Looking for a spring refresh? As the season is all about joy and new beginnings, now is the perfect time to add a little sunshine to the hub of your home with these interior styling tips.
Embrace this lighter and brighter season by bringing a sense of calm, order and an energized new look with some easy to follow suggestions from Wren’s expert styling team.
The Scandi way
Accessorize with natural touches
Bring order and a sense of calm to your kitchen space this spring by adding touches of the Nordic style. This on-trend look can easily be achieved with a refresh of your kitchen space in terms of accessories, feature walls and styling. Restyle your table with neutral linens, stone vases and a rustic runner. Or create a feature wall with pale woods such as ash or beech.
Clean lines & textured cabinets
If you’re redesigning your kitchen space, opt for whitewashed walls and clean lines such as Wren’s contemporary Ultra or Contour range combined with textured natural colors such as Harvest or Scandi Oak. For the countertops, Xena Quartz adds natural luxe vibes. Add a matching backsplash to create a modernist, clean look.
Top tip: Choose a sleek kitchen range and combine it with textured nature-inspired colors and quartz countertops for that Scandinavian feel.
Bring the outside in
Botanical touches
We’re all eager to get outside this time of year but you can also bring the outside in to your kitchen space. Look to your decor and keep your walls neutral and add a botanical feature wall with either wallpaper or shelving with easy-to-care for succulents. A large hero plant such as a palm creates a real warm welcome and a lush esthetic.
Let light in & shift furniture
Ensure your kitchen layout is focused towards the outdoors. Shift furniture and tables so you can enjoy a meal with a view if possible. Open up your windows and doors by taking down blinds, curtains or accessories on the windowsill so you can let light in and make the most of your garden.
Top tip: Clear all windows and doors to maximize your natural light and reflective surfaces such as appliances, countertops, or accessories such as mirrors can help bounce it around.
Add green hues
Pastels & nature-inspired greens
Symbolizing harmony and growth, green is the perfect color to highlight your kitchen cabinets, especially when combined with a metallic profile. Greens create a peaceful and relaxed environment such as Olive, Roman Leaf or Sage. However, you can also add a ray of sunshine by splashing your cabinets with pastels such as Apple Fizz. No matter what the weather’s like outside, a pastel green will bring joy and a retro-inspired vibe.
Splash color on feature cabinets
If you’re not daring enough to color all of your kitchen cabinets green, highlight feature cabinets such as an island or dresser. Or, opt for neutral cabinets and add a pastel green backsplash. For a luxe look, style your kitchen with rich emerald tones and gold hardware.
You can also elevate your kitchen space with nature-inspired hues through accessories such as cushions, wall art or furnishings.
Top tip: Green hues and metallics are a perfect match so accessorize your space with hints of golds, silver or copper.
Restyle your surfaces
For an easy spring-ready update, declutter your worksurfaces ready for a makeover. Start with a blank canvas – remove all items, clean them one by one and wipe down the area fully.
Now you can think about restyling your kitchen windowsills, islands, tables or feature shelving. How without spending a fortune? Refresh your look by removing and adding a few new pieces which will help you think of new ways to style them. Whether it’s new flora or fauna in your vases or books from charity shops that match your color scheme.
Don’t forget to renew your upholstery items such as throws, cushions and table linens to offer a fresh new look.
Top-tip: The key thing is to have different items to work with. Books alone can be boring. Picture frames alone can be boring. But books + picture frames + plants = interesting!
