Bring on the bright colours, bold graphic designs and dreamy pastels!When it comes to decor, I’m seeking spring vibes only right now. That means dressing up my interiors with cheerful colours, graphic patterns and florals that pop. IKEA’s seasonal update, with an Easter-inspired hook, is giving budget-friendly refresh.
Here are a handful of my shop-worthy favourites.

These painted glass egg ornaments jazz up floral centerpieces without having to bedazzle the vase. For those who might be worried about little hands turning them into a pile of shattered glass, there’s a papier mache option, too.

Set the Easter brunch table in style with this colourful quartet. These pretty pastel bowls, with a petal-inspired design, are tougher than they look. Made from hearty porcelain, they’re dishwasher-safe, too.

Handpainted, brightly coloured and showing off a bold graphic design—this vase ticks all the boxes. With or without a floral arrangement, it provides the kind of interior pick-me-up that makes it feel as if you’ve spring cleaned.

Let those with unlimited floral budgets scoff, the savvy decorista understands the broad appeal of incorporating faux florals, too. Cheap and cheerful, these surprisingly realistic-looking stems are sure to dress up a bathroom, side table or sideboard—and there’s no watering required.

Bless the wow factor of the modest throw pillow, which can refresh a tired interior with the pull of a zip. These soft cushion covers come in a range of statement shades. Made from recycled polyester, they bring textural interest to the party, too.
