Spring is here!!

Spring has officially arrived and the Homebuyers WA Tyla Display Home is blooming with fresh ideas to welcome the new season. Whether you’re planning your next home build or just looking for some inspiration, this home is full of clever ways to refresh your space.


A Fresh, Inviting Exterior

The Tyla’s soft green cladded façade feels perfectly at home in spring — and for those curious, the colour is Wattyl Westerly. Pair this calming shade with tidy garden beds and lush new growth to really boost your curb appeal. In Perth, late winter to early spring is the ideal time to prune, so now’s the moment to give your garden some extra TLC. Don’t forget to mulch (to lock in moisture) and give your exterior a quick brush-down every couple of months to keep the paintwork and cladding looking fresh.


Artwork That Brings Joy

Many of the artwork pieces I selected for the Tyla display have a summery vibe- think palm trees, summer fruits and sunshine tones of soft yellow, pinks and sage. This works beautifully because spring hints at the summer season yet to come, keeping the look relevant for most of the year in Perth’s warm climate. Looking to make a statement? A gallery wall is an easy way to turn a plain surface into a show-stopper that instantly adds personality and depth. Keeping larger furniture neutral also makes it easy to swap out art or accent colours seasonally for an effortless, affordable refresh.


Accessorise With Colour

Once you’ve chosen your art, pull its colours into your styling. A few inexpensive décor items like cushions, vases, or throws can create a curated look and can be swapped out whenever you feel like a change. It’s the simplest way to bring spring indoors without a total overhaul. Shapes also matter: have fun with objects of interest like marble links, sculptural vases or playful 3D forms to echo the curves and colours in your artwork. Don’t rule out budget-friendly stores either- I found the above Openook Scalloped Wing Ceramic Vases at BIG W for just $10-$13, and they fit the aesthetic of this home perfectly!


Dining Space: Fresh, Soft & Inviting

With the sunlight streaming through the sheer curtains diffusing the light, the dining space feels fresh and welcoming. The sage IKEA KARLPETTER chairs echo the home’s soft green accents and pair perfectly with natural timber. At just $89 each, they’re an affordable way to introduce colour and style, and their upholstery is low-maintenance too- just spot clean as needed. A pared-back centrepiece, like a single statement vase of seasonal blooms, lets the furniture shine without feeling crowded.


Guest Bedroom: Mix, Match & Play

In the guest bedroom, a bold stripe quilt cover pairs with a fun floral cushion. This playful mix-and-match approach is perfect for spring and you can recreate the look by blending patterns with a common colour to create a vibrant, welcoming space for your guests. A nice sunlit bench seat provides the perfect spot to read, pop your shoes on or simply enjoy a quiet moment. Feature paint is another affordable way to add interest and create flow with the rest of the home- here I’ve used Wattyl Sea Mineral on two main walls to link back to the home’s soft green palette.


Florals Inside & Out

Bring the garden indoors with fresh or faux blooms. Even a single statement vase filled with greenery from your yard can add a seasonal boost and sense of calm to your home. If you’re wanting something longer lasting, the artificial hydrangeas in the master bedroom emphasise softness all year round and remove the worry of replacing stems weekly. Stylist tip: use florals or foliage that contrast against the setting you’re placing them in. For example whites and creams work well against darker walls (like above,) whereas green foliage and colourful bouquets stand out better against a white wall.


A Dreamy Girls’ Room

The girls’ bedroom feels like stepping into a soft spring morning! The watercolour floral wallpaper sets a delicate backdrop, while the blush arch headboard adds a playful, contemporary touch- tying in the rainbow artwork and scallop shelves beautifully. Pastel-toned bedding layers gentle colour and texture that creates a calm (yet cheerful) retreat. The darker teal floral sheets provide a striking contrast, grounding the softer hues and adding a touch of maturity to the overall look.


Outdoor Living Made Easy

As the days get sunnier, the alfresco area gets used more often- either by yourself or when entertaining with friends and family. If you’re tight on space, a high bar table with stools that tuck neatly underneath is a smart way to make the most of a compact area. It’s a casual but intimate setting for a small group of friends to spend the day or evening catching up. Thinking more chill/zen vibes? Two occasional chairs can create a cosy place to begin the morning or end the day- think a beverage and book of choice, sunshine, fresh air and birds chirping.


Spring styling doesn’t have to be a big renovation- it can easily be a few thoughtful updates like vibrant artwork, patterned textiles, fresh florals, and tidy outdoor spaces that completely transform the feel of your home. The Tyla Display Home shows how simple changes can bring seasonal energy and warmth to every corner.

Interior trend insight

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a trend forecasting event where industry experts shared their insights on the latest design trends emerging from this year’s European trade fair. One standout presentation focused on colour directions for the upcoming year, leaving me feeling inspired and ready to source products for upcoming projects.

Two of the trends can already be seen styled in my recent projects the Nalu and the Eclipse Homebuyers Centre display homes which is great because I can provide examples alongside the info and key take outs that I share below.

Nalu

The Euro Summer vibe is set to flourish, embodying a relaxed coastal style that invites creativity. The palette features all the classic coastal colours (pale blues, whites, subdued greens and beiges) while introducing warmer hues like terracotta, peach, blush, and soft yellows. This mix creates a unique and cheerful vacation-inspired aesthetic- perfect for summer entertaining!

In Australia, you can easily find art and decor that embodies this Euro Summer style at various retail stores. Some are linked below and for those seeking additional inspiration, head to the Nalu display home located at 16 Selacosa Avenue, Alkimos WA. It’s a fantastic place to see these trends in action!

Eclipse

If you’re drawn to stronger, moodier settings, you’ll be excited to see how bold blues and rich spice tones are making a significant impact in the design world. While caramel, rust, and terracotta continue to hold their ground, they’re now being styled alongside bright hues like blue. Interestingly, these colours are opposites on the colour wheel, which allows them to complement each other beautifully.

You might have already seen that cobalt and vibrant blues are making waves in fashion, suggesting that furniture and decor will soon follow suit. Brands like LM Home, RJ Living, Myer, David Jones and Target are already offering fun, patterned decor pieces that perfectly align with these emerging trends.

In my recent project at the Eclipse display home, I experimented with these accent colours by starting with a monochrome base and layering in vibrant pops throughout each room. This thoughtful balance of warm and cool tones creates a harmonious atmosphere, allowing each colour to shine while maintaining a cohesive design.

A great way to link different elements of your space is through artwork! I used the striking trio of “Nightflower” artworks by Corinne Melanie as a focal point, seamlessly tying together both blue and rust tones throughout the living, dining, and kitchen areas. This approach not only enhances the visual appeal of the space but also provides a narrative that connects all the design elements and rooms within the home.

You can shop some of the key pieces I have used in the Eclipse display home above and view them in person at 10 Featherflower Entrance, Piara Waters.

Looking ahead, I can’t wait to see how these colour trends evolve and influence future interiors. I love observing how current styles change over time, and I’m particularly excited to see where the ‘coastal’ aesthetic is headed. I think it will allow us all to introduce more personality and flare to our homes, making them look and feel uniquely our own. Which trend do you like most?
