Well the chill of winter has finally set in. As I sit, in bed, under my doona in my warm winter woolies, I can’t help but think that Spring is just around the corner. Spring is such a lovely time of year, when the stillness of winter bursts to life with warmth and vibrancy. It seems to bring a sense of hope, new life, and fresh starts. For me Spring is best represented through gorgeous bright colours, so it’s time for a big ‘Spring clean’ of our home and to add some splashes of colour.
There are a plethora of bright on trend colours for Spring 2013, including Emerald Greens, Dusky Blues, Zesty Yellow, Lime Greens, Nectarine and Poppy Red. These gorgeous exuberant colours work well when paired back with some calming neutrals. So for my home, I’ll be keeping my large furniture neutral and just making few small changes. Some bright throw cushions, a colourful lightweight throw and a gorgeous bunch of fresh flowers, will be a great way to bring that fresh spring feel into our home.
When thinking about home interiors, like me, you might cringe at the memory of your childhood home. The best version of our family home was new green carpet and a black high-backed vinyl lounge with orange nylon-cushioned seating. My mother was proud of her modern choices and teamed up the “mod look” with a teak extender dining table and a sliding-door settee.The bright green kitchen cupboards and red laminex kitchen table and chairs were all part of the ‘70’s look.
