Warmer weather is here at last and a lot of us are starting to think about having a home decor overhaul.
Before you whip out the paint and overalls however, changing your look seasonally using themed accessories is a killer cheat to make a room feel fresh without the hassle of major projects.
Pro interior designers use a neutral base for walls and furniture, then choose accessories in different themes and colors. The key to getting a look that lasts is to choose classic styles rather than being a slave to trends.

With that in mind, here are 6 classic color palettes to refine your spring and summer decor choices.
- Spring greens
If you get the urge to deep clean your house every spring, then maybe a look consisting of fresh greens and vibrant yellows is for you. - Nautical
A nautical look instantly makes you think of summer fun out on the water! It contrasts strong blues with whites and creams and it will never go out of style, making it a great choice. - Turquoise beach
If you’re a dedicated sun-seeker then take it a step further with beachy hues of turquoise and sand. You can really go to town with themed accessories, like natural jute fabrics and pretty seashells. - Miami mint
We love the Art Deco architecture of Miami. It’s a bold statement that stands the test of time and looks timelessly modern. Although in the home it’s not for the faint-hearted, it’s a brilliant choice for those who want to push the envelope a bit more and aren’t afraid to add some funky styling choices. - Burnt orange
If you’re looking for a way to transition your decor into Fall then yellows and burnt oranges are an ideal option. They instantly make a room feel brighter, but will also fade into autumn colors nicely towards the end of the season so they’re ultra-versatile too. - Orchard
Crisp green apples are another look that can go all the way from Spring to Fall, and you can soften it with the addition of some gentle touches of dusty pink.
Decorating with seasonally themed accessories is the easiest way to refresh any room and if you stick to one of these classic color palettes then you simply can’t go wrong. From the classic nautical and beachy looks to more adventurous mint and pink, choose one that suits your style and go with it. The hardest part will be choosing which one.
