Every time the seasons change, it’s an opportunity to refresh your home decor. While we’re not suggesting a complete change of furniture or a new coat of paint when winter turns to spring, it’s amazing what you can do with a few well-chosen home accessories. In this post, we’ll look at the seasonal updates that make all the difference.
Spring: Light and Fresh
As you ease out of winter, it’s time to embrace the lightness of spring. Swap out heavy winter textiles in favour of paler colours and fabrics such as cotton or linen. Stock up on glass vases, ready to be filled with tulips or daffodils. And on your floors? Whether you prefer modern carpets or vintage rugs, consider replacing dark colours and heavy materials with pastel shades and natural fibres to conjure up a springtime aesthetic.
Summer: Bold and Bright
Summer is a time to celebrate bright colour. Introduce home accessories such as decorative vases in bold hues to capture the spirit of summer; you might also want to think about shades of blue, yellow and beige to echo the colours of sun, sea and sand. Long summer nights also make this a season of entertaining, so seek out quirky home decoration items that will get your guests talking, and versatile accessories such as porcelain stools that you can use for outdoor parties.
Autumn: Warm and Cosy
As the the summer heat starts to fade, your home should be warming up to compensate. If you have an oil diffuser, think about introducing scents such as pumpkin or vanilla to create a cosy atmosphere. Colour is key: look for home decoration items in rich, earthy tones such as terracotta or burnt orange. Finally, use layering to create warmth and texture. Throw blankets, cushions and vintage rugs will make your living space feel more inviting.
Winter: Elegant and Luxurious
In winter, we want to keep the warmth of autumn decor while dialling up the glamour for the festive season. So choose sophisticated accessories such as ceramic statues or decorative jewellery boxes to add richness to your living space, and add an elegant touch with metallic accents such as our Rodin bronze sculptures. Candle holder trays also come into play at this time of year – is there anything more romantic than winter candlelight?
