Spring in Winnipeg is a breath of fresh air - literally. After months of winter, we’re all ready to shake off the cold and bring some renewal indoors. This is the perfect time to refresh your home and embrace new trends I do my best to keep up with design trends, scrolling social media, and visiting homes, and I’ve noticed a few staples that are popping up this season. If you’re thinking of sprucing up your space, here are six spring home trends that will bring a fresh look into your space.
1. Scalloped Edges: A Playful, Classic Touch
Scalloped edges have been trending for a while, but this season, they’re everywhere—especially in decor that leans towards classic, vintage, or grandmillennial aesthetics. These soft, wavy edges bring a playful and elegant touch to furniture and accessories.
How to try it:
Scalloped-edge throw pillows for a cozy touch
Picture frames or mirrors with soft curves
A side table or accent chair with a delicate scalloped design
This trend is an easy way to add a bit of whimsy and charm to any space.
2. Pops of Red: A Bold & Unexpected Accent
If you’ve seen the “unexpected red theory” making the rounds on social media, you know that a dash of red can instantly elevate a space. This year, cherry red is one of the top trending colors, bringing energy and warmth to otherwise neutral spaces.
How to try it:
A red vase or lamp for a striking focal point
Cherry red throw pillows or artwork
A small rug with red accents to anchor a space
Red pairs surprisingly well with many color palettes, making it an easy addition that doesn’t require a full redesign.
3. Tone-on-Tone Stripes: A Fresh Take on a Classic Pattern
Stripes never go out of style, but this season, bold tone-on-tone color pairings are making them feel fresh and modern. Instead of the usual high-contrast stripes, these use subtle shifts in shade to create depth and movement.
How to try it:
Striped table linens for a lively dining space
A throw blanket with soft tonal stripes
Even striped furniture upholstery for a bigger statement
This trend blends well with both minimalist and maximalist styles, depending on how bold you go.
4. Spindle Furniture: A Vintage Revival
For years, mid-century modern dominated furniture design, but we’re now seeing a return to more traditional shapes—especially spindle furniture. With its turned wood details and antique-inspired silhouette, spindle furniture is perfect for adding timeless character to a space.
How to try it:
A spindle-leg chair or bench in an entryway
A classic spindle nightstand for a cozy, vintage feel
Accent tables or bed frames with this historic design
It’s a look that feels both refined and relaxed, perfect for anyone wanting a balance of old and new in their home.
5. Hand-Drawn Sketch Art: Effortless & Understated
Heavy, moody artwork had its moment, but this spring, light, hand-drawn sketch art is having its turn. These pieces feel simple, organic, and slightly imperfect, adding an unpolished yet elegant touch to a space.
How to try it:
Swap out framed prints for sketched portraits or nature-inspired pieces
Look for charcoal or pencil-drawn artwork with a soft, airy feel
Layer framed sketches on bookshelves for a subtle decor update
This trend is low-commitment and easy to mix into your existing decor—just swap out a frame, and you’re set.
6. Miniature Table Lamps: Small But Mighty Mood Lighting
Sometimes, small details make the biggest impact, and tiny table lamps are proof of that. These petite, charming lamps are popping up everywhere, offering warm, cozy lighting in unexpected spots.
How to try it:
A cordless mini lamp on your kitchen counter for soft evening light
A tiny lamp on a bookshelf to create a moody glow
A small bedside lamp for a relaxed, layered lighting effect
Mini lamps are a quick and affordable way to make a room feel more inviting and polished without a major design overhaul.
