Spring has sprung! After a seemingly never-ending winter, it's time to open up the windows, breathe some fresh air and welcome the new season.
As the warmer weather returns, so do all of the colors of nature. Between blossoming flowers, lively wildlife and sunnier days, there's no shortage of inspiration to draw from when refreshing your home.
Let's explore some of the biggest trends in interior design right now and how you can make them your own this spring.
Earthy jewel tones
Using a palette inspired by nature is one of the biggest color trends for the season. Earth-toned pigments are proving popular when it comes to selecting a bold shade for an accent wall, tiles or key furniture pieces, explains Ideal Home.
The trick to maximizing the impact of these colors is to keep it simple. Select one part of the room, such as a statement wall or an accent rug, to introduce a darker shade that complements the other details in the space.
If you're not ready to commit to repainting a wall or swapping out your current rugs, one subtle way to embrace this trend is to simply switch out your cushions in favor of ones that use deeper colors, such as navy or forest green.
Bold colors are becoming increasingly popular for staple furniture as well as accent pieces.Whimsical textures and patterns
While nature-inspired colors are all the rage this spring, you may be hard pressed to find this other trend in the wild: fringe everything.
From curtains to rugs and, in even more extreme cases, wallpaper, this bold texture is starting to pop up everywhere. HGTV recommends placing wall tapestries and curtains with fringes anywhere in a room that could benefit from a little extra touch. As an accent, even just a single fringed piece can have a major impact in a space.
While the texture has gradually been making its way into an increasing number of collections over the past year, it's safe to say that fringe is here to stay.
Functional and fashionable
After a year at home, many of us have become far more mindful of maximizing our space. It's no surprise that furniture is getting smarter to help serve that need.
This spring, look for dual-purpose pieces that not only complement your home's design, but also help you to get even more out of each room. If you're working with a smaller living area, functional furniture can help you stay organized without having to sacrifice any of your space.
Whether it means a coffee table with storage on the bottom or even a bookshelf that doubles as a desk, multipurpose pieces will ensure you can enjoy every part of your home that much more.
