Give Your Bedroom A Spring Makeover
by Claudia Vilches
Spring-time is traditionally associated with change and renewal, so what better time than now to give your bedroom a fresh new look? This season's décor trends offer an exciting and vibrant colour palette, plus eye-catching patterns to create a spring makeover that is full of personality and style.
Enticing Colour Palettes to Renew Your Space
This season's decor trends are all about bringing warmth and colour to your interior. Pastel pinks, blues, lilacs and yellows that reflect the delicate shades of spring flowers have always been a popular choice for this time of year, and work well to create a soft, inviting ambience, especially if your current décor is fairly neutral. Also trending is the tropical neon palette – bold shades of orange, teal, yellow, green and pink that really pop and will bring your décor right up to date.
Eye-catching Patterns for a Stylish Spring
The hottest prints and patterns for this spring take their influence from the trends set on the catwalk. Geometric prints with strong lines and abstract shapes are the big story for this spring, with small and large scale zig-zags, cubes and linear designs that stand out from the crowd. Botanical prints are another favourite – forget chintzy, fussy prints and go for over-sized splashy blooms or stylized silhouettes for a fresh interpretation of the traditional look.
Top Tricks for A Quick Bedroom Makeover
Giving your bedroom a spring makeover doesn't have to be a major project. You can restyle in just a couple of hours if you let accessories set the theme and do the talking. Choose a trendy new bed linen set in this season's colour palettes and patterns then pick out a selection of scatter cushions, European pillows and throw rugs to co-ordinate. The best stylists aren't afraid to mix and match – play with contrasting textures and fabrics to create a look which excites you and stimulates the senses.
