IT'S the moment for a restart, breathing new life into your space and reinventing furnishings by switching out wintry textiles for free-spirited decorative accessories and airy accents.

Indeed, now is the time to refresh your home for spring, highlights Alysha Alli, group interior designer at Redrow.

"This season is all about embracing new materials, bold designs and sustainable innovations," says Alysha.

"Whether you're looking to introduce eco-friendly elements, experiment with vibrant colours, or create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, these key trends will help you transform your space."

Here are her style notes to put you on the front foot...

Embracing alternative materials

Sustainability is shaping the future of home design, with a rise in untreated natural materials such as wood, cork, and bamboo, says Alysha.

"Zero-waste production is also gaining traction, as designers transform leftover materials into beautiful, eco-friendly furniture."

To bring this approach into your home, she says to opt for statement pieces that contrast beautifully with their surroundings. “Think a reclaimed wood table in a sleek modern space, or recycled metal light fixture adding edge to a cosy, rustic setting.”
