Which Colors Work Best for Spring Decor?
On my walks outside, I see magnificent colors in the Spring flowers and trees coming to life after their winter's rest. I appreciate their renewal and they inspire me every year. So, if you are asking which colors work best for Spring, allow me to share some of the great color palettes for their sense of newness in 2024.
Predicting specific interior design color for any year is speculative at best and not science, as it depends on many factors, such as cultural shifts, technological advancements, and societal preferences. It is often about native color, light, and location, and I certainly have colors that resonate with me, as do my clients. Shall we call the search for color this year “March Madness?” Selecting a spring color palette does not have to be maddening; just compatible.
I will suggest some potential color palettes that align with the general direction of interior design trends for spring 2024.
NATURE-INSPIRED HUES
Soft greens are reminiscent of new foliage and growth. I love Spring greens. They are so invigorating and refreshing.
Earthy browns and terracottas reflect natural elements like soil and clay
Pale blues represent the calming effect of the water and sky.

PASTEL SHADES
Soft pastel pinks, blues, and yellows for a fresh and airy feel.
Lavender and lilac tones to add a touch of femininity and sophistication. If you are worried lavender will feel to feminine, then pair it with deep chocolates or black to give this color a rich sophistication.
Mint green and peach for a subtle yet uplifting ambiance.
