Hello Spring!!!
Spring is the most beautiful time of year when everything is back to life. You feel and smell the fresh, clean air on your face as you go outdoors and open the windows in your home for the first time after a long winter.
I love how it makes you feel. Your energy levels are high, feeling optimistic and happy. Do you love how you are in the spring? I know I do.
Now have you ever thought of bringing that feeling into your home? It’s not difficult, but you may wonder where you start.
It’s easy.
Why not start with your sofa? Your living room is where you spend the most time after your bedroom hence, the name living.
Spring is the best time of year to refresh your throw pillows and bring a touch of the outside in.
So, time to swap out heavy fabrics like velvet, faux fur, and wool for lighter fabrics like linen or cotton. It helps to make your space feel light, airy, and fresh. It practically screams spring!
But before you rush out and buy all of the pillows you like, the key to getting that pulled-together look is to have a consistent colour running through your pillows and have at least one-three of your accent colours from your living room in your pillows too.
Here is some inspo for styling your sofa for spring that will instantly transform the look and feel of your space:
🌸 Can you add some bright and cheerful throw pillows? Look for throw pillows in bright, cheerful colours like yellow, pink, or green. These colours make us automatically feel good.
🌸 Consider floral patterns, botanical prints, or geometric shapes. Floral patterns are one of the hottest spring trends – the bigger, the better!
🌸 If you love neutrals, incorporate different natural and light materials to give your space a fresh, natural feel. Add a woven throw blanket or a few potted plants to your room to tie in the look.
🌸 Play with patterns: Mix and match different patterns to create a playful, eclectic look. Consider layering floral patterns with stripes, geometric shapes or even a printed lady as I did in my living room.

But don’t go too crazy. The key is to have a consistent colour throughout them to pull the look together and not have it fight against your art above your sofa (if you have any).
🌸 Mix different shapes and sizes to give definition and playfulness to your sofa. You don’t always have to go square; you can go round or even have a lumbar pillow in the mix. Did I mention that round is still a hot shape this spring?
But I recommend keeping it simple and anchoring both ends with the same size and shape, even the same pillow if you like, but it’s not a rule.
It can be a different colour, and even different material to add some pizzazz. Just remember to keep within the colour palette of your living room.
These are just a few ideas for styling your sofa for spring. Get creative and have fun with it!
