Home fashions for spring 2007 are following the clothing fashions seen on the catwalks, so if you want some quick and easy ways to update your home this spring, look no further than your favourite fashion magazine.
The first big trend is Florals. Just as spring makes you want to adorn yourself in pretty flowers, it should also inspire you to dress your home in flowers too. The quickest, lowest commitment way to do this is to buy some fresh flowers, get out a pale or glass vase and get displaying them.
The fashionable flowers to use for this season are those that are delicate and romantic, especially those that work well with twigs and bark to emphasise a more rugged look. Choose freesias, roses, narcissus, lilies and tulips.
However if you have a bigger makeover in mind you will be able to find flowers on anything you want – from cushions and curtains to china, linens and even upholstery. You can go wild and create a country-style chintz display or simple add a floral table cloth to get in with this trend.
This natural look leads us onto the next big trend – the colour Green, especially in a leaf design. Green is calming and the perfect partner for all those florals. Now, green can be overpowering so be selective; a glossy green vase, a single green table or a feature wall would make a perfect accent for a room. Leaf designs can go anywhere from artwork to soft furnishings, and their greater subtlety makes them an easier option for getting the green trend into your home.
The final trend is also straight off the catwalk, and it is for those of you who love drama! Black and White graphic designs from stripes to 60’s op-art, checks to spots are the hot trend for the fashion focused interior. You could go for a mainly black interior and to make the room seem larger choose glossy accessories with white and green accents. Alternatively black accents in an all white interior will also be modern and dramatic.
