Spring is an exciting time of the year. For many, it is the time of year where we look to give our homes some TLC, whether that be a thorough spring clean, a new lick of paint, new spring blinds, or a complete re-fresh. There are almost endless ways to revitalise a space! Read on to find out the best blinds to choose this Spring to instantly revive your home.

The best blinds for spring

Spring is the time of year to let more natural light flood our homes, however, we want to achieve this without jeopardising our privacy. Day & Night Blinds are a fabulous solution for managing how much natural light fills our space, while ensuring those prying eyes stay at bay. An alternative to Day & Night blinds is the Illusion blind.

Filtering daylight into our homes while maintaining the view to the outside, they are functional and stylish. Venturing outside is made simple with Illusion blinds, as the independent drops of fabric allow you to walk through them with ease.

Roller Blinds made from the right material are yet another wonderful spring addition to the space. The large face of fabric provides us with the opportunity to inject a spring colour or pattern into our homes, instantly elevating the space and making it feel brand new!

The perfect spring materials

Our first port of call when adding new soft furnishing into the home for spring should be fabrics! When we think of spring, we think of bright, open, and airy spaces – allowing that warming breeze to whisp in and freshen the space! The use of lightweight fabrics will encourage a flowing movement within our interiors, but what are the options available?

1. Linen
Linen is one of the most used fabrics world-wide. This robust, yet lightweight fabric is the perfect addition to add charm and texture into a space. The cooling and stylish qualities of linen make it ideal for keeping a space cool in the warmer months, while the texture will add some depth to your decor.

2. Silk
Silk is known for its shimmering appearance, making it ideal for spring. The sunlight will enhance its natural beauty, making our homes feel like the inside of a jewellery box. Add a glistening touch of luxury into your décor this spring with a Roman silk blind.

3. Voiles
Voiles are another wonderful fabric to use for creating an airy feeling within the home. The lightweight fabric allows for smooth air circulation – aiding in making our homes feel refreshed. Perfect for spring and summer, our collection of voile fabrics includes a fabulous selection of colourways and patterns, allowing you to find your perfect voile Roman blind or curtain!

Spring colours

When we think of spring, we think of yellows, pale pinks, greens, and pale purples – such as lilac, or this year’s Pantone colour of the year Very Peri; a soft, pale, blue undertone purple, it’s ideal for spring! All these soft tone colourways are a great way to brighten up the house and hit refresh on our interiors.

Spring yellows

The use of yellows recreates a feeling of Daffodils or Primroses! Both spring flowers that are popular amongst many. The joyful tones of yellow will set our interior décor up for summer, creating an uplifting space.

Pale pinks

Pale Pinks remind us of roses, the ultimate flower for summer, so what better time of the year to add this tone to our interiors than in the spring? Pale pinks also bring in a sense of warmth and comfort to the space, something we can all benefit from after a cold winter.

Natural greens

Green is the ultimate colour of spring; trees are growing new leaves; the grass is getting longer and richer in colour. We get completely immersed in green during the Spring. It is also an incredibly beneficial colour to add into our décor as it helps to ground us and reconnect us with nature. Whether you decided to implement it using green curtains or cushions, green tones inside and out will help with our mental wellbeing.

Spring inspired patterns

Floral prints are often the first patterns that come to mind when we think of spring. Blooming flowers start to appear across the landscape in preparation for summer and everything starts to come back to life. Recreating this feeling in our homes is easier than you might think. Floral prints come in an array of colourways and styles. From individual flowers to massed bloomed heads, we will have the perfect one for you! Injecting floral prints into our homes can be done through a variety of choices.

Insect inspired prints are a fun alternative for injecting the essence of spring into the home. With bumble bees and dragon flies buzzing around outside, we can recreate that energy inside. Our Voyage Bumble Bee Birch Curtains for example will reimagine the sense of the spring outdoors inside, with pops of yellow bringing in a joyful twist!

The additional touch

Home accessories can easily and instantly revitalise a space. A couple of new cushions here and there with complementary lampshades can be all it takes to refresh any interior décor. Simply tie them in with your existing colour palette or go to the opposite side of the colour wheel for a brand-new look. This will be a great solution to refreshing our homes for Spring.

For those of you with striking vertical blinds, another top tip for making homes feel new this spring is replacing any scuffed or marked vertical slats with new ones. Replacement Vertical Slats are available in a variety of colours and can be fitted with ease to the existing mechanism – sold individually, you can replace only the ones that need replacing.

Spring is the time of year to reflect internally, and when it comes to décor there is an endless list of possibilities we can look to for creating a sense of replenishment within our home. How will you revitalise your home this spring?
