In the depths of winter, there could be nothing more exciting than to focus on having your home ready and waiting for the first signs of spring. So while you wait out the polar blast, why not start planning what 2021 spring trends you are going to introduce into your home?
One way to come out of winter with a spring in your step (pun intended) is to lighten the load! Perhaps consider swapping out the heavy window coverings for something brighter and with clean lines. Blinds are also a wonderful way of adding colour, and when it’s all too much, put them up and let the sunlight flood in. Spring colours can be added to everything - from your throw cushions and bathroom towels to bed sheets and coffee mugs - don’t think you have to spend a fortune to have on-trend colours in your home.
TRENDING RUGS
Have you been staring at the rugs in the living area of your home and wondering what on earth to do with them? Roll them up and store them for next winter and then update, update, update!
If you are dreaming of spring and summer by the beach, consider choosing one of the natural fibre rug options. This will lead you to create a more organic feel and look for each room with a gorgeous, braided, textured rug like Carpet Court’s Colombo range to complete your spring freshen up.
Trending rug colours that are making headway this spring include natural shades of light grey, cream and beige. Carpet Court’s Saffron range is a great place to start when considering a rug refresh – the natural colours and patterns are bound to suit any space.
SPRING FLOORING
If you are feeling ready for something a little more daring and are wanting to create that
spring feeling all year round, perhaps you are ready for new flooring? This transforms a home instantly.
No matter your price point, you will find a floor covering to suit your taste and budget. Lift the whole mood of your spring home by embracing lighter coloured floorboards in greys or honey tones. From vinyl DIY panels to laminate, or timber to hybrid flooring, there will be something that makes you feel excited about the possibilities.
WINDOW COVERINGS
You can also do the same for your window coverings. Have you heard of Carpet Court’s Veri Shades®? Veri Shades® are the ultimate hybrid between curtains and blinds. They can offer you the privacy of a block-out blind and have the same feeling as curtains. These are an excellent option for sliding doors. Light, floaty, airy and in a gorgeous range of colours and patterned materials – they are sure to add a layer of luxury and freshness to a space.
Other spring blinds that help elevate your home and add a touch of sophistication include Carpet Court’s Indoor Plantation Shutters – they immediately make you feel as though you’re relaxing in a coastal home.
Spring is not the season to be shy!! Live a little and embrace the coming months of blue skies, picnics, and fresh blooms.
