Whilst Spring is technically here in the UK, as this has been one of the coldest months ever recorded that feeling of optimism in the air and a spring in our step as we leave our winter coats at home and enjoy the lighter nights seems to be evading us.
Just like how animals in hibernation might be looking out their nest thinking “no thank you” and hitting the snooze button on their internal alarm clock, right now is usually the time we are getting our home in shape for Spring. Whether that’s undertaking the traditional spring clean, doing an overhaul of the garden, or starting building work.
Therefore, this article comes as a gentle reminder that Spring is upon us, Summer is just around the corner and if you’re planning things such as garden parties this summer, the time to act is now.
See, there’s a lot of preparation required if you’re starting the building work necessary to create your dream home. Specifically, you’ll need to ensure you have all the right equipment sourced from a reputable company such as Bryson Tools and Suppliers before beginning, as the last thing you want is to be halfway through an important project that requires your presence to find you don’t have the necessary equipment.
This is particularly pertinent if you are doing major work such as knocking a wall through to create an open plan environment. Just as the scouts and girl guides say, it’s best to “be prepared”.
Now, in addition to taking care of the garden, the chore of cleaning, and the headache of building work there’s a silver lining. Spring is a great time to reinvigorate your home interior - so on a more positive note let’s take a look at few trends this season.
- ICE CREAM COLOURS
The colours, this season can be best described as vibrant pastel shades akin to the gelato you might find in a boutique ice cream parlour. Similar to going to an ice cream parlour, you are encouraged to utilise a few different scoops to create a palette of flavors rather than one block colour.
- RECLAIMED WOOD
This trend has been with us for a long time now, yet it shows no signs of slowing down, the natural look of reclaimed pallets, fruit crates and driftwood is an ageless style that is likely to transcend the seasonal fickle fads associated with interior design. This Spring, upcycled reclaimed wood is particularly prominent when combined with warm LED string lights that fill your space with a warm ambient glow.
- GALLERY STYLE WALLS
When you think of an art gallery, you probably picture whitewashed minimalistic walls with a prominent piece of art hung in the centre of the wall. Whilst you might not want to turn your house into a minimalist art gallery, there is much aesthetic sense in this decluttered yet bold and impactful style.
The majority of homes are filled to the brim with “stuff” that makes them too busy and chaotic to feel the serenity one wishes to feel upon entering their home. Contrast this with the feeling one has in the decluttered space of an art gallery and you’ll see why this Spring, the trend is to declutter your walls and have one prominent piece on display.
