Bold and bright is IN for spring.

The new light of spring is reflected  with colour and brightness filling every room in the house. Strong colour is found in everything from cushion covers to bed-sets and bathtowels, while zigzag prints and sweet polka dots provide a styling contrast. Washed and unbleached linens provide a neutral touch, especially in the kitchen, where gardening motifs and florals are also key. Smocking and ruffles bring a sense of romantic bohemia, while a sense of retro is found with 50's style prints to bring fun and an optimistic spirit to the home.




The coming spring is about light and natural colour shades, as well as bright colours - the big trend for spring 2012.  Decorate your home with mini-print cushion covers and bed linen in different prints for a mix-and-match look, while for a fun look there are happy fruit graphics for every room.
