Stepping Into Spring

Spring hasn't exactly graced us yet, so this month's style tip will help lift your space and prepare for when the sun finally shines. Imagine ocean blues, daffodil and ochre yellows along with warm greys.

Clarke & Clarke - Foxglove

Sanderson - Ranee

To freshen up your space, try a feature wall of Clarke & Clarke's Foxglove wallpaper, highlight the aqua tone with painted walls in the same hue. Keep the flooring and curtains in shades of grey to create a serene and sophisticated look. For a more traditional alternative, try a floor length set of curtains in Sanderson's Ranee fabric, the flowing pattern with cute flowers and birds will create the illusion of spring indoors. Pick out the uplifting daffodil yellow in scatter cushions and lamps, these accent pieces can be easily changed to move with the seasons. Keep your furniture and the rest of the accessories simple, choosing natural materials such as wood and wicker. Vases and mirrors with woven details will create that back to nature look.

Personalise it!

Give some metal garden chairs a makeover with white paint to create an alfresco dining feel. Scatter vases of flowers and greenery around to literally bring the outdoors in!

Experiment with:

• Contrasting walls - creating colour block walls will give this style a modern twist whilst highlighting those all important key colours.
• Texture - knitted pouffes, fresh linens and wirework will all add to the sense of spring.

Here's hoping...
