As winter bids its final farewell and nature begins to awaken, it's the perfect time to infuse your living spaces with the fresh and vibrant energy of spring. One delightful way to kickstart your seasonal decor journey is by creating a spring decorating moodboard. This visual inspiration board will serve as a guiding light, helping you curate a space that reflects the beauty and renewal of this blooming season. We've created our own moodboard which you can see below. Using google images and Pinterest can help inspire you!

1: Capturing the Essence of Spring
Start your moodboard by gathering images that encapsulate the essence of spring. Think of blossoming flowers, chirping birds, and the gentle warmth of sunlight filtering through the trees. Incorporate pictures that evoke feelings of rejuvenation, growth, and positivity. Nature-inspired colours such as soft greens, pastel pinks, and sky blues can be the foundation of your moodboard, setting the tone for the rest of your decorating journey.
2: Choosing a Theme
Once you've captured the overall mood, consider choosing a specific theme to guide your decorating decisions. Whether it's a botanical garden, a picnic in the park, or a springtime meadow, having a central theme will help create cohesion in your decor. Select images that align with your chosen theme and highlight elements that resonate with you, whether it's the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms or the vibrant hues of tulip fields.
3: Texture and Materials
Spring is all about embracing lightness and airiness. Infuse your moodboard with images that showcase different textures and materials synonymous with the season. Consider incorporating soft fabrics like linen or cotton, and explore natural materials such as rattan or bamboo. Images of cosy blankets, fresh floral arrangements, and breezy curtains can help convey the tactile sensations of spring.
4: Seasonal Accents and Décor
No spring decorating moodboard is complete without a nod to the delightful accents that define the season. Incorporate images of playful throw pillows, botanical prints, and seasonal artwork. Consider DIY projects like crafting a floral wreath or repurposing vintage vases for your favourite spring blooms. These details will add a personal touch to your space while keeping it in tune with the season.
5: Bringing it to Life
Now that your moodboard is complete, it's time to bring your vision to life. Use your moodboard as a reference when selecting furniture, textiles, and decor items for your space. Keep the colour palette consistent and embrace the elements that speak to the essence of spring. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns and textures to add depth and interest to your decor.


Creating a spring decorating moodboard is a delightful and inspiring way to usher in the season of renewal. By curating a visual representation of your vision, you'll find it easier to transform your living spaces into a haven of freshness and positivity. So, gather your favourite images, let your creativity bloom, and welcome the spirit of spring into your home!

The quest for a beautifully decorated home is a journey filled with decisions, and one of the pivotal choices is whether to enlist the expertise of a professional decorator or embark on a do-it-yourself (DIY) adventure. In this blog post, we'll explore the merits of both approaches, helping you navigate the path to your dream home.

The DIY Delight:

1. Personal Touch and Creativity:
One of the most compelling aspects of DIY is the opportunity to infuse your space with a personal touch. From choosing colour palettes to selecting furnishings, DIY allows for an expression of your unique taste and creativity.

2. Cost-Effective Solutions:
DIY projects often provide cost-effective alternatives. With a bit of ingenuity, thrift-store finds can be transformed into statement pieces, and budget-friendly materials can be used to achieve high-end looks.

3. Flexible Timeline:
DIY projects offer the flexibility to work at your own pace. Whether you're tackling one room at a time or spreading tasks over weekends, you have control over the timeline of your home transformation.

4. Sense of Accomplishment:
Completing a DIY project brings a profound sense of accomplishment. From painting walls to assembling furniture, witnessing the tangible results of your efforts can be immensely satisfying.

5. Learning and Skill Development:
DIY provides an excellent opportunity to learn new skills. Whether you're honing your painting techniques, mastering the art of upholstery, or experimenting with decor styles, each project becomes a lesson in itself.

The Professional Choice:

1. Expertise and Vision:
Professional decorators bring a wealth of expertise and a keen artistic vision to the table. Their trained eye can transform a space, making informed decisions about layout, colour schemes, and furnishings to create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing environment.

2. Time Efficiency:
Hiring a professional decorator can save you valuable time. From project planning to execution, professionals streamline the process, ensuring efficient use of resources and timely completion.

3. Access to Resources:
Design professionals have access to a vast network of resources, including exclusive materials, furnishings, and industry connections. This access enables them to curate a unique look for your home that may be challenging to achieve independently.

4. Customization and Detailing:
Professionals excel in the art of customisation. They can tailor designs to suit your preferences, paying meticulous attention to details that elevate the overall aesthetic of your space.

5. Stress Reduction:
Entrusting your project to a professional decorator alleviates stress. From project management to problem-solving, professionals handle the intricacies, allowing you to enjoy the transformation without the burden of logistical challenges.

Hygge is a big trend for 2017. The word gained a lot of momentum in 2016 and has inspired a lot of interior trends.

In Danish, hygge (pronounced “HUE-gah”) is all about cosiness, spending time with loved ones and the joy of winter. Though there are many ways to describe hygge, we see it simply as the Danish ritual of enjoying life's simple pleasures. Friends. Family. Graciousness. Not just reserved for winter!

Spring is almost here so we thought today we would share a "Spring Brights" moodboard we put together. Fresh flowers (tulips, daffodils), circular mirrors and bright colours paired with a neutral tone such as white or grey really stood out to us.
