Spring is the perfect time to refresh your space – the season of new beginnings where we look to revive our surroundings, ready for brighter and (hopefully) warmer months ahead. But it can be difficult to know how to renew your home without making radical changes that are costly and time-consuming. If you’re looking to step into spring easily and quickly, here are 4 simple ways to embrace the season and refresh your home.
1. Bring out seasonal tableware and accessories for fresh new dining
One of the simplest ways to welcome a new season is to switch out your tableware and accessories. Florals and vibrant colours seem obvious choices for spring, but ones that guarantee a fresh look that truly celebrates the season. With spring comes plenty of opportunity to celebrate too, so updated tableware, glassware and serveware should certainly be on your agenda to impress any guests.
Our latest Sophie Conran Lavandula collection is the perfect tableware to say hello to spring. Perfect for transitioning between the seasons, the collection is made for layering with your existing Sophie Conran White dinnerware to create an easy-on-the-eye mix-and-match setting. The beautiful lavender sprig design across dinner plates, side plates, cereal bowls and afternoon tea pieces adds a subtle touch of colour to casually brighten your table.
If you prefer your florals a little more vibrant, look no further than the elegant Water Garden or classic Botanic Garden collections. Both brimming with colour and flourishing blooms, they’re ideal for bringing the outside in.
2. Unpack outdoor dining essentials
Be ready for brighter days by unpacking any outdoor essentials that you’ve had hibernating since last summer. Melamine trays in all shapes and sizes, such as sandwich trays and scatter trays, are perfect for enjoying drinks or lunch al fresco. Pair with your favourite plates, salad bowls and platters to serve delicious spreads.
3. Scent your space with fresh floral fragrances
Never underestimate the power of fragrance. A new scent can completely change the mood and feel of a space, so switch up your warming winter-inspired candles with fresh, floral scents in the form of diffusers, tealights and candles to set a new scene for spring.
Our Botanic Garden home fragrance collection not only brings the colour and vibrance of an English country garden into the home with its beautifully decorated vessels but the scent of one too with its floral-inspired fragrances of hydrangea, poppy, sweet pea and treasure flower
4. Display seasonal flowers
One of the easiest ways to update any room in your home is to add a vase or two of fresh flowers. Daffodils, tulips and hyacinths sing of spring and are easy to get hold of from your local supermarket all season long. Just make sure you have enough vases to house all the vibrant florals you want to display. Whether it’s a beautiful centrepiece for your dining table or a small bunch to brighten up your bedside table, find a vase to suit.
