Spring SHADES

Give your home a lift and decorate it in these fresh and cheerful colours

1 SPRING GREENS 

Small pops of bright colour can have just as much impact as big and bold ones, like this striking green pattern. Opt for matching soft furnishings, pairing cushion and curtain fabrics, then pick out the key colours in the rest of your accessories.

2 PRETTIEST PASTELS

A go-to for spring and summer months, bring together pastel pinks, blues and greens to freshen up a room. Stay away from colour on walls and woodwork; instead use bright white as a blank canvas to show off your palette. Be adventurous with your choice of accessories, mixing together plain and patterned pastels items.
