SPRING SPRUCE UP!
GIVE YOUR HOUSE A STYLISH YET AFFORDABLE UPDATE WITH THE LATEST INTERIOR TRENDS
Spring has officially sprung and what better way to embrace the season of change than to freshen up your space. As much as we love a makeover, they can often be costly and time consuming. Luckily there are clever ways to spruce up your space without overhauling your entire home. Vanessa Colyer Tay, head of styling at Temple & Webster, talks us through the current interior trends and how to instantly update your home using chic decor.
1 TUFTED TEXTURE
Much like last year’s bouclé boom, raised tufting offers a fresh way to add a point of visual interest to slick shapes and neutral colours, ensuring our homes remain cosy and inviting. Work this trend into your home with quilt covers, cushions and rugs. Target Cushion, $25, target.com.au
2 CHECKERBOARD
This playful eye-catching grid pattern has moved past the picnic table and is now entering bedrooms and bathrooms. Incorporate smaller checks in muted tones through quilt covers, bathrobes and towels for an instant seasonal update. Linen House 4-Piece Napkin Set, $24.99, linenhouse.com
3 ANCIENT ORNAMENTS
Decor referencing ancient Greek and Roman busts have been increasingly popular this year. Bring an heirloom feel to your space with sculptural candles, candle holders, columnshaped ornaments and classical bookends. XRJ Celebrations Candle, $35, xrjcelebrations.com.au
5 UNIQUELY SHAPED VASES
Create Insta-worthy shelfies with statement vases in curvy shapes, geometric forms and styles featuring multiple openings for plant stems. Target Vase, $12, target.com.au. au. Linen House Vases, $49.99 and $54.99, linenhouse.com. Adairs Vase, $19.99, adairs.com
6 FLUTED EDGES
Scalloped or ribbed mouldings are certainly not new, but we’re seeing more of it in furniture and decor. To easily incorporate this trend, add ceramic planters and side tables with fluted finishes.

7 COLOURED GLASSWARE
As dining table settings relax, glassware has become more fun and playful with mismatched sets in rainbow colours. Brighten up your dinner parties with ribbed glasses and vintage-style goblets with pressed glass motifs. Morgan & Finch Goblet, $6.95, bedbathntable. com.au. Kmart Set of 6 Glasses, $14, kmart.com.au
