4 Key Colours
to Refresh Your Home This Spring
As the season shifts and nature awakens with fresh energy, it's the perfect time to breathe new life into your living spaces.
This spring, four distinctive color palettes are emerging as favourites among interior designers for their ability to transform homes with minimal effort. Whether you're planning a complete room makeover or simply looking to update accessories, these color choices offer versatile options for every style preference.
1. sage Green: Nature's Neutral
Sage green has firmly established itself as the "new neutral" in interior design circles. This soft, muted green brings the calming essence of nature indoors while providing a more interesting alternative to traditional beige or gray.
Why it works: Sage green creates a serene backdrop that pairs beautifully with natural materials like wood, rattan, and linen. It's versatile enough to complement both warm and cool colour schemes.
How to incorporate it: For a subtle approach, try sage green throw pillows, vases, or a statement chair. More committed renovators might consider sage cabinetry in the kitchen or an accent wall in the living room. Pair it with cream, terracotta, or light woods for a balanced, organic feel.
2. Mellow Yellow: Sunshine Optimism
This isn't the bright, primary yellow of playrooms but rather a softer, buttery shade that brings warmth and optimism to any space without overwhelming it.
Why it works: Mellow yellow naturally brightens rooms with limited natural light and creates a cheerful atmosphere perfect for spring rejuvenation.
How to incorporate it: Yellow works wonderfully as an accent colour, think throw blankets, lampshades, or decorative bowls. For the more adventurous, a yellow sofa or set of dining chairs can become the focal point of a room. Balance this color with white, navy, or charcoal for a sophisticated look.
3. Soft Coral: The New Pink
Coral offers a refreshing alternative to millennial pink, bringing warmth and energy without feeling too feminine or childlike.
Why it works: This colour sits perfectly between pink and orange, creating a versatile hue that feels both contemporary and timeless. It adds a touch of playfulness while remaining sophisticated.
How to incorporate it: Start small with coral-coloured artwork, decorative pillows, or a table lamp. For a greater impact, consider a coral headboard or accent chair. Coral pairs beautifully with navy blue, olive green, or crisp white for balance.
4. Powder Blue: Serene Sophistication
This refined pastel blue brings a sense of tranquility and expansiveness to interior spaces, making it perfect for spring refreshes.
Why it works: Powder blue creates a feeling of airiness and calm, reminiscent of clear spring skies. It's subtle enough to use in larger applications without becoming overwhelming.
How to incorporate it: Powder blue works beautifully on walls, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms where its calming properties are most beneficial. For smaller commitments, try blue ceramic vases, picture frames, or textiles. Complement this shade with warm neutrals, light wood tones, or strategic touches of brass for an elegant look.
Bringing It All Together
The beauty of this spring's colour palette lies in its versatility and mix-and-match potential. These four colours can be used independently or combined for a cohesive seasonal refresh.
When introducing new colours, remember the 60-30-10 rule:
Use your primary colour for about 60% of the room
(typically walls and large furniture).
Use a secondary colour for about 30%
(accent furniture and textiles).
Add an accent colour for the remaining 10%
(accessories and artwork).
