Spring has arrived! Longer days, warmer weather, and that irresistible urge to freshen up your home. The heavy winter layers that kept you cosy can now be layered with lighter fabrics, softer colours, and stylish blinds that let natural light in.
Refreshing your home doesn’t require a full makeover. With a few seasonal updates from floaty sheers to floral accents and light filtering blinds, you can instantly create a space that feels fresh, bright, and ready for the season ahead.
Let Natural Light in with Sheers and Layer with Blockouts
When we think of spring, light is the first thing that comes to mind. Longer days, brighter rooms, and that warm sunshine streaming in. But sometimes, you still need control. That’s why pairing sheer curtains with blockout curtains on a double track is a smart choice for spring and summer.
Double tracks give you the best of both worlds:
- Sheer curtains soften daylight, filter UV rays, and create a breezy, welcoming atmosphere.
- Blockout curtains give you privacy, help control heat, and are essential for bedrooms, especially during daylight savings when the sun rises earlier and sets later.
This combination means you can enjoy natural light during the day while still being able to darken and insulate a room when needed. It’s particularly useful for living areas and bedrooms, where flexibility matters most.
Benefits of Blockouts in summer:
- Better sleep: Blockout curtains keep bedrooms darker for longer, helping everyone rest well even with lighter evenings and early mornings. This can be especially helpful for kids, making it easier to maintain consistent sleep routines, particularly when adjusting to daylight savings.
- Year-round comfort: Blockout fabrics provide thermal insulation, keeping interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter, so you’re prepared for every season.
- Stylish layering: The pairing of sheers and blockouts adds depth and sophistication to your windows, giving your home a designer finish.

Sheer curtains soften harsh daylight, creating a welcoming, breezy atmosphere that’s perfect for a spring home refresh. They’re ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where you want to maximise brightness while maintaining a sense of comfort. The lightweight fabric also allows air to circulate more freely, making your home feel cooler and fresher as the weather warms up.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, sheers are highly practical. They filter sunlight to reduce glare, minimise overheating, and provide a protective barrier against harmful UV rays. This added layer of protection helps prevent fading on furniture, flooring, and artwork - allowing you to enjoy natural light without compromising the longevity of your furnishings and finishes.
Shop our readymade sheers or, if you’re after a custom finish, explore our full range of sheer fabrics.

Add Colour and Life with Floral Patterns
Nothing says spring quite like floral prints. From floral curtains and cushions to soft styling accents, these designs bring the outdoors in and instantly uplifts your space.
If you’re not ready to commit to bold floral patterns, start small - a floral cushion cover or a single feature curtain can add just the right touch of vibrance without overwhelming your space. When paired with neutral tones, florals create a contemporary spring look that feels lively yet perfectly balanced.
