As the days get longer and warmer, a few changes can make your living room feel fresh, bright and relaxed.

Shop the pieces in this guide

Swap heavy textiles for light ones

Replace velvet and wool cushions with linen and cotton, and pack away chunky throws. Light curtains let in more sun.

Bring in natural timber

Natural timber coffee and side tables lighten a room instantly compared with dark finishes.

Add fresh greenery

Large leafy plants and fresh flowers are the quickest way to make a room feel alive.

Consider a lighter sofa

If your sofa is due for replacement, a beige or oatmeal fabric chaise or corner lounge transforms the feel of the room. Our coastal and Hamptons guide has more light, breezy ideas.

Rearrange for the season

Turn seating towards windows or the outdoor area to make the most of the view and the breeze.

Common questions

How do I refresh my living room for spring?

Swap heavy textiles for linen and cotton, add natural timber and plants, and rearrange seating towards the light.

What sofa colour feels light and fresh?

Beige, oatmeal and warm white fabrics make a living room feel bright and airy.

Is it worth replacing furniture for a seasonal refresh?

Not always. Textiles, plants and layout do a lot, but if your sofa is worn, a lighter new one makes the biggest difference.
