Try these colourful ideas to welcome the warm weather with bright and cheery home decor!

1 Dessert plates in rose watercolour swirl

Bring the cheerful season to your tabletop with pastel dessert plates. These porcelain ones are handmade and finished with a rose pink glaze in a watercolour pattern.

2 Orchard curtains

Replace heavy curtains with sheer ones that will let the season's natural light shine into your home.

3 Floral pillow cover

Let florals reign supreme this spring! This gorgeous pillow cover is a simple way to bring the rejuvenating feeling of the warm weather into your home after a long, cold winter.

4 Mariposa butterfly shadow box

Add happy hues to your home with butterfly motifs, such as in the form of artwork.

5 Ditsy daisy sheet set

You don't need to change your entire bedding set to bring a dose of colour to the bedroom. This set of sheets will jazz up your plain bedding and add a fresh look to the room.

6 Tile wool kilim rug

Roll up that dark rug and put it away until next winter! For spring, make a dramatic change to your living room with a new rug in a cheerful colour and pattern, like this turquoise wool kilim rug from West Elm. Handcrafted in India, this rug feels as good as it looks. Tile Wool Kilim Rug, West Elm, starting at $69.

6 Waveform rug

Make a dramatic change to your living room with a new rug in a cheerful colour and pattern, like this turquoise Waveform option from West Elm.

7 Pink footstool

Add an unexpected pop of colour in your living room. This pale pink linen ottoman is the perfect mix-and-match piece that can move from room to room, and can complement rather than compete with your existing furniture.

8 Cleo duvet cover

Swapping out an old or boring duvet cover for something fresh and bright can make a huge impact. This particular duvet cover features a floral motif that’s just perfect for summer.

9 Fortuna shower curtain

Breathe some new life into your bathroom with a new shower curtain! In a soft palette of blue and green, these colours call to mind the tranquility of the beach and add a calm feeling to the space.

Instead of a typical solid colour fabric, this chair shows off a crisp cotton weave in a gorgeous pattern of blue and neutral stripes. The classic style ensures it remains a timeless piece you'll adore year after year.
