In the spring I love nothing more than a fresh set of bedding, blooming flowers on the dining table and one or two new home pieces to spruce up the place. 'Cottage core' is still the aesthetic I go for when decorating for the warmer seasons as I love the airy, yet inviting feel that it offers. Today I am sharing some of my top picks, from bedding to lampshades, I have compiled a selection of my favourites.
First up is bedding which is very important to me. Linen is great for the transitional season as it keeps your warm when you need it, yet cools you down as we head in to warmer nights. I also love a frill, floral or gingham detail as I find this adds colour and texture in a space that can usually be rather minimal and plain.
Next up I want to shed some light on the importance of the 'little details'. As much as big furniture swaps can be exciting, I actually have found that it's the small decor changes that make the biggest difference to the overall look. Lampshades are a great example of this as they usually aren't the first thing you notice when you enter a room, yet they can easily upgrade an area especially when choosing the right one for that 'cosy feel'.
I also love to add wicker baskets and straw hats whenever I can as I personally think this adds a cottage feel to any spot. Pair them with secondhand paintings and a vase of fresh flowers and you've got yourself a freshly updated corner for spring.
