There is a particular feeling that arrives with spring.
The light changes first — softer in the morning, longer in the evening, finding its way into corners of the room that spent the winter in shadow. Then comes the instinct to move things around. To open windows. To replace the heavy and the dark with something lighter, something that breathes.
At etcheaz, we think of spring not as a trend to follow, but as a shift in feeling to welcome. Here is how we approach it — with textiles, scent, and objects chosen to make a home feel like itself again, only better.
Start with Light — Let your Textiles Breathe
Winter interiors rely on weight: thick throws, dark tones, layers of warmth. Spring asks for the opposite.
This is not about removing everything and starting again. It is about editing — swapping one heavy element for something that lets light pass through it, choosing colours that reflect rather than absorb.
What to change:
- Fold away the heaviest throws and bring out lighter weights — merino wool or cotton blankets in muted, natural tones
- Swap dark cushion covers for something with a graphic print or unexpected texture
- Move a throw from the sofa to a basket or ladder — displayed rather than just draped
What to keep:
Everything that already feels right. Spring styling is about addition and subtraction, not transformation.
Our pick: Voited CloudTouch Blanket
The Voited CloudTouch is the definition of a transitional textile. Waterproof, packable, and made from recycled materials, it moves effortlessly between indoors and out — on the sofa one afternoon, on a picnic blanket the next. Available in soft, considered colours that work in any interior.
Bring in Colour — but Let it Surprise you
Spring colour in interiors is often misunderstood. It does not mean pastels everywhere, or a sudden explosion of yellow.
The most considered approach is to introduce one or two unexpected colour notes — a saffron vase on a shelf, a glazed ceramic lemon on a kitchen counter, a cushion in a tone you would not usually reach for. The rest of the room stays as it is. The contrast does the work.
The colours we are thinking about this spring:
- Saffron yellow and warm amber — present without being aggressive
- Deep emerald and forest green — grounding, not heavy
- Soft opal and warm white — for light without coldness
- Terracotta and earthy red — connecting the interior to the season outside
Our pick: Vase MUSE
A single hand-blown crystal vase in saffron yellow or emerald green changes the quality of a shelf entirely. The MUSE by Fundamental Berlin is the kind of object that looks different at every hour of the day — catching morning light one way, catching evening light another.
One vase. Infinite rooms.
Also consider: Glazed Ceramic Fruits & Vegetables
A lemon on a windowsill. An orange on a kitchen shelf. Sometimes the smallest objects carry the most seasonal feeling — and the hand-glazed ceramic fruits at etcheaz do exactly that. An affordable, joyful way to bring spring into any corner of the home.
Change the Scent — Let Spring In through the Air
We underestimate how much a room’s atmosphere is shaped by what we smell rather than what we see.
Winter scents tend towards warmth and spice — amber, vanilla, smoke, pine. Spring invites something different: fresher, greener, more open. Citrus, fig leaf, white florals, clean cotton. Scents that feel like open windows.
Changing the candle on your table is one of the simplest and most immediate ways to shift the feeling of a space. It takes thirty seconds and it works every time.
What to look for in a spring candle:
- Natural wax — burns cleaner and carries fragrance more honestly
- Citrus or botanical notes — lemon, citronella, green tea, white flowers
- A considered aesthetic — the candle is an object on your table long before it is lit
Our pick: Candle N°2 Matin de Printemps — Les Choses Simples
Designed for the transition between indoors and outdoors, the citronella candle by Les Choses Simples is one of our favourite spring objects. Natural wax, a fragrance that feels like the first warm evening of the year on a terrace. Beautiful unlit, transformative when burning.
Think about the Transition — Inside and Outside
One of the defining characteristics of spring living is the blurring of the boundary between interior and exterior. The terrace gets a cushion. The picnic blanket comes out of storage. Objects start moving between the kitchen table and the garden.
This is worth designing for deliberately — choosing objects that work in both contexts, and creating a visual continuity between what is inside and what is outside.
A blanket that goes from sofa to picnic. Candles that burn equally well on a dining table and a terrace. Cushions that survive outdoor evenings as well as indoor mornings.
Our pick: Outdoor Cushion — Common Modern
Designed specifically for the transition between indoor and outdoor use, these cushions bring the same design sensibility to a garden chair or terrace bench as to a living room sofa. Durable, considered, and available in botanical prints that feel entirely of this season.
Edit one Surface at a Time
The most common mistake in seasonal restyling is trying to redo everything at once.
Instead, choose one surface — a shelf, a coffee table, a windowsill, a console — and treat it as a small composition. Remove what no longer feels right for the season. Add one or two new objects. Stand back and look.
Then leave it for a week before touching anything else.
A spring shelf composition to try:
- One vase with a single stem or branch of spring blossom
- One ceramic object for texture and colour (a glazed lemon, a small sculptural piece)
- One candle — unlit, but present as an object
- One book, lying flat, as a base for the other objects
- One empty space — resist the urge to fill it
The empty space is as important as everything else.
