Spring decorating ideas for the new season
Delightful décor to put a spring in your step

Brighten walls

Set up a seasonal gallery wall with an array of prints using complementary spring tones. Pinks and greens will rejuvenate darker living room furniture if you pop on cushions that pick out the coherent display.
Level up your lighting

Spring, the season of rebirth, is the perfect time to revitalise your interior lighting setup. From coordinating wall and floor lamps, like these stylish orb designs from houseof, to pretty pastel shades in architectural silhouettes, play with contrasting colours and styles to see your living spaces in a whole new light this spring.
Hang a natural centrepiece

Brighten dark kitchen cabinets with the help of a seasonal centrepiece of lights and greenery. Lengths of cane have been fitted to this vintage-style pendant light and dressed with natural foliage. It makes an unusual and stunning focal point that pops against the quirky bubblegum pink walls. Just make sure the arrangement is secure and clear of any lightbulbs to be fire safe.
Delve into dark green

Soft green is a staple spring colour that's timeless but for a more on-trend look go for deeper shades such as emerald or forest green. Balance the richer tones with white and neutral colours to keep the look bright. This shapely pendant light and painted green panels make this bedroom a modern country masterpiece.
Paint your shutters

Provide a neutral bedroom with a hint of spring colour by painting your shutters a refreshing new shade. It's an uplifting alternative to white and can be colour-matched to another piece of furniture or wallpaper in the room so ties the window dressing into the scheme perfectly.
Transform the home office

If you've been homeworking all winter maybe it's time to fight fatigue with a tropical home office makeover. Paste a panel of vibrant and inspiring wallpaper behind your desk and roll in a rattan desk chair. Finish with colonial-style stationery supplies.
Host a garden party

Hold a garden party indoors with beautiful blinds that echo the new life that's growing outdoors. Mother Nature's palette of green and pink teamed on a white opaque background means the look won't dull if you need some privacy or shade.
Add colour in the bathroom

Embrace new trends in the bathroom by injecting the space with glorious pattern and colour. This hexagon tile feature wall is alive with trailing leafy and floral prints that carry an exquisite vintage twist. Let the bathroom tiles do the talking with a monochrome, clean-lined sink and simple frameless mirror.
Call in cane furniture

We've been seeing wicker and cane furniture both indoors and out in bundles lately. The warm natural tone teamed with soothing curved designs creates a retro-cool texture that suits spring palettes perfectly. Enhance the Californian vibe with pampas grass and dried flowers.
Create a home spa

Give the bathroom a spring makeover, by creating a soothing bathroom sanctuary with a selection of hardy houseplants. They will love the humid atmosphere of a bathroom and will oxygenate the small space too. Refresh the whole look with green fluffy towels and a bright leaf print shower curtain will complete the lush scheme.
Paint up furniture

Renew a drab piece of wooden furniture for spring with a few coats of pastel shade chalk paint. OK, this one is professionally finished, but with so many new furniture paint shades and manufacturers on the market you could pick up a bargain to upcycle and finish the project in a weekend.
Swap out a shade

Throw fresh light on a room with new lamp shades that are pretty and uplifting. Pastel hues paired with reflective surfaces will add a refreshing yet subtle injection of spring colour and luxury to a space.
Set a country scene

Introduce woodland spring cabin looks to your home with inexpensive shiplap or plywood painted crisp white. Although it's a pale backdrop, the textured addition will add a cosy vibe that is ultra-current. Add golden sunshine shades into the room with a comfortable corner sofa upholstered in yellow fabric.
Freshen fabrics

The quickest way to refresh your cottage kitchen-diner for spring is to add uplifting linens to your table. A crisp gingham runner is a country classic while layered crockery in the same tone will make a pretty table setting. If you have time add floral cushions to chairs and hang a new roller blind in the same pattern for ultimate 'cottagecore' luxury.
Mix sorbet tones

'Bee' happy in the bathroom

You don't need to give a decorating scheme a complete overhaul to inject the essence of spring. A few accessory swap-outs can make a refreshing difference too. Start and finish the day with well-being in mind by adding new towels and spring blooms to your bathroom and then take a break with honey-infused bathroom products stored and displayed on a warming wooden bath caddy.
Spruce up the front door

Breathe new life into your front door with a fresh coat of paint in a new striking colour. This rich indigo tone looks bright and invigorating teamed with gold coloured brass door furniture and a vibrant yellow floral spring wreath.
Add rose hues

If floral motives aren't for you then mimic the spring vibe by going for plain petal shades instead. Pink walls and pops of sunny yellow warm a room but keep the space bright and invigorating too. A statement herringbone floor is all the pattern needed for a touch of interest in this traditional living room.
Go for greenery

An easy way to shift a wintery scheme into spring is by incorporating nature itself. As buds and shoots begin to emerge outside, add a little plant power to your interiors as well. Display an array of houseplants across different levels for a charming, eclectic look. While real foliage is ideal, low-maintenance faux plants can look just as cheery.
Create a warm welcome

Turn up the texture

Show off a spring wreath

Don't restrict a decorative wreath to just Christmas. A welcoming touch whatever the season, this pretty design features pink and purple wildflowers that evoke the bountiful spring fields. Hang a seasonal wreath on the front door for a fragrant welcome or brighten up dark nooks with smaller versions around the house.
Set up sunny seating

Clash and contrast

Peachy pastels and greys can make a dream team in contemporary schemes. To clash patterns with confidence, mix and match accessories with different patterns in a similar tonal family for an eclectic feel. Here, an unusual colour combination of yellow, blue and pink make an unlikely yet harmonious match.
Select spring motifs

Bring the outdoors in by adding a seasonal theme to your kitchen crockery. Whether it's mugs, jugs or trays, choosing an on-trend spring emblem is a great way to liven up the breakfast table and put you in a good mood for the day ahead. We challenge anyone not to smile at this charming bee print!
Embrace blue sky thinking

Don't blow away the winter blues altogether – instead, put a spin on 2020's most popular colour trend by decorating with soothing shades of sky blue for an airy and spacious look. To let the walls take centre stage, bring in light grey seating and pair with pops of contrasting colours across your soft furnishings.
Spruce up garden furniture

Be bold with botanical wallpaper

Walls in need of a refresh? Instead of reaching for the paintbrush, opt for a gorgeous wallpaper with a botanical pattern. Use it as a backdrop for natural blonde wood furnishings and carry the theme through with botanical prints and nature-inspired trinkets.
Awaken walls with art

Make a moveable display

Repaint kitchen cupboards

Soothing minty green is the ultimate shade to bring spring indoors this season. If your kitchen is looking a little lacklustre, repaint cupboard doors with this versatile shade of pale green. Cost-effective and relatively straightforward, it's a great way to transform an uninspiring kitchen without splashing out.
Get garden rooms ready

It's time to awaken your garden: head out into your shed or outdoor room and dust away cobwebs, spruce up your tools and have a general tidy up. Inspect the building itself and if necessary repair and protect external walls. Inside, give internal surfaces a fresh lick of paint and add a few touches to make the space feel homely – we love this pretty pair of leaf-print curtains.
Overhaul your hallway

Work wonders with white

Give your living room a refreshing lift by dressing up a neutral white scheme with bright spring shades. Here, warm sunshine yellow and vibrant green bring the hues of the garden indoors. Carefully coordinated accessories like the gold candle holders, vases and lamp complete the look. The best bit? These can easily be swapped out for darker furnishings when autumn rolls around.
Give cushions a seasonal update

Lighten up window dressings

Makeover with a mural

To add a little atmosphere to an uninspiring room, opt for a bright and seasonal wall mural – this meadow scene in soft watercolour tones creates a tranquil focal point. Use pale yellows, blues and oranges to pull the look together, echoing the key hues of the mural across your furnishings.
Update pendant lights

For an easy spring makeover, update decorative lampshades and pendants with something lighter for the warmer months. These soft, two-tone fixtures are the perfect way to frame an Easter dining table with their simple, fluted shape.
Renew kitchen linens

Add a lick of paint

Pair pink and green

Elegant and uplifting, pink and green is a classic springtime combo. Referencing petals and foliage, it's the perfect palette to refresh traditional or country schemes for the season ahead. Whether you add green cushions to a pink sofa, hang lightweight curtains with blossom prints or simply add a huge vase of hyacinths and tulips to your side table, you can't go wrong with this colour duo.
Plump for a paint effect

If you're feeling daring, there's no need to stick to one spring shade on your walls. This stunning pastel paint effect in an adventurous geometric design makes an amazing focal point. Cushions in the same soft hues complete the scheme, while a gold side table and pendant light add a lustrous finish.
Show off glorious glassware

Style up the nightstand

Revive a winter scheme

Purchase pretty bed linen

Run with white and yellow

Create a seasonal centrepiece

Swap out spice-scented winter candles for lighter versions that will fill a room with fresh petals, soft cotton and cut grass.

How adorable is the little climbing Easter bunny on the side?
Reorganise the utility room

Give ceramics a facelift

Go full-on with flowers

Create a spring dining table that will steal the show. Start with a lavender tablecloth and create a wow-factor centrepiece with an explosion of bright blooms. Position tall vases and a string of foliage along the table runner and hide surprise chocolate eggs for Easter. Decorative painted eggs on dinner plates will add a personalised finish.
Add a sprinkling of Scandi

Pick pastel hues

From dusky pinks to pale blues, pastel interiors continue to catch our eye and take over our Instagram feeds. A linen sofa layered with soft pastel cushions will give a neutral living room a pretty pink update. Pair with a display of architectural vases and candle holders in similar hues for a coordinating focal point.
Try two-tone

For quirky home décor inspiration, head for the riotous hues and clashing patterns of Mexico and Central America. These bright and beautiful bathroom towels and accessories in an array of vibrant designs make an easy update for a plain white bathroom.
Commit to clean lines

Go for gorgeous greens

For a muted green scheme, this season is awash with soft sage, mint and contrasting duck egg blue tones that pull together to create a delicate, serene space. If you have a neutral scheme that feels like it’s lacking personality, pale green tones will invigorate the space without overpowering it.
Invigorate a grey bedroom

Even spring can have a few cloudy days! This pretty bedroom with printed motif bed linen just goes to show that a meadow of wild spring flowers won't fade against a grey backdrop. In fact, the colours pop and brighten the space all the more.
