Spring is officially here. This season is all about renewal, making it the perfect time to refresh your home décor. Here are the new trends you can adopt this spring to revitalise your living space.
Eclectic interiors
This spring marks a departure from the stark simplicity of 2023’s minimalism, giving rise to eclectic interiors that exude personality and individuality. Rejecting uniformity, homeowners are embracing spaces that feel authentically lived in and curated with a blend of vintage treasures and contemporary elements. This trend celebrates sustainability as vintage pieces find new life, adding character and charm to interiors while reducing environmental impact. Mixing and matching features from different design periods create visually dynamic spaces where each piece tells a story and contributes to the narrative of the home.

Bold wallpapers
This spring, the rise of maximalist decor ushers in a new era of bold and vibrant wallpapers, setting the stage for an exciting fusion of retro patterns and contemporary design elements. Moving away from the stark minimalism of previous years, homeowners are becoming more confident with bold interiors, opting for exciting patterns and prints over neutral aesthetics.
This interior trend isn’t just limited to lounges – we are seeing a departure from the prevalent cool greys and sleek whites that have dominated bathroom palettes, shifting instead towards warmer, bolder, and more vibrant wallpapers. From bold floral and botanical prints to whimsical and kitschy patterns evocative of the 1970s - or even a colourful twist on the classic stripe - wallpapers are taking centre stage as statement pieces that give living spaces new life. Embrace the bold wallpaper trend this spring to create visually dynamic and utterly captivating interiors that express your personality.

A resurgence of mid-century modern design
This spring, we are also seeing a resurgence of mid-century modern design. This is a great alternative trend for homeowners who prefer more simple and clean aesthetics. Renowned for its timeless appeal, this style is distinguished by its clean lines, use of warm wooden materials such as teak and oak, and an emphasis on simplicity and functionality.
Curved edges combined with bold accent colours, or wood mixed with materials such as metal and glass are characteristic of the style. Moving away sharp, geometric designs, curves and rounded edges are give a sense of softness and fluidity to interiors. From round tables and cabinetry to curved rugs and archways, this trend introduces a gentle, inviting aesthetic to add a sense of comfort and relaxation within the home. Embracing these elements of craftsmanship and curvature allows for the creation of spaces that feel both timeless and welcoming, building an attractive, functional style.

Decorative lighting
Decorative lighting is emerging as a focal point in interior design this year, offering an opportunity to enhance the ambiance and aesthetic appeal of living spaces. As part of the maximalist trend, lighting fixtures are becoming more elaborate and artistic, serving as statement pieces that contribute to the overall design scheme. From intricately designed chandeliers to diner-style pendant lights and sculptural lights and lamps, decorative lighting adds a touch of drama and personality to rooms, elevating their visual appeal.
