Say ‘hello’ to your spring home

Redecorate your home with this season’s latest trends by La Dolce Vita

KARACHI: Spring is upon us and that means it’s time we make a fresh start and spruce up our home with some brightness and colour. With many design inspirations trending this season, we have the whole spring scene covered, which is bound to give your house a brand new feel and kick the spring spell up a notch.

We start off the season with perhaps the most important trend —  floral. There’s just something about a flower print that uplifts us in this season. It’s feminine and impactful yet leaves a subtle feel. Be it a rug, a table runner or even the focal point that is the sofa, choose floral and let the energy in. As they say, ‘Bloom where you are planted’.



Another monumental thought to keep in mind this season or, maybe, even this whole year is the triple ‘S’ rule: simplistic, soft and sober. This, as the name reveals, is all about keeping it simple; subtle colours, such as beige, peach, white, even light yellow and faded blue are among the best options. Peach is high on the list because it’s fresh, light and chic. When designing your home or even one room, minimal design will go a long way. Remember, less is always more.

Bringing our focus on the more daring and edgy design-lovers, avant-garde is back again. This abstract fashion has returned to make our spring and summer worthwhile. From tribal designs to quirky thread work to even a simple splash of neon, avant-garde is your best friend this season. It’s bright, lively and made for spring. Indulge in colours and there’s no holding back when it comes to red, yellow, orange, blue and all the other vibrant shades. The concept of an avant-garde-inspired seating space can be very rewarding.

With the need for vibrancy, a room doesn’t look quite complete without the touch of elegance and colour that cushions bring. Just like last season, they’ll continue to trend, so it’s best that you invest well in terms of design and quality. To take this trend even farther, try edgy designs —  atypical cushions with maps, scientific phrases, literature and other unconventional artwork. This is the future of fashion and you can take that to the bank.



Spring is the season that highlights colour and energy and nothing sucks the energy out of a room like dark tones. A room focused on shades of grey or black can give the impression of an uninviting space. This, in no way, means that you should choose outrageous shades, but try to look at the brighter side of life this season. You have a whole palette to choose from, just keep your distance from shades, such as purple and green.

Despite the overwhelming feeling of redecorating a home, it’s a fulfilling experience. To be able to stand back and take in the view of a space that you’ve poured your heart and soul into is quite the treat. However, knowing the right place to start from is imperative when taking this up. Luckily, Dolce Vita Home makes life easy. With their luxury sleep range and immaculate furniture designs, not to mention their uber-comfortable and impeccable recliner range, let Dolce Vita Home make your spring inspiringly delightful.
