Style tips
1 Keep walls and floors white and accent them with zinging accessories
in citrus shades of yellow, green and orange.
2 Ditch dusty old pot plants for fresh blooms – bunches of hyacinths,
daffodils and tulips scream sunshine. Or fake it with Habitat’s single
stems, from £5.
3 Spring’s not just about brights. Open the door to florals, birds and
butterflies. Roseandgrace.co.uk
has a field-full of spring accessories.
4 Bounce the sunrays around with some perfectly positioned mirrors.
Littlewoods’ mirrored birds will give your wall wings.
5 Heavy curtains block the light, obvs. Instead, pin up floaty voile or
lace panels (try Lauraashley.com)
and let the sunshine in.
