Talking Tips & Trends for Spring with some of Laurel’s Local Designers
SUMMARY: Spring brings new trends for refreshing your home, focusing on creating a warm, cozy sanctuary with rich colors like reds, rusts, and oranges, especially in kitchens, moving away from grays. The trend emphasizes balance in vibrant hues, integrating strong furniture pieces or décor in black to avoid overwhelming spaces. Designers highlight the importance of classic interior design elements such as millwork, moldings, neutral walls, marble, wood flooring, and antique furniture for timeless appeal. Mixing metals like gold, silver, and bronze is popular, along with a relaxed, collected look. Bedrooms are evolving into personal sanctuaries with romantic, comforting canopies and textured bedding. Aesthetic trends include Asian influences, framed botanicals, and the cozy cottage look, encouraging personalized design mixing vintage with modern décor.
