Let the light in
Spring is the perfect time to take down heavy curtains and introduce light, sheer drapery to your living spaces. Drapes come in an impressive range of shades, weights, and styles - the days of polyester net curtains are long gone! From classic white linen to muted sage and caramel shades, there’s a fabric to complement every space.
For spaces where you want full control over your light levels and privacy - like bedrooms and bathrooms - shutters are an excellent option. Visit our showroom to browse the full range of versatile, high-quality shutters from Luxaflex.

Introduce natural elements
One of the easiest ways to brighten your home is by adding botanical elements - like fresh spring bouquets and indoor plants - which instantly add a summery feel to any space.
Natural materials and nature-inspired textures are also a simple way to make your home feel lighter and more organic. Swap out your heavy winter bedding for linen, introduce natural jute rugs and woven throws, and keep an eye out for beautiful handmade ceramic decor.

If you prefer a less literal approach to bringing the outside in, incorporate natural tones into your colour palettes. Soft greens, light pastels and warm neutrals all create a fresh, calming ambience.
This doesn’t mean you have to repaint; updating artwork and decor, cushions and throws can make a surprisingly big difference. Browse our online store for inspiration.

Upgrade your outdoor spaces
Make the most of lighter, warmer evenings with a well-curated outdoor space. A thoughtfully designed outdoor living area should include privacy, protection from the elements, and furniture that encourages conversation and relaxation.
