Four interior design styles set to trend this spring

With winter halfway through, all eyes are on spring and the trends set to bloom with the warming weather. 

When renovating a home or building a new one, finding the right design style can create a cosy environment and breezy aesthetic for each season.  

Recent insights from windows coverings brand Luxaflex highlight how these design choices not only reflect personal taste but also enhance the functionality of living spaces.  

For instance, warming your home with cosy textures and rich tones during the cooler months can create a sense of snug refuge.  

Embracing lighter palettes and materials during warmer months can ensure a refreshing retreat from the summer heat.  

Here are four design moods that are currently emerging and are set to reshape home style throughout the rest of the year.   

1. Mocha mousse  

Embrace warmth and elegance with the “mocha mousse” palette, a design style that thrives on rich grounding tones.  

This versatile neutral acts as a standalone hue or can provide a base for layering with warm arid tones, soft clays and antique whites.  

“Rich and grounded tones bring warmth and nourishment for the mind, body and soul,” Luxaflex head of product and marketing Diana Altiparmakova said. 

“Homeowners are looking to create comfortable and adaptable environments while being more creative with the use of texture, shape and colour.”  

Evoke Property Group’s Elevaire development on the Gold Coast is one example of this colourway that features a “subtle and inviting” palette, inspired by its local environment.  

2. Luxe farmhouse 

For those drawn to timeless aesthetics, “luxe farmhouse” presents a compelling choice.  

This style embodies the traditional Australian farmhouse with symmetry, texture, and traditional patterns, highlighted by a colour palette of antique white and muted grey.  

Ms Altiparmakova suggested making a statement by pairing dark, contrasting furniture with white, clean materials.  

She recommended “sheer curtains feature a soft, lightweight woven fabric that elegantly diffuse sunlight to naturally brighten up a room while also retaining some daytime privacy.” 

“[They are] a perfect option for both winter and summer and for rooms that don’t require complete blockout.”

3. Modern Gatsby 

Dive into an era-spanning blend of vintage and contemporary with the “modern Gatsby” style.  

This design captures the imagination with its use of jewel tones and luxurious materials that make bold, dramatic statements.  

“Switching the colour scheme of a room to deep jewel tones such as rich saturated reds and contrasting moody mustard is an easy way to inject warmth, while textures and fabrics can also enhance a luxurious feel,” Ms Altiparmakova said. 

Devitt Property Group’s The Muse in Melbourne’s St Kilda is one example of this opulent look with its interiors designed in collaboration by Bruce Henderson Interiors, K.P.D.O and Greg Natale design.  

Future residents will also be able to consult with one of the three firms to further tailor their homes layouts and finishes. 

4. Coastal canvas

The “coastal canvas” style brings the essence of the sea indoors, marrying classic seaside elements with a refined contemporary twist.  

Its fresh and airy colour palette is dominated by whites, soft blues, greens, and sandy neutrals, evoking the tranquil beauty of coastal environments. 

The Coastal Canvas style is ideal for those who appreciate natural touches and year-round elegance. It encourages the use of layering techniques, where different materials and furnishings coalesce to introduce comfort and functionality.
