Find Inspiration in This Year’s Color Trends
Needless to say, colors affect our emotions. Bright and strong. Warm and fuzzy. Happy and embracing. The color chart master Pantone® has unveiled a dynamic color duo: a timeless, dependable and unwavering shade of gray (Ultimate Gray, 17–5104) and a bright, cheerful sun-saturated yellow hue (Illuminating, 13–0647). Together, these two colors offer many combinations and can be incorporated into any room.
Elegant and neutral, this modern shade is very trendy. The advantage of gray is that it can be incorporated into a range of colors including canary yellow. This combination will make your decor sophisticated and harmonious while adding a touch of excitement!
This citrusy color is perfectly suited to a burst of creativity, a hue that evokes smiling emoji and cheerfulness. Whether in accent pieces, chairs or a bench at the foot of the bed, yellow furniture will bring light into your home.
For the table, choose bright yellow chairs, get out the silverware and add pretty flowers with colors conveying the color of the sun. In the kitchen, choose a sunflower-colored island to brighten up the room. Elsewhere, embellish your home with decorative accessories: pillows, throws, curtains, rugs, pictures, wall hangings and more. Here, there, or for a total look, get inspired and create a dynamic decor. Combine the sure thing of gray with the vividness of yellow. And just have fun!

Add a Shot of Caffeine to Your Energetic Decor
Whether enjoyed in your home or in your backyard, early in the morning, during an afternoon break or even in the evening with a drop of alcohol, the irresistible taste and aroma of good coffee help energize body and mind. This spring, create the perfect coffee oasis to give this beloved beverage a prominent place in your decor.
Nestled in a cabinet, in a large sideboard with doors or drawers for cup storage, or simply placed on an island that transforms to suit the occasion, you can be the barista at your beautiful coffee station.
And as an Added Bonus…
In addition to enriching your daily life, coffee grounds add minerals to garden soil. They also repel slugs and snails in the vegetable garden.
Decorate with Flowers
Just as they enhance our gardens in the spring, flowers are beautiful as decorative accessories. The bright petals of narcissus, magnolia, hyacinth or tulip will add beauty to your home. As a centerpiece, on a console table in the foyer, and even as a front-door wreath, flowers can be incorporated anywhere.
Our article “Tulips: perfect table decoration” gives steps and tips to make beautiful floral arrangements. In a square or rectangular vase, with bulbs intact or cut short, tulips come in a wide variety of species and thousands of different shades and shapes. So many options… Have fun creating arrangements that will invigorate your home with springtime notes reminiscent of endless fields of colorful tulips.
