Five Fresh Furniture Ideas for Spring

Nothing shocks the system quite like the British weather's sudden switch from dreary Winter to the brisk, sun-tinted Spring. For interior designers, us furniture freaks, or any house-proud homeowner this can be the busiest times of the year, as we make the switch from home-filling furniture and darker shades to light items (in colour and size).

The key to revamping your home in time for Spring can lay in a few design furniture items. As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, the clumpy but practical items in Winter need to be replaced by smaller and minimalistic items. When it comes to Spring and Summer, less is definitely more.

Below, we give you 5 furniture must-haves for this coming season, which are essential in converting your home from that "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" feel to a more modern, funky look.

Florence Knoll 2 Seat Sofa (in white) 

It may be an item that many of you may already own- its versatility is one of the Florence Knoll most compelling features. However, colour is key here- get yourself a 2 seat in a light colour (preferably white) to create an open, airy atmosphere.

Barcelona Chair & Stool

Even its name conjures up connotations of clear skies and Spring breeze. The colour is not important when it comes to this item- its beauty is in its daintiness and strikingly modern look.

Wegner Y Chair

Admittedly, I may be a little bias when it comes to this item- it ranks as one of my favourite design items of all time. But that is not the only reason it makes the list. Its versatility makes it stand out- it can be an indoor chair or used outdoors when entertaining guests on those long Spring and Summer nights.

Bubble Chair

The Bubble Chair's translucent acrylic shell allows the Spring's sunshine fill any room, whilst adding another dimension on 1960s cool. It will open any room and its swivel will allow the sitter to view the whole room whenever they want.

Statement Rug (60p Stamp Rug)

What sets out a room's intentions or completes them better than a statement rug? You can add an another splash of colour by selecting a garish Stamp Rug, which will capture everyones imagination.
