Fresh Spring Color Palette's For Your Home!

Spring inspires us to begin anew with fresh bright colors found in the beauty of nature.

Coming from generations of avid gardeners, we have an immense appreciation and fond memories of the beauty of flower gardens. The best interior designers in the world can't top the magnificence of a flower garden, but we can learn from nature and pull from all it teaches you. Our grandparents, who were immigrants from Sweden and the Baltics, brought their heritage of gardening and farming to this country. It was a deep love of nature and we marveled at their talent to plant and grow lush and colorful landscapes, As a child, I remember thinking that this is true beauty, when we had family picnics on the lawn, surrounded by every flower and plant that they meticulously selected to grow in undulating patterns along the borders of the property. Lilacs, Hydrangea, Peonies, Cherry trees, Pansies, Forget-Me-Nots, Morning Glories, Holly Hock, Lilies of the Valley ( my grandmother's favorite). Even the trees felt like they were from a fairy tale. The weeping willows reached down their branches to touch the earth and moved to the wind. They danced to the rhythm of the day. The mimosas had bright fuchsia flowers. The tropical-looking tree grew beautifully in northern places like Long Island, but looked like something that grew on a tropical island. lt was spectacular. This was my first inclination to think of color and its relationship to nature. When I started staging and designing homes, my favorite thing to do was to pick branches, flowers and anything that was beautiful and growing on the property to create large arrangements on the dining table. I now draw from nature with all my color palettes and always include some fresh - picked arrangements. Let's explore some spring color Palettes.

What Makes a Great Accent Chair for a Beach House?

A well-chosen accent chair should feel comfortable, durable, and visually balanced within the space.

Look for:

• Soft, breathable fabrics like linen or cotton
• Durable construction for everyday use
• Neutral or coastal-inspired tones
• Shapes that feel relaxed rather than overly structured
  

The goal is a chair that looks beautiful but is also used daily.

Slipcovered Accent Chairs

Slipcovered chairs are one of the best choices for coastal homes because they are:

• Comfortable and relaxed
• Easy to maintain and clean
• Ideal for homes with kids, pets, and everyday use
  

Woven & Natural Material Chairs

Chairs made from rattan, wood, or woven materials add texture and depth.

• Adds natural, organic feel
• Works well in layered coastal spaces
• Pairs beautifully with neutral palettes

Upholstered Coastal Chairs

Upholstered chairs in soft fabrics provide:

• Additional comfort
• More structured seating
• A polished coastal look

How to Style Accent Chairs

Accent chairs should feel like part of the room — not an afterthought.

Pair with:

• Coastal rugs to ground the seating area
• Driftwood tables for natural texture
• Coastal lighting to add warmth and dimension

This combination creates a space that feels layered and complete.

How to Choose the Right Size

• Ensure the chair fits proportionally within the room
• Leave enough space for movement
• Pair with the right scale of sofa or sectional

One oversized chair often works better than multiple small pieces.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Choosing style over comfort
• Selecting materials that don’t hold up to daily use
• Going too small for the space
