Do you want to finally feel spring at home and not just another tidy, slightly cold space? This year it’s breaking. Minimalism is receding and a style with more energy is coming. According to him, you should enjoy the apartment.
The colors and textures of this spring
The pastels are receding a bit, but not completely gone. It just changes to colors tmuch warmer and more alive. It appears a lot butter yellow. It replaces the beige one, which already looks a little tired. Works great on curtains, cushions or throws. It adds light to the space, but does not cut the eyes in any way.
Then we have pale mint or sage. Green with a slight gray undertone. It seems calm, a bit like the first spring leaves. Ideal for larger surfaces, such as a wall or a chair. This year will also include these two nectarine. She sticks to the details. Glasses, vases, trinkets. It will add energy but not overpower everything else.
If you have only one thing to improve your home, it’s glass, but not ordinary glass. Textured colored glass is flying, appearing for at least the second season. Wavesbut also irregular shapes, such “liquid” forms. Vases, bowls, candlesticks or ordinary glasses are not smooth, but quite the opposite.
Why do they attract? The reason is simple. They work with light. During the day, the sun refracts and soft colored reflections appear on the walls. In the evening, they react to artificial light again. The effect is not noticeable, but it changes the atmosphere more than you expect. If you want to improve the atmosphere even in the early evening, then pay attention to .
Materials you want to reach for
A lot of things revolve around touch this year. It’s no longer just about how it looks, but what kind of surface it has.
- It appears raw wood. At ease with imperfections, kinks, structure. It seems real. Sometimes very expensive, other times clean and natural. The choice is yours.
- Terracotta and unglazed ceramics: Matt, slightly rougher surfaces look natural and at the same time cultivated. In combination with the yellow color, it will create a slightly Mediterranean feeling at home, even if you are in a block of flats.
- Recycled paper and knitwear: For example, these are typically lampshades or baskets. The light passes through them softly and pleasantly, no harsh glare. You can buy just a few accessories and at the same time the style of the apartment will be easily connected and cosy.
How to put it all together?
Forget about putting one decoration on each shelf. This is not working this year. Instead, create one place where things meet.
A chest of drawers, a table and a windowsill can be such a place. Put more objects together there. Play with the height. Combine materials. Glass next to ceramics, wood next to textiles. And feel free to mix the living with the inanimate.
Flowers are a classic, but this year even dry branches are making a splash. A twisted willow, for example. You can hang light paper decorations on it and you’re done. It’s not complicated. She just wants to not be afraid to combine a little more and let the apartment have its own mood.
