Spring Interiors Trends

Spring is always much anticipated season for interior refreshing. This spring, here are some of the trends shaping interior design, as predicted by top designers, and observed in the design choices of the most respected design houses.

Jewel Tones

Spring is ushering in a newfound appreciation for rich vibrant hues like emerald, ruby and sapphire. In stark contrast to the beige wave that washed over the industry for the past few seasons, designers are now going for deeply sensual, warm and comforting experience of jewel tones. These rich and sensual colours are seen in everything from tabletops to finishes, and main furniture to accent pieces, especially since they pair well with metallic materials. Although the use of jewel tones can be tricky to the untrained hand, experimentation is a great way to practice and have fun.

Upholstered Walls and Ceilings

This spring ushers in striking boldness as people become more explorative with their wall choices. Far behind are the days of flat, plain walls as the trend moves towards busier walls in the form of upholstered walls, wood panelling, decorative plaster finishes and even ceiling-to-floor wallpapers. With walls adding character and dimension to these rooms, the design process is off to a good start.

Art Deco

The popular 1930s Art Deco style is making a resurgence in this season, right in tandem with the machine-age direction of technology and artificial intelligence. Art Deco is synonymous with rich contrasting colours, geometric shapes and patterns, symmetry and balance, and luxurious materials like ebony and rich woods.

Integrate art deco into your design through artwork and sculptures, the conspicuous use of glass or mirrors, heterogeneous furniture, and contrasting colour palettes.

Mindful Interior Spaces

As general societal discourse moves toward healthier and more mindful living, the results of these contemplations are finding expression in everything we do: from fashion choices to living spaces. This doubtless has informed the ongoing trend of factoring health and wellness into interiors design.

There are many exciting ways to do this– by having dedicated areas for wellness practices such as yoga and meditation, or integrating wellness into the very theme of your design with a major indoor plant feature, preference for natural light and cleaner air, eliminating of toxic and synthetic materials in preference for more natural or harmless ones (like vegan leather), and much more. Thoughtfully curated spaces that open up to let in the outside is also a big hit this spring.

Intuitive Curation

In the immediate aftermath of the muted tones and minimalistic designs of the past few seasons, a new trend is emerging: intuitive curation. This encourages a preference for design elements and themes that speak to the soul and senses, no matter how quirky they may be. It is a libertarian approach to interior design that allows the inner self lead, and favours extreme personalisation over formulaic curation.
