It’s finally starting to feel like spring, so if you haven’t started your spring decorating than now is the time to start. And what better way to do that then to start with the fashion runways. I’ve identified 5 key decorating trends that you can take into your home this season but it’s so much more fun when we add a fashion mix to it. I went onto one of my favourite websites called Fashion + Decor and found fashion & room pairings to match my recommended spring 2013 trends. So let’s get started:
1. Bold Colour
Stella McCartney Spring 2013 RTW and House to Home
Just by adding some emerald green (Pantone‘s 2013 colour of the year) into your wardrobe and home will totally put you on trend this season. If green isn’t your colour then any other bright colour will do. Promise.
Elie Saab Spring 2013 RTW and High Point Market
Chanel Spring 2013 RTW and House Beautiful
Alice + Olivia Spring 2013 RTW and Elle Decor
Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2013 RTW and Design Legacy
2. Florals
Every year it seems like florals are on trend for spring…..and why not, flowers to me scream spring time. Its the interpretation that may be different each year. Depending on your personality you can go big and bold with florals – like the wallpapers below or the floral sofa…..or as discreetly as you want with just a few toss cushions on your favourite neutral sofa or fresh flowers in a beautiful vase. Anyway you like it…..just add some florals!!
