7 interior design trends for spring
Are you looking to update your home décor, but aren’t sure about where to find inspiration? How about creating a spring-inspired home décor for the new season, that can work all year round! Spring is well-known for its beautiful floral patterns, flowers in bloom and warm colour palettes, all of which makes for an uplifting and aesthetic home décor. From bright floral bouquets to new window shades, here’s how to refresh your home décor for spring on a budget.
Bring the outdoors inside
One of the biggest interior design trends recently is the idea of bringing the outside in. With apartment living on the rise and backyards getting smaller, it makes sense that people are missing their connection and access to nature while at home.
While nothing will truly replace the feel of being immersed in the great outdoors, there are a few ways you can incorporate natural design elements and décor items that give your home the feeling of having a connection to nature.
If you’re not sure how to create a home décor that’s aesthetic and inspired by nature, keep reading for our top tips on interior design inspired by spring!
Bring spring into your home with flowers
If you love being surrounded by blooming flowers, but don’t have the space for your own flower garden, why not head to your local market and add a few colourful bunches to your home? Flowers are a great spring decoration idea and are the perfect way to add pops of colour to your space in a simple way. Try arranging them in a pretty vase or mason jar and enjoy the sight and smell of springtime!
Indoor plants
If bouquets of flowers aren’t to your taste, but you love having some of the outdoors inside your home, why not go for a few indoor plants?
Spring is the season of renewal, making it the perfect time to add life in the form of the humble house plants. A good dose of greenery can breathe life into your home, instantly lifting it and making it feel fresh and inviting. Appearances aside, who can say no to the endless health and wellness benefits they bring? Hello fresh air!
From the ever-popular succulent to the show-stopping fiddle leaf fig, the choice of plant is yours! If you don’t have much of a green thumb, opt for plants like the ZZ plant, snake plant, spider lily or peace plant, which are all notoriously low maintenance indoor plants.
Indoor plants can be a bit temperamental and often are very needy, so it’s important to make sure to choose the right plant for the light and water you can provide it. Some house plants love water, others like a drink every so often. Some plants want a light and sunny location, whereas others like a dark part of the house to hide in.
Another option if you love the look of indoor plants, but don’t want the responsibility, opt for fake indoor plants! Plastic indoor plants can look very realistic and add pops of colour to your room, without the worry of them not surviving.Utilising natural light
Another element of the current interior design trend to bring the outdoors in, is utilising the natural light. Other than being a way to lower your electricity bills, natural light is also great for your health as well as the aesthetic of your home!
Natural light helps our bodies to naturally increase levels of vitamin D, which you can get from exposure to sunlight, as well as make us feel more awake, happier, and overall, more connected to the outside world.
Freshen up your space with new window coverings
Another way to freshen up your space and make it feel like it’s blooming this spring is to change up your window coverings. There are many types of curtains and blinds on the market that can make a statement as well as suit your needs and budget!
One of the most popular blind options is roller blinds. Roller blinds are a versatile and very affordable blind, available in many fabric options, colour choices and even two motorisation options – Eve MotionBlinds and the ABC Blinds SmartHub.
Roller blinds are a great option for any room in your home as well as being a great option to pair with sheer curtains for additional light control and privacy.
Another option to help make the most of spring’s glorious sunshine, is Vertisheer blinds. Combining the soft elegance of a sheer curtain with the functionality of a Vertical blind, this part-curtain-part-blind allows light and warmth through your windows with ease. As an added benefit, you don’t have to compromise on privacy!
These stylish window treatments are also available in plenty of new season colours to both complement your current décor and help you incorporate new trends.
Another great window covering to give you plenty of natural light and privacy is plantation shutters. White shutters continue to be one of the most on-trend choices when it comes to spring window coverings. Not only do these stylish shades match any spring home décor, but they also provide optimum light and privacy control. So, if you’ve still got heavy drapes over your windows, it might be time to change things up with some beautiful Plantation shutters.
Spruce your space with throw pillows
Throw pillows are one of the best interior design hacks as they are a cheap and simple way to make a statement in your home!
Spring and summer call for lots of bright, uplifting colours to match the festive feeling of the warmer months! It’s also the perfect time to add in floral patterns and materials to reflect the new season of beautiful blooming flowers!
Instead of buying whole new cushions each time you want to refresh your home interior design, try just purchasing cushion covers in the colours or patterns you’re after! This not only saves you money, but also reduces clutter and storage issues you might have with too many cushion options!
Add in textures and patterns
To add a sense of depth to your interior design, try to incorporate textures into your space. Textures are a great way to add in different elements, make a statement and create a natural feel in your home. To add in spring-inspired textures, you could try to find décor items such as anything that has 3D floral patterns or even leaf patterns, swirls, or even organic lines can give a more subtle hint of spring floral inspiration.

Styling your home with floor rugs
While we’re in the world of soft furnishings, we can’t go past a classic throw rug. Adding a new throw to your bed or couch is a great way to incorporate the latest interior design trends into your home, while on a budget. Spring decorating ideas work well with rugs as they can be a subtle way to add in some colour and pattern to a space if you’d prefer it in moderation. Having a nice clean space, with a colourful or patterned rug can make a statement and brighten up your room!
