Spring Refresh: Easy Ways to Transform Your Home with Soft Furnishings, Paint & Wallpaper

As the days get longer and nature begins to bloom, Spring invites us to open the windows, shake off the winter blues, and breathe new life into our homes. A full renovation isn’t necessary — sometimes, a few thoughtful changes can dramatically transform your space.

Whether you’re after a total mood shift or a gentle seasonal update, focusing on soft furnishings, paint, and wallpaper can work wonders. Here’s how to give your home a fresh, stylish lift this spring.

Spring is all about light, air, and renewal — and colour is the quickest way to capture that feeling. Repainting even a single room can shift the entire atmosphere of your home.

If you’re not ready to commit to painting an entire room, try a single accent wall. Choose one in a living room, bedroom, or hallway to add depth and interest. You can always have a Venetian or polished plaster to add texture also.

Style Your Space with Soft Furnishings

Textiles are one of the easiest (and most affordable) ways to transform a space. Swapping out heavier winter fabrics for lighter spring textures instantly makes a room feel brighter and more inviting.

Switch out cushions and throws

Think of breathable cotton and linens in fresh colours or soft floral prints. Layering different textures adds a sense of comfort and interest.

Update your curtains

Light, sheer curtains allow more natural light to pour in while still offering privacy. They also help make a room feel larger and more open.

Refresh your bedroom

Swap thick duvets for lighter quilts or bedspreads. Choose bedding in crisp whites, soft blush tones, or leafy greens to bring the outdoors in.

Add Personality with Wallpaper or a Decorative Wall Finish

Wallpaper has made a huge comeback — and spring is the perfect time to experiment. Whether you prefer bold florals, delicate botanicals, or textured neutrals, wallpaper is a great way to express your style.

A single wallpapered wall or a decorative wall finish can add instant character. Try it in a reading nook, or on a chimney breast or media unit.

Go subtle or bold in your design choices

For a fresh, airy look, opt for pastel florals or textured neutral prints. For more drama, try geometric or art deco prints in muted tones.

To create a space that feels intentional (not accidental), tie your paint, wallpaper, and furnishings together with a consistent colour palette or theme

Spring is about new beginnings — and your home deserves a refresh just as much as your wardrobe or garden. By focusing on soft furnishings, a fresh coat of paint, and a touch of wallpaper, you can transform your space into a lighter, brighter sanctuary that welcomes the season.
