So, what’s hot this spring/summer?
Minimal style and pastel accents
Minimalistic style will be leading the way this season. Layer bleached neutral hues with pops of green and pale woods for a fresh take on the paired back Scandi vibe. Add depth to a minimalistic entrance by adding a sculptural, yet functional piece of furniture such as a coat hanger or console table. Colours such as pastel millennial pink and soft sage greens go great with stripped back wood, really epitomising the Scandi theme.
The less is more approach still stands, try not to create clutter on sideboards and bedside tables. Add hints of colour to create focal points and leave it at that. Shades of cream, walnut and sage are perfect hues to create a calming atmosphere especially in the bedroom.
The jungle look
The jungle look will still be going strong this spring, it’s a versatile way of injecting life and vibrancy into a room. Even the smallest space can work as a garden room, mix hanging baskets, shelved plants and potted foliage to amp up the jungle effect. Living walls can be hard to achieve, they can be high maintenance and, in some cases, expensive. An alternative way is to add floating shelves to a corner of the room and fill them to the brim with plants and succulents, accompanied with hanging plants.

White wash
In so many cases, white is seen as safe or boring when used in interior design but this year it’s key when you’re wanting to achieve a simple, serene, atmosphere to your home. Layered textures and different white hues can add great depth and create a real talking point. With white been so versatile, it’s easy to add colour if needed but looks clean cut and fresh when left alone. Dark oak wood and wicker accessories looks simply stunning when paired with an all-white room.
