Interior design trends this Spring

The key to creating stylish interiors this Spring – Strongvox shares advice and trends from design experts

It really feels like spring has finally sprung as temperatures soared to 24ºC this week. Bliss! The clocks have gone forward, Easter is here and it’s traditionally the time of year when we turn our backs on winter and start thinking about refreshing our homes, with deep cleans and new projects to update room décor and styling.

Here at Strongvox, work continues apace at our exciting new development at Laurel Hill, Cribbs Causeway, on the northern edge of Bristol. We’ve had some amazing feedback on social media to The Devoran, our three-bed show home, located on Plot 20, so we thought we’d share with you the inspiration behind its stunning interior design and give you the inside track to what’s on trend this spring. Plus, top tips and styling secrets to create your own perfect homely space.

The Inspiration

Paul Garland, Senior Designer at Bristol-based Andrew Henry Interiors, is the visionary behind the design concept at The Devoran, which has created such a buzz. “By using a neutral base colour, with accents of chocolate and cinnamon spice, plus different wood finishes and textures to add depth throughout, we have crafted a calm and warming environment in which the modern family can live.”

Key Design Tip:

Start with a neutral base colour and change your accent colours throughout the year. Choose bold and bright colours for spring and summer, and opt for warmer tones for autumn and winter. Simply change cushions, throws and accessories.


Designing Bedroom Bliss

Paul’s favourite room in The Devoran show home is the master bedroom. “Painting all walls and the ceiling in a soft caramel tone brings warmth and cosiness to the room. The matching bedroom furniture with its natural cane webbing detail introduces a subtle tropical vibe.”

Key Design Tip:

Add a statement light fitting to bring an instant wow factor to any room.


A Sublime Living Space

The beautiful design scheme for the living room is still under wraps, as the Strongvox Sales Office is based in this area of the show home. We are very excited to reveal a preview of the presentation board, outlining the scheme for the living room and its design components. Paul has created a sophisticated blend of city styling combined with softer, natural textures to create a calm and sublime feel. We’re certainly looking forward to seeing the final result!

Key Design Tip:

Carefully arrange and group your chosen accessories together on furniture or shelving, rather than having multiple individual pieces spread across an entire surface area.


Spring Trends

Paint giants Dulux and colour experts at the Pantone Color Institute™ have both revealed their colours for 2021, based on a broad range of worldwide influences.

  • Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2021 is Brave Ground™, described as “a warm earthy tone, creating a feeling of stability, growth and potential; and provides a firm foundation for change and creativity in the home.” 
  • The Pantone Color of the Year 2021 is Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (a vibrant shade of yellow, in case you were wondering). Yes, two colours, but hey…who’s counting! According to Pantone, they are “two independent colours that highlight how different elements come together to support one another. A union of strength and positivity, encapsulating deeper feelings of thoughtfulness, with the promise of something sunny and friendly.” We agree! 

Key Design Tip:

A floor standing houseplant creates a calming focal point in a room and is also great for improving air quality.


What’s HOT and what’s NOT…

We asked Paul for his top five HOT interior design essentials for this spring and his top five definitely NOT this year, thank you… Time to move over!

HOT…

  • Real houseplants
  • Incorporated work from home space, whether inside the home or outside in a garden office
  • Natural fabrics and new eco-textiles made from recycled plastic
  • Statement vases
  • Bespoke joinery designed for specific spaces

NOT…

  • Rose gold
  • White kitchen units
  • Cluttered worktops and surfaces
  • Faux houseplants
  • Simple all-white walls throughout

Key Design Tip:

Change handles as a cost-effective way to instantly update and transform kitchen units and furniture.


We hope we’ve given you the inspiration and some ideas to help you create your own perfect home. We’d love you to share your own ideas and home makeovers with us too!

How does it work?

The Government lends you up to 20% of the cost of your newly built home, you’ll need a 5% cash deposit and a 75% mortgage to make up the rest.

Who is eligible?

For more information visit the Help to Buy website to download the Help to Buy Buyers’ Guide and to find out how to apply for an Equity Loan.

Eco Wise

The EcoWise standard incorporates smart technology and advanced features into our latest homes. These innovations significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions, helping homeowners save money while minimising environmental impact. We are committed to not just meeting but exceeding current build standards, striving to set the benchmark for smart, eco-friendly new homes across the South West.

Eco-friendly smart homes

We’ll help get your existing house valued

Our latest EcoWise homes are significantly more energy and water efficient than older properties, resulting in substantial monthly and annual savings. These savings are further enhanced by the availability of competitive ‘eco-favourable’ mortgages for energy-efficient new homes.

The EcoWise standard includes:

Air source heat pump or A-rated gas boiler for energy efficiency and reduced emissions. • Solar panels with optional battery storage for renewable, clean energy with savings on intelligent tariffs. • Enhanced insulation reducing heat loss, energy bills, and environmental impact. • High-spec windows and doors with double-glazed thermal frames, minimising heat loss, and boosting energy efficiency and security. • Low-energy LED lighting that lasts longer and reduces maintenance costs. • Electric vehicle charging points for convenience and eco-friendly home charging.
