Spring Décor Ideas for Wooden Blinds

Welcome the fresh beauty of Spring into your home with decor ideas that highlight the natural charm of your wooden blinds. From airy, light-filtering designs to fresh accents and accessories, there are plenty of ways to style your home this season. Think about incorporating pastel hues, floral arrangements, and seasonal textures for a refreshed finish that complements your wooden blinds.

Incorporate Soft Furnishings in Spring & Summer Colourways

 

Soft furnishings like cushions, throws, and rugs play a crucial role in setting the seasonal tone in your home. When styling them with your wooden blinds, consider choosing fabrics in spring and summer-inspired colour palettes. Here are some ideas based on the type of wooden blinds you have in your windows.

 

White wooden blinds

White wooden blinds pair beautifully with pastels like blush pink, mint green, or sky blue for a fresh and delicate spring aesthetic.

Grey wooden blinds

If you’re looking for soft furnishings that complement grey wooden blinds, consider opting for soft lilac, sage green, or light coral to add a touch of warmth and vibrancy to your space.

Black wooden blinds

Black wooden blinds are an increasingly popular choice and can create plenty of contrast in your home. Pair them with bold tropical hues such as teal, mustard yellow, or burnt orange for a striking, summery look.

Oak wooden blinds

The natural finish oak wood blinds work beautifully with earthy tones like terracotta, soft beige, and leafy greens to create a warm and organic atmosphere.

Layer Curtains in Seasonal Patterns & Colours

 

Layering your wooden blinds with curtains adds depth and texture to your space and can provide the perfect finishing touch. For spring, consider lightweight fabrics featuring floral or botanical prints that reflect the changing season outdoors. We’ve listed some of our favourite options below:

 

Floral Patterns

Let your home reflect the beauty of the outdoors this season and incorporate floral patterns in soft pinks, lavenders, or yellows to bring a cheerful spring vibe. Our floral curtains work beautifully against white, brown, and oak wooden blinds to add some extra interest.

Spring Tones

Keep things fresh and airy in your space when you opt for curtains in light filtering whites or pastels. Working well with white and grey wooden blinds, Spring tones like green and pink add a subtle pop of colour to your space and reflect the fresh blooms appearing outdoors.

Coastal Styles

Take inspiration from tropical destinations or coastal beaches and opt for curtains in fresh ocean blues or corals for a fresh summer feel. We love the addition of striped or leafy style prints for those looking for a coastal finish. This style works particularly well against light oak and bright white wooden blinds.

By pairing your blinds with complementary curtains, you’ll not only freshen up your space for Spring but give yourself some additional privacy too. Our made to measure curtains also come with a selection of lining options allowing you to block out the sun on those early Spring or Summer mornings when you’re in need of a longer lie.

Bring Nature Inside with Plants & Greenery

 

One of the biggest home décor trends in recent years is Biophilic design, which focuses on integrating natural elements into your living space. Wooden blinds already introduce an organic texture but pairing them with greenery can enhance this effect.

 

Potted Plants

Incorporating potted plants like peace lilies, ferns, or pothos brings a lush, natural aesthetic that softens the look of darker wooden blinds.

Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers in seasonal hues—such as tulips, daffodils, or sunflowers—can add a vibrant pop of colour to your space.

Planters

Introducing planters near your window can add a pop of colour as vibrant green vines stand out against your wooden blinds. These work particularly well against oak tones for an organic feel, or white wooden blinds for a fresh finish.

Kitchen Greenery

If you’re looking for a greenery option for your kitchen, there’s no better choice than herb gardens. These small herb boxes add charm to your windowsill, complementing your wooden blinds. What’s more, they also give you the chance to change up your recipes with some fresh herbs.

When it comes to greenery, you can’t really go wrong but it’s still important to be mindful of your colour scheme and style of wooden blinds. For dark oak or black wooden blinds, contrast the deep tones with bright green foliage to create a rich, inviting look. For white or light grey blinds, any shade of greenery will stand out beautifully, enhancing the fresh feel of your space.

Styling wooden blinds for spring and summer is all about embracing light, colour, and nature. Whether you’re upgrading your space with soft furnishings, layering with seasonal curtains, or incorporating Biophilic design elements, your wooden blinds can seamlessly transition into the warmer months with ease. By using these styling tips, your home will feel fresh, inviting, and perfectly in tune with the beauty of the season.
