Your spring ready home - Interior Kollection

Just like our wardrobes when the weather changes and spring arrives, it’s time to rethink our our interior and home decor style. Open the windows and let the sun shine through your house. It’s time to re-set the table, get ready to entertain, add lighter soft furnishings, garden accessories and fill your home with the scent of Spring.

TOP TIP: Invest in a large wicker storage basket to store your seasonal cushions and throws.

HOW TO: GET THE LOOK

SOFT TOUCH

This season start with redesigning your spring home decor by replacing your heavier winter scatter cushions and blankets with stylish spring soft furnishings. Choose tranquil shades in lighter weights and finer textures to create a modern interior spring feel. Choose, softer and lighter throws either folder or draped across your lounge sofa. Alternatively stack on garden furniture for outdoor entertaining. Choose cushions in shades of palest blue, dove grey, pastel pink and ecru.

TOP TIP: Invest in a large wicker storage basket to store your seasonal cushions and throws.

OUTSIDE IN

When we think of spring we think of flowers. Embrace the new spring season by generously filling your home with eco-friendly interior solutions, such as masses of faux pretty blossom, magnolia flowers and chic white orchids. This will bring springtime in and give the illusion of a garden in bloom. Place large ceramic pots on islands, table tops or at the entrance of your home, bursting with faux flowers, creating a billowing fall of tree branching florals.

TOP TIP: Place a little chicken wire scrunched up (or a floristry frog) at the base of a large ceramic pot. This will allow the flower stems to fall evenly and branch beautifully from the vase.

BUTTERCUP YELLOW

Nothing says spring like a shade of buttery yellow. Adding accents of this favourite springtime hue to your home will immediately elevate the mood and fill any area or room with an inviting and glowing lift. Table cloths or napkins for spring entertaining in shades of yellow will also create the most vibrant and uplifting mood for your tablescapes. Native north American Sunflowers burst with rich spirited colour and bring the happy shade of sunshine into your home.

TOP TIP: Springtime wreaths are another great way to introduce buttercup yellow into your home. Hang on your front door, inside or out.

PRETTY POTS

Get your home garden party ready this spring, creating an envious patio or garden terrace with a cluster of stylish planters or large ceramic vases. These look fabulous filled with lavender, green foliage or pretty garden plants. Choose a selection of complimenting colours in pastel or bright seasonal tones. Place around your terrace or patio area in small groups of alternating sizes and shapes. Display bunches of small tree branches and decorate with sparkling garden fairy lights, adding springtime magic to your outside area.

TOP TIP: Place outdoor lanterns or pillar candles around the pots for a warm glowing ambience on your garden terrace.

BIRD SONG

The beauty of nature comes alive more so in springtime than at any other time of the year. The tweeting birds and wildlife add to the creation of the season and contribute to the wonder and beauty that extends from the garden into our home decor. Wallpaper, crockery and fabrics adorned with animals and beautiful birds bring the seasonal atmosphere into our homes every year in spring. Place fresh-from-the-garden roses in vases decorated with nature such as our new beautiful spring bird vase.

TOP TIP: For fresh cut flowers remover any leaves from stems below the neck of the vase and cut diagonally, snipping the centre of the stem in the middle about one cm, this will prolong the life of the flower.

SET THE SCENE

As the season changes and the days become longer, lighter and warmer, entertaining comes into its own. Long lazy lunches, glasses filled with chilled rose in the garden and early spring suppers call for impressive spring tablescapes. Set the scene with fresh linens, hand written menus, candlelight and impressive centre pieces. Trending right now are dramatic and sustainable paper flowers. Available in stunning soft shades, style your table centre with an array of spring paper flower in differing heights and varieties.

TOP TIP: Finish your tablescape with scattered fresh rose petals from your garden and twinkling tea lights.

SPRING SCENT

Signature home scents create first impressions on entering a home. Bring the outside in this season choosing candles and scented home sprays infused with the aroma of fresh spring flowers and cut garden foliage. Fill your house with your favourite spring scent. Try our Tuberose Scented home candle.

TOP TIP: Light candles 30 minutes before guests arrive to fill the house with an inviting welcome and place near to the entrance of your home.
