them alive this time).

Shades of brown 



It might not be the first colour that springs to mind for the warmer seasons, but brown is having a serious moment. From honey and caramel to dark chocolate, there’s a range of hues to complement any taste, and you can mix and match items and colours because there are no rules (chocolate and rules don’t go together anyway, right?)

Fancy going one step further? Use different textures from throws to blankets to further contrast and give your home even more flavour. 

Then sit back and admire your efforts, soaking up the spring vibes in style.
