Don’t be fooled by the weather’s mixed signals. Spring has officially arrived, bringing with it a refreshing wave of new season finds to brighten our homes. Whether you’re after a simple kitchen update or planning a garden refresh, the high street is full of inspiration right now.

Interiors editor Lizzie Hayman has selected her favourite picks, helping you welcome the season in style.

Aesthetically pleasing picnic…

How gorgeous are these melamine plates? They come in a variety of pretty pastel shades, and you can get everything from plates to platters! 

Four vintage-style dishes, perfect for embracing spring trends, are arranged together. The largest is an oval platter in light blue with blue flowers and red stripes, accompanied by two white plates with small flowers and a green bowl featuring pink blooms.

A scalloped, pastel pink plate with colorful floral patterns—a nod to Spring trends—sits on a white tiled table decorated with painted green and blue shapes. Two pens rest nearby as sunlight casts soft shadows across this high street-inspired scene.

Feeling fruity?

These joyous pieces from Oliver Bonas are real crowd pleasers, full of colour and charm! I can’t choose between the plant holder or the diffuser… so it’ll have to be both.

A ceramic vase shaped like a serene face with closed eyes, red lips, painted blue mustache, and orange blush. Sculpted orange slices and a peach add a playful nod to Spring trends—a striking piece perfect for adding high street style to any space.
A white ceramic diffuser shaped like a stylized human head with colorful fruit on top and black diffuser sticks, featuring bold red lips and blue eyebrows—a playful piece perfect for adding high street flair and embracing spring trends. Plain white background.

When life gives you lemons… or grapes

These candle holders are just super cute, a spring table staple.

Five-star cuppa…

Two porcelain teacups and saucers with vertical pastel blue and white stripes, plus a matching plate with radiating stripes, echo this season

I had to do a double-take when I came across these beautiful cups and saucers. Was I in M&S or Claridge’s? Then I clocked the price tag. These are a designer double you need in your life!

Pretty practical…

Dunelm is home to multiple designs of these occasional tables, and I love them all. But this pretty design is spring in furniture form.

A round ceramic side table, inspired by spring trends, features a wildflower pattern on a white background. Topped with a green mug and book, it pairs perfectly with a high street striped armchair and floral accents for a fresh vibe.

Wind the bobbin up…

Interior trends are quite literally bobbin’ at the moment, and George is hot on its heels with a designer look at a great price. Beautiful, and an absolute bargain.

George Home White Bobbin Table Lamp

A small table lamp with a round, white, beaded base and a pleated lampshade in pastel green and white stripes channels high street style and spring trends, resting on a smooth surface against a beige background. A white power cord extends from the base.

Pastel haze

A light mint green electric kettle with a white handle and silver accents, capturing fresh Spring trends. The brand name "SALTER" is printed near the bottom, with a power switch and water level indicator on the side—a stylish high street essential.

Nothing sums up spring like pastel shades, and this pretty mint coloured retro kettle is… dreamy.

Patchwork whimsical…

Not quite ready for the spring duvet, but too hot for the winter one? This showstopper patchwork quilt will not only elevate your bed or sofa, but it’ll also keep you cosy on chilly nights.

A neatly made bed with two white pillows and a white sheet, topped with a pastel quilt featuring large geometric triangles in pink, green, yellow, and white—embracing spring trends inspired by high street style—plus small embroidered flowers.

Garden SOS…

If, like me, you’re starting to uncover and dust off your garden furniture, you may be thinking it’s seen better days! Instead of spending a small fortune on new, spruce it up with a pop of colour. I love these terry stripe cushions.

Bedding in…

A cozy bedroom with a blue wooden bed frame, white bedding patterned with small blue flowers—perfect for embracing spring trends—several pillows, a fringed rug, beige paneled walls, a round nightstand with flowers, and a window letting in natural light.

There’s nothing quite like fresh new bedding! TK Maxx is my go-to for designer bedding (amongst everything else) at a fraction of the cost!

Double Cream & Blue Ribbon Bow Duvet Set

A pair of elegant high-heeled shoes with pointed toes, covered in shiny red fabric and intricate multicolored floral and paisley patterns, sits on a dark wooden floor—perfect for embracing your style through menopause with natural management.
