Ethical decor
Ethical decor, upcycling, and DIY are increasingly popular and are taking center stage in our homes. These days, we can no longer consume blindly. We want to limit overconsumption by focusing on upcycling , which gives old objects a new life at a lower cost, thus avoiding waste.

Whether you have a knack for crafting or choose to buy eco-friendly items from local shops, every little bit helps the planet. Remember that the most striking creations aren't necessarily the most expensive. Sometimes, all it takes is a little imagination and creativity for a truly exquisite result! And if you're looking for current inspiration, we highly recommend checking out the page of one of our collaborators , @thefarmhousedream .
The return of darker wood
While there has been a trend towards lighter wood essences for some time, darker woods are making an unexpected comeback this spring. There is a growing demand, in particular, for black walnut, a wood species that had practically disappeared from our homes in recent years.
With its rich, deep tones, black walnut is the perfect wood for your solid wood kitchen table . The same goes for oak, a noble material that will add character to the room with dark stains. Have fun creating a tone-on-tone effect or a contrasting one with your wood floor. Many possibilities await you when it comes to choosing a wood for your dining table !
The greenery that makes you more zen
It's a well-known fact: plants have the incredible power to make us happier. But that's not all! Studies have shown that in addition to reducing stress and anxiety levels, greenery can also improve memory and attention span by 20% (according to the University of Michigan ). Fantastic, isn't it?
Perennial plants are very trendy this spring and easy to care for. You can also opt for climbing plants or cacti. Not to mention that the Greenwall , the plant trend that marked the early 2000s, is making a comeback. The hashtag #greenwall has nearly 80 million views on TikTok !
Mix & Match, yes!
Because mixing colors, textures, and styles continues to grow in popularity, we love the Mix & Match spring decor trend. Present in both fashion and interior design, it relies on the skillful combination of disparate pieces to create a truly unique whole.
Dare to mix seating of different colors or textures around your dining table, such as a solid wood bench with black industrial chairs or velvet-effect chairs. Or, add accessories with bold colors and prints . The idea: to boldly express your style and personality through your decor.
The color of the year: Viva Magenta
It's impossible to ignore Pantone's Color of the Year 2023 : Viva Magenta! This warm crimson shade from the red family offers a hybrid balance between natural and digital influences. All over the world, this joyful, optimistic, and decidedly energetic hue is being embraced.
While the most daring make it the star color of the room, others prefer a more subtle use in an armchair, a stylish rug, or decorative accessories. The contrast between Viva Magenta and darker shades like purple can also add a touch of luxury to your space. One thing is certain: this unconventional hue is sure to keep people talking!
