Our Top Design Picks for Spring 2020

Whether you’re moving, renovating, redecorate or simply rearranging your home and living environment, springtime provides the perfect opportunity to elevate and shift your surroundings.

With new beginnings in mind, here our top design picks for Spring 2020.

A New Take on Tile

The subway-tiled backsplash is a classic for a reason. However, this season tile is a lot more playful. Different shapes, sizes and textures of tile can add an element of heritage flair to your kitchen, bathroom, entry way or laundry room, while a bold feature wall in your living area can be a showstopper.

Bring the Outdoors In

You don’t have to create a living wall to make an green statement in your home. Adding a few single plants to your space can make a big difference, even if you’re just diversifying your houseplant collection. Plants add a pop of bright colour, and their varied textures create organic visual interest. Connecting with nature in your home is always a good idea, and there’s no better time than spring to get started.

Incorporate Vintage Accents

Maybe it’s a painting you inherited from a family member, a chair with a nostalgic details, or a not-so-antique Grecian-style bust. Vintage accents have the ability to tell a story and add perspective, but don’t let them overwhelm your space. Be intentional with their placement—think of these nods to tradition as playful statement pieces that can enhance your home’s overall style.

Go Bold

Minimal Scandinavian design and neutral palettes are always a classic and cult favourite in the world of interior design. Now, with a new season, it’s time to embrace colour and lean into the bold. Animal print in the bedroom? Absolutely. Painting your ceiling a bold colour? Definitely. Incorporating velvet statement furniture? Now’s the time! Maximalism isn’t about anything and everything; like any cohesive aesthetic, you’ll still want to be intentional with your selection. Give yourself the freedom and permission to explore big colours and textures, even if it’s starting small with new pillows or an accent chair. Small strategic steps when it comes to interior design, can still have a strong impact!
