Attention all interior design fanatics: spring is upon us! Yes, it is true that for many of us the sky outside remains an unsightly shade of grey and we’re still bundled up in our winter coats, but we’ve decided that its time to bring the bloom indoors. With the evenings getting longer and the occasional sunny spell brightening up our days, we’re getting that springtime itch to refresh, renew and de-clutter. So, without further ado, let us talk you through some of the ways that you can incorporate a fresh and zesty feel into your humble abode this season.

New Opulence

In spring 2017, the interior design world is going crazy for all things art deco. Amp up those 1920’s glamour vibes by incorporating rich velvets, soft shapes and smooth marble accents to your space. At EZ Living, we can’t get enough of this trend and spring is the perfect excuse to splurge a little on some drool worthy pieces. For us, the Cocoon Sofa in Navy is the epitome of springtime chic. As an added bonus, the oh-so-versatile navy is a go-to hue for spring, adding a moody quality to any setting. It also looks incredible paired with zesty spring tones so you can shake up your sofa assortment for added ‘umph’.

Greenery

Pantone describe their colour of the year, Greenery, as ‘a refreshing and revitalising shade symbolic of new beginnings’. Can you think of a colour more appropriate for spring? We can’t. The beauty of using colour to spruce up your space is that you can incorporate it in any way that you prefer from bright accents as pictured on our Dune Sofa, to statement pieces á la Scott Sofa, or, one of our favourites, by bringing nature indoors. For those of us who havn’t been blessed with green thumbs, fear not! Lush, flourishing and (more importantly) low maintenance vines are the only things you need to create a spring time haven all of your own.

Springtime Scents

Spring is a season for the senses, so why not move from darker, wintery scents like amber and patchouli to crisp, fresh bouquets like peony, rose, lemon and rosemary? Think diffusers, candles or freshly cut flowers sitting on your coffee table. For those of us who enjoy a little DIY, homemade linen sprays or essential oil air fresheners are the perfect projects to get your home in tip-top shape this spring.

Now go ahead and spring into the season!
