Top Spring Design Trends
Did you know that spring design trends include a fascinating mix of styles, according to a trio of leading U.S. designers? Here are their favourites: Reclaimed wood – the ultimate ‘green’ choice is to use antique wood for counter tops, floors and trim. Mixing distressed wood into a modern space creates an interesting, layered style. French grey – this warm rich shade adds depth to any room. It changes hue with the lighting and offers a simple background from which bright accessories and furnishings really pop. Translucent furniture – the airy look of clear plastic furniture fits this age of downsizing with a minimalist statement. Bold accessories – accessories in eye-catching shades of yellow, green, purple and orange lift the spirits by bringing nature’s palette indoors.
