Olivia’s top 2026 spring decorating trend predictions:

Outdoor In

“This look is inspired by an early spring garden. Featuring layers of soft florals, scalloped edges, fresh greens, mixed patterns and textures in soothing pastel tones with a vibrant spring feel and a mix of fresh spring greens. It comes together to create a serene space, the perfect setting in bringing the outdoors into the home.”

Colourful Refresh

“Celebrating colour in a playful way, Colourful Refresh brings a sense of optimism and renewed energy into the home. With bright pastel shades, it’s a modern spring mix of patterns and textures. Ruffles, stripes and rattan all help to add character, creating a space that feels fresh and inspiring.”

6 ways to invite spring into your home…

Get playful with patterns

“If you want to embrace a maximalist look, spring is the perfect time to get playful with pattern. Start by choosing one hero print, whether that’s a bold floral or graphic stripe, and build around it. Contrast is key, mix larger prints with smaller designs to create depth. This works particularly well for bedding and soft furnishings, as an easy way to change up a blank canvas bedroom or living room. To keep it feeling curated rather than chaotic, use a consistent, intentional colour scheme.”

Textures and textiles

“To achieve a garden-inspired look, layer botanical prints across cushions and soft furnishings. Mixing fresh greens with natural wood and leaf-patterned textile adds warmth and depth, offering an easy way to introduce the feeling of spring into the home.”

Contemporary curves

“A scalloped rug or tassel cushions will soften and add interest, while statement rugs and accessories with curved patterns adds a contemporary feel.”

Simple seasonal blooms

“Nothing refreshes a room for spring quite like fresh flowers and houseplants. A simple vase of tulips on a bedside table instantly adds colour and softness, while leafy houseplants bring texture and a sense of calm. It’s a super simple way to make the space feel lighter, brighter and in tune with the season.”

Serve up spring dining

“Adding a few wooden touches to your table - like serving boards, salad bowls or even wooden-handled cutlery - is an easy way to make it feel warm and welcoming for spring. They pair beautifully with leafy or floral prints and instantly freshen things up. Layer tables with a leaf-print tablecloth, natural seagrass placemats and clear green glassware to transform a table, creating a welcoming space to make memories with loved ones – whether it’s for celebrating Mother’s Day, Easter or simply to elevate everyday dining.”

Colour contrast

“Use contrasting colours, such as turquoise and orange – from the bedroom, kitchen, living and dining table, for an instant lift. Even small touches, like coloured napkins or vases, offer a quick and easy update to pull the look together, making every room feel fresh, fun, and effortlessly styled.”
