Spring is almost here, and everywhere we look, spring decor is bursting into life. We look forward to the days where a walk down even the most urban of city streets is now enlivened by flowering trees in their glory, fruit trees in blossom, and a technicolour carpet of daffodils, tulips and hyacinths. While these harbingers of the new season are certainly at their loveliest in their fresh incarnations, spring seems like the perfect time to incorporate them everywhere in your interiors, from lighting to table linens.
Matchboxes
When it comes to affordable decorative accessories, you can't beat a matchbox. Useful and beautiful, these bright little boxes are perfect for adding spring charm to your side tables. We love these colourful matchboxes from Chommies, which add a splash of vibrancy to an otherwise plain step.
Lighting
A new season always makes us want to re-examine our lighting, and while the longer days mean we're not quite so dependent on our table lamps, they're an easy aspect of an interior to refresh. The Gathered shades by Laura Hau (aka The Little Haus) are perennial favourites and a classic go-to for pretty floral fabrics.
On the table
A spring dining table (whether for indoor or outdoor entertaining) positively cries out for floral decoration. Fortunately you won't be short of options, as this season's new linens and table accessories are as flower-filled as a country garden. Poetry are at the vanguard of the movement, with bold and bright designs that look like they could manifest warmer weather all on their own. Linens bring a little more subtlety with their timeless embroidered napkins. Don't neglect the place mats either with jaunty flower-shaped mats are just the thing for a festive meal.
The bed
As warmer weather approaches, a change in bedding arrangements is always on the to-do list. While you're hauling out the lighter duvet, seize the moment to cover it in a classic ditsy Liberty-inspired print that suggests the most charming of country bedrooms, or let exotic flowers climb over your bed with these marvellous blankets and throws from Jane Valken.
Decoration
A good piece of floral art will see you through any season, and this spring we're looking to Jasper & Jute, a brilliant destination for striking and playful prints where botanical decoration is always in style.
Serveware
Is your Spring lunch table looking a bit schmeh? A few floral pieces to serve up your roast lamb, asparagus and malva puddng will be just the thing. Bordallo Pinheiro offer a huge range of leafy floral delights in various colours, but these daisy plates are so sunny and friendly. And it can't hurt to bring a touch of the tropics in via another winner from La DoubleJ.
