Fingers crossed we've said goodbye to the last of the snow and it's finally time to embrace the better weather. But if your home is still clinging on to the winter cobwebs, here's our top tips on how to update your home for spring and summer:

  1. Say goodbye to metallics

The winter months were all about metallic accessories but we think it's time to swap your brass for glass. Glass helps to make a space feel brighter and more airy so you can make the most of the longer hours of daylight.

  1. Inject just a little colour

If you’re still a huge fan of grey interiors like us, the thought of bright colours can make us feel a little uneasy. But fortunately, we’re not suggesting you need a bright pink sofa or a yellow rug to embrace spring.

Little changes, like a fresh bunch of flowers or a couple of new scatter cushions can make all the difference.

Here, the grey Alexander & James Audrey Sofa has been transformed with beautiful cushions, bold wall art and a pop of colour from the Alexander & James Artisan Footstool.

  1. Clutter Clear-Out

If there’s one bug we don’t mind catching, it’s the spring cleaning bug. Take this opportunity to rid your home of the unwanted clutter that sneakily builds up over the winter months.

To make letting go a little bit easier, we recommend tackling one room at a time. It's also helpful to remember that you might be able to sell or donate a lot of your things... it doesn't all need to go in the bin!

 

  1. Spruce up your Storage

Now that you’re left with only the things you really need and love, it’s time to re-think your storage solutions.

You might find that your existing storage is perfectly adequate now that you’ve got rid of the things you don’t need. Or you might find that your chunky sideboard and rickety bookcase no longer fit your new-found minimalist mind set.

Fortunately, our range of storage solutions covers all bases, whether you’re desperate for shoe storage or you’re a book lover with 100s of titles needing a proper home. Here are some of our favourites:
