There’s been a growing trend toward home decor that not only feels lived-in and familiar, but also unique to our own stories and tastes. This more customized approach to interior designing our most personal spaces encourages a return to meaningful and purposeful details. To this end, traditional furniture silhouettes can play a very useful role, since they provide a more streamlined backdrop for your thoughtful touches to shine without feeling overwhelming. Create even more possibilities for customization as the seasons (or your preferences) change when you add a slipcover option to your traditional sofa or accent chair style. Our team of expert designers love the Gilmore slipcovered sofa from Cisco Home, whose clean and simple aesthetic makes for easier style layering too. The Yvonne chair, also from Cisco Home, is another great way to incorporate a more traditional furniture silhouette that still feels timeless and elegant.

This year, and particularly for spring, don’t shy away from using bold patterns and stripes to accentuate your interior design. These classic patterns have made an impressive comeback, and the vibrant energy of spring is a particularly apt time of year to try them out for yourself. Layering your style, and even pattern-drenching with stripes, florals, and small-scale prints can be a fun way to make a room more homey and personal, while still feeling intentional and stylish. Our designers recommend the bestselling Madeline sofa from Rowe, whose vintage-inspired look lends itself beautifully to a wide range of patterned upholstery choices. The refined and sculptural design of the upholstered Emily chair from Cisco Home is another piece you’ll love in eye-catching stripes or florals this spring.

As days grow longer and warmer, you’ll want to be sure your outdoor “rooms” are just as comfortable and appealing to enjoy as your indoor spaces. Think sculptural tables made of stunning stone materials, or plush outdoor sofas and eye-catching accent chairs decked out in sumptuous performance fabrics. Since leading sustainable furniture manufacturer Ethnicraft is always ahead of the design curve with their stunning outdoor furniture, spring is the perfect time to share their newest outdoor collection! You’ll look forward to whiling away the hours outside with their Monocle modular outdoor sectional, whose plush cushions and solid base in FSC certified teak wood will make sunshine lounge time feel luxurious. You might also try the Elements outdoor coffee table with its modern architectural beauty and cement construction; exquisite enough to hold its own indoors, this piece is intentionally designed, and durably protected for outdoor spaces.

One of the quickest and most approachable ways to refresh your home for a new season is to update your home accents. Start by swapping in lighterweight textures like Belgian linen for your bedding, accent pillows, and table throws. Libeco is a longstanding customer favorite for organic Belgian linen, and their new collection includes everything from napkin sets and coverlets, to pillow covers and pièce de Lin in striped patterns, vibrant blues, and other nature-inspired springtime colors. We also love the simple ceramic vases from The Floral Society, which encourage you to bring the bounty of fresh spring blooms inside for a natural pop of color and beauty. To that end, why not try incorporating even more nature into your indoor and outdoor design by treating your plants to a charming new planter pot from Bergs Potter?
