Flowers budding in garden plots. A touch of warmth infusing the air. Lingering light at sunset as the days gradually grow longer. Spring is approaching, and for many of us, this season of rebirth can be seen as a fresh slate or an opportunity to try something new – especially in our home environment.
Whether you switch up a few small accents or have been waiting for the right moment to enact a more intensive re-imagining of your space, refreshing your interior for the spring can connect you to the season and make you feel more joy in your surroundings. Below, find five aesthetic themes we’ve compiled for your inspiration – featuring input from our design experts at Copenhagen Tucson, Will Joffroy and Maurice Brantley.
Long associated with the arrival of warmer weather, flowers are a beloved symbol of springtime. Even a simple bouquet of seasonal blooms placed on a table or windowsill can fill a room with cheer. If live flowers aren’t your preference, then faux plants, upholstery with floral prints, or accessories with botanical motifs might be more to your liking.
For Brantley, accessories are key – “I recommend selecting accessories based on season and rotating them throughout the year,” he says. “By giving them a special time when they can be featured, you can enjoy the aesthetic aspect of them more.”
In addition to floral-themed pieces like vases, wall art, throw pillows, and more, think also of colors, shapes, and textures that make you feel like you’re in a blooming garden. Pastel shades like pink, yellow, lavender, and light green are popular choices, as well as light neutrals like white, cream, or beige. Furniture with curved lines can add a playful yet subtle touch, while fuzzy, silky, or sheer textures add sensory depth.

Embrace the energy of the season with a design aesthetic that puts some pep in your step. Bold, vibrant hues are a great way to renew your interior and give it a dynamic atmosphere. Try splashes of color in accent furnishings and accessories or, if you’re feeling daring, choose larger statement pieces in shades that catch your eye.
“This is a trend I’ve seen evolving over the last year or so – a lot of bold pops of color and saturated color,” notes Joffroy. “Some people may even have a room where it’s all tones of green or blue or purple! So if you want to move away from pastels for spring, try experimenting with bolder versions of those tints.”
Any color of the rainbow is fair game for this theme, from vivid reds to sunny yellows to bright blues and more. As a tip, you will probably find it more pleasing to anchor your colors with neutral shades that balance them out.

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to take your color game even further, consider an aesthetic centered on darker, richer hues. Though this kind of color palette may not be what immediately comes to mind when one thinks of spring, its dramatic yet cozy effect will appeal to those seeking something unique.
“Going into 2025, I’m seeing more emphasis on color saturation, whether it be vibrant pops of color or moodier shades like olive green, brown, or burnt orange,” says Joffroy. “I think there’s a balance between the idea of spring being a time when everything comes back to life, versus the desire to create a sense of comfort in the home with the color palette.”
For this aesthetic, think of earth tones, jewel tones, and any pure hue that’s been made deeper by adding a little black or grey to it. Wood is a great complement to this palette, especially darker finishes like walnut, mahogany, or black ash. Finally, balance out dark tones with the strategic inclusion of light or neutral colors, and be sure the space gets ample lighting to keep it from feeling too heavy.

With spring cleaning on the to-do lists of many people, now is a great time to declutter or re-organize your home. This can be as simple as clearing space by donating items that you no longer find joy or utility in. You can also invest in furniture and other items that help with organization or multifunctional pieces that serve more than one purpose.
“I think decluttering is on the minds of many customers right now,” says Brantley. “They’re asking themselves, ‘How can I make my space less chaotic?’ One trend I’ve noticed is that people are moving away from displaying china and crystal in glass cabinets, opting instead to store them behind closed doors.”
Indeed, keeping items inside storage furnishings can cut down on the perception of visual clutter, which can be helpful if you’re not willing to discard items but still want a cleaner-looking space. Also be aware of a room’s layout and arrange furniture so that activities and movement can flow smoothly.

Capture the spirit of spring with an aesthetic that makes you feel surrounded by lush greenery. You can opt for real or faux plants to bring the outdoors in, add accents or focal pieces in shades of green, or gravitate toward materials like wood, glass, or stone. Try accessorizing with artwork of your favorite landscapes, or anything that lets you feel calm and connected to the natural world.
Closely entwined with this theme is the philosophy of biophilic design, which states that humans are innately drawn to other living things. What’s more, studies have shown that exposure to nature or reminders of nature have positive effects on our wellbeing.
Another aspect of a Green Sanctuary design theme to consider is sustainability. If you’re buying new furnishings, do a little research and prioritize options that are made from sustainable materials or manufactured in environmentally conscious ways.
