The First Trends of Spring
Spring tends to arrive gently. Blossom trees blushing pink, a window sill streaked by a sunlit dawn and suddenly the air feels a little lighter. As interiors editor Georgina Blaskey reveals, it brings with it one of her favourite moments in interiors: the return of spring whimsy.
Decorating for the season has a charm all of its own. It’s softer, brighter, and just a little more playful. Think pastel hues that feel like sugared almonds, cheerful motifs inspired by folk traditions, and florals that bring the outdoors inside. The result is a look that feels joyful and relaxed, perfect for welcoming the new season.

A Palette of Spring Pastels
The colours of spring interiors rarely shout. Instead, they appear in the prettiest whispers.
Soft butter yellows catch the light beautifully across ceramics and linens, while pastel blues evoke clear skies and calm mornings. Subtle pinks - from powdery rose to delicate blush - add warmth, and gentle greens mirror the fresh shoots and leaves appearing outside.
These shades layer beautifully together, creating spaces that feel light and optimistic. Even the smallest pop of colour - a pale blue jug or pink-edged napkin - can brighten a table setting or corner of a room.

The Charm of Folk-Inspired Details
Alongside these softer palettes, we’re seeing a renewed love for playful, folk-inspired design. Decorative borders, hand-painted motifs and block-printed fabrics bring a sense of craft and character to everyday pieces.
From embroidered tablecloths to patterned cushions, these designs often feature charming details - tiny birds, winding vines, cheerful florals - that add warmth and personality. Nothing feels too polished or perfect, which is exactly the point. Folk-inspired pieces encourage mixing, layering and a more carefree approach to styling.

Naturally, Playful Florals
No spring interior would feel complete without florals. Botanical prints, blooming linens and floral ceramics capture that just-picked-from-the-garden feeling.
A simple jug filled with tulips or a scattering of seasonal stems on the table can transform a space instantly. It’s an easy way to bring colour, fragrance and a touch of the outdoors into everyday moments.
What we love most about spring interiors is their ease. A striped napkin beside a floral plate, pastel glassware paired with patterned linens - it all adds to the charm.
After the deeper tones and heavier textures of winter, spring invites us to lighten things up. Open the windows, bring in the flowers, and let soft colours and playful patterns set the tone. A little whimsy, after all, is exactly what the season calls for.
