Spring décor trends to look out for in 2020

September is finally here and that means one thing: spring is in the air. We're looking at 5 wonderfully spring-inspired trends that you'll want to incorporate into your home's décor this season.

What better time than spring to bring a change into your home's interior by switching up the décor in anticipation of the warmer weather.  Bid farewell to the heavier fabrics and cooler colours that characterise winter décor and say hello to the brighter, warmer colours, fresh patterns and light, airy materials of spring and summer.

Floral patterns

What better time of the year than spring to incorporate floral patterns into your home's décor. Floral patterns, especially floral wallpaper, are a trend that is seeing a resurgence in 2020. Introduce a pop of colour and personality to your space by choosing bold, vibrant contemporary floral patterns for all different aspects of your home's décor, from scatter cushions to throws, furniture upholstery and wallpapers. Contemporary floral patterns favour bright, contrasting colours, varying shapes and sizes to create eye-catching pieces that will bring a refreshing touch of spring into your home's interior.

Flowers and greenery

There's never a bad time to incorporate greenery into your home, but in spring you can go a step further by filling your home with colourful flowering house plants or by displaying fresh floral arrangements full of fresh flowers in vases to create a truly spring-inspired look in your home - after all, who doesn't like flowers? Flowers can add a refreshing touch of vitality and vibrance to any room that they're placed in and a beautiful floral arrangement can be a great way to complement your home's décor and add a pop of colour. Stay on trend by incorporating oversized statement greenery and bold floral arrangements into your home's décor, opting for big leafy plants and brightly coloured floral arrangements that are guaranteed to be a focal point in any room. Greenery can even be included in the form of ceramics, with the new Luxe Leaf collection by Lauren Jarvis, a local ceramic artist.  Available from www.jennyrobert.co.za.

Open shelves

Open shelves are a great way to combine style with function, as they create a space where you can store - and display - items such as kitchenware, vases or books, which can add a touch of colour and character to a space. Instead of hiding beautiful appliances, dishes and trinkets in inside shelves, you can display them on an open shelf ensuring that they are easy to reach and that they play a bigger role in your home's aesthetic. You can even display multicoloured items such as glassware to add a pop of colour to a room. Open shelves can be used for displaying anything from vases of flowers, picture frames, books, trinkets, pieces of art, dishes, appliances and mugs, depending on the room they're in.

Rattan and wicker

Nothing says spring quite like the airy, summery feel and casual warmth that rattan and wicker furniture and décor pieces - such as light fixtures - bring to a space. With an endless array of contemporary furniture and décor pieces ranging from simple to stylish available in this traditional material, you can add a touch of character and charm to a room. A casual, laid-back feel is what makes rattan and wicker so appealing and is why it makes the perfect addition to your home's décor in the spring and summer months - plus it has the added benefit of being easy to style. While rattan and wicker were once considered outdoor materials, we're seeing it pop up more and more in interior design, as people want to bring a piece of the outdoors inside.

Switch to lighter fabrics

Switching from heavier winter fabrics to lighter spring and summer fabrics is the ultimate long-lasting spring décor trend. Say goodbye to fleece blankets and extra thick duvets in favour of woven linen throws and light and breathable cotton sheets. This not only changes the overall feel of your décor and helps you sleep better as the weather warms up, but incorporating light, natural woven fabrics and materials into your home's décor will also give your home's interior that fresh spring feel.
