Freshen Up your Skincare this Spring with these 9 BC Based Skincare Products
Brighten your space with furniture and accessories that celebrate spring in all its splendour
With winter fully behind us (hooray!), heading outdoors to bask in glorious, warm sunshine is something we’ve been addicted to doing every day. But our homes deserve a bit of freshening up, too, which is why we’ve curated a selection of home decor items that will give every room a boost with happy springtime vibes.
Keep reading for seven items that will brighten up your home this season…
With a zany zigzag pattern in soft pastel hues, this toss is perfect for jazzing up minimalist, neutral-coloured spaces. We love its girly-meets-quirky appeal too.Available at Urban Barn, $59
Furniture plays such an important role in creating the atmosphere you want for your home. Bring a breath of fresh air into your living room instantly with accent pieces like this chair. Its orangey-red Spice upholstery and retro design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing—what’s not to love?Available at Bed Bath & Beyond (online only), $493.99
So you might not have green thumbs, but there’s no reason why you can’t have flowers in your home. This gorgeous vase, a collaboration between Brooklyn-based illustrator Leah Goren and fashion label Anthropologie, comes covered in colourful hand-painted blooms, lending a sweet, romantic aura to your tabletop or mantle.Available at Anthropologie, $32
Coffee tables can tend to appear blocky or sturdy. Not this one: with sleek brushed gold legs and a tempered glass tabletop in a subtle wash of pale blue, it’s effortlessly timeless and chic to boot. Its rounded edges also prevent any mishaps that might happen if you have active little ones running around!Available at Article, $149
We’re partial to Diptyque’s scented candles, and this limited edition design is oh-so-covetable. Its bold pink and orange packaging, coupled with the heady, rich scent of damask rose, makes this one stunning and soothing fragrance. Available at Nordstrom, $102
Don’t neglect the bedroom when it comes to infusing your home with spring vibes. This duvet cover features abstract splashes of colour, is made of organic cotton, and is produced in a Fair Trade Certified facility. Now that’s how you enjoy a good night’s sleep!Available at West Elm, $89-$119
Another fuss-free way to liven up your space is by installing cheery wallpaper. This caught our eyes for its vibrant peach print (summer in Italy, anyone?), and will make such a fun statement wall for your entryway, bedroom or kitchen.Available at Urban Outfitters (online only), $59
