Huzzah! Spring is here—and with it come the contractors and house painters. There’s an easier, faster, and less expensive way, though, to refresh your space : simply add a decorative touch or two that’s light, bright, or airy. Below, some spring-celebrating ideas from our editors.
Above: Fan has this Daisy Vase, by Egyptian brand Malaika, on her wish list. “It’s so pretty that even without flowers, it reminds me of spring.” It’s $83 on Goodee. Above: Consider swapping a heavy blanket with this Arya Linen Bed Blanket from Citizenry; on sale for $169. Pictured is the turmeric color. Above: Margot is dreaming about the “sprightly green Cloche Pendant. I pinned it from this Remodelista post on Palefire,” she says. It starts at £450. Above: Julie is considering the modern “handmade and flame-worked” Kokeshi Vino by Ichendorf; $26 at LoQ. Above: Gardenista contributor Kendra Wilson would love this Enamel Colander from Utilitario Mexicano for “garden gathering in a few months”; $55. Above: “I have my eye on some simple, chunky outdoor furniture,” shares Nell.” The Crate Collection was originally designed by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld in 1934 using excess wood from transportation crates.” It’s now been reissued in a Rietveld Originals x Hay collaboration. The Crate Lounge Chair is $445. Above: “I’ve had these hand-painted platters on my wish list to add some much needed color to the apartment,” says Annie. This Japanese Handmade Rough Pottery Irregular Plate is $29 at Euna Living.
Above: “I also love this print of an illustrated letter by the Italian architect, Gio Ponti, which is very Spring-like,” says Nell. “It’s by Mount Collective, a new company in the UK selling archival prints in handmade, hand-painted, sustainably sourced picture frames.” The No. 2 Gio Ponti Print is $330. Above: A fan of beautiful utilitarian objects, Justine will be updating her sinkside setup with a Japanese Hirali Kitchen Towel. It’s from Morihata. Above: Another recommendation from Margot: a Finnish Rattan Coat Hanger. “Who knew hangers could be spring-y?” It’s £12 from Objects of Use.
