Home Design Trends For Spring

As springtime rolls around in New England, many homeowners are looking to freshen up their interior décor. Whether it’s in advance of a home sale -- or just a seasonal update -- staying ahead of the game is always a good idea.

Transitional design trends change every few months, so if your living space looks like it did around the holidays, it’s officially time to let go of dreary winter in favor of a vibrant and refreshing spring. Adding some new elements -- big or small -- can save your home from looking worn-out. Consider spring cleaning your décor by trying some of these refreshing new 2019 design trends:

1. Floral Wallpaper Patterns – this classic decorating trend is making a comeback in a sophisticated way this spring. If executed well, a floral accent wall has the ability to bring calmness and serenity to your rooms. We suggest you apply this trend in bedrooms or nurseries to add an element of visual interest to your spaces.
2. Open Shelving – the use of cabinet doors has seen a steady decline since open shelving became the up and coming ‘it’ design trend. Not only is it convenient to have everyday items on constant display, open shelves can also air out the space and allow you to show off accents like fine china. The 24/7 spotlight might even force you to keep your shelves clean and neatly stacked at all times! We recommend trying this trend in your bathroom or kitchen to give your more functional spaces a modern twist.
3. Four Poster Beds – You’ll be sleeping like royalty when you transform your bed frame into a four-poster oasis of comfort. Whether you choose a slim metal or thick wooden one, having any frame around your bed space will bring you a feeling of protection and tranquility. Treat yourself by applying this trend in your master bedroom or keep your kids in their own bed all night by installing this extra security blanket.
4. Biophilia – This design trend emphasizes the relationship between humankind and nature, and the connections between the two. Use natural materials in your home, such as wood, stone, copper, and granite, to bring the outside in. There are so many new elements to choose from. Adding potted plants and succulents to your décor is a way to remind yourself of nature’s beauty during even the worst spring showers. Employ this trend in social spaces, like the family room or dining room, to add a calming ambiance to your décor.
5. Bold Black Bathrooms – Have you ever wanted an at-home bath to feel like a day at the spa? The new design trend of all-black bathrooms provides this sultry, high-end experience in the comfort of your own home. With options of making everything from the walls to the hand towels dark as night or balancing it out with a half black, half white theme, there are so many ways to customize this trend to fit your spaces perfectly.

The number of exciting ways to spruce up your home for the new season are endless. It doesn’t have to be a big project, either. Simply switching out some old couch pillows and hand towels for new ones can make your home feel like new again. Planting the seeds of change in your home for spring will allow you to finally say goodbye to the New England chills and hello to a fresh and fun new season!
