"Creating a stylish and comfortable home doesn't have to be expensive," says Justine Wilson, founder of Vault Interiors. "By incorporating these trends with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can transform your home into a spring haven without overspending."

1. Natural Elements and Earthy Tones: This spring, bring the outside in with natural materials and earthy colour palettes. Think terracotta, soft greens, and rich browns combined with organic textures like rattan, jute, and wood.

Budget Tips:

• DIY Decor: Create your own décor using natural materials. Try making a rattan mirror or a wooden coffee table.
• Thrift Finds: Visit second-hand stores for affordable rattan furniture and wooden accents.
• Plants: Add greenery with affordable houseplants from local nurseries or plant swaps.

2. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Design: Sustainable living continues to be a priority. Incorporate eco-friendly materials and furniture made from recycled or upcycled items.

Budget Tips:

• Upcycling: Transform old furniture with a fresh coat of eco-friendly paint or new upholstery.
• Second-Hand Shopping: Look for gently used furniture and accessories at thrift stores, online marketplaces, or community sales.
• Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Invest in energy-saving light bulbs and eco-friendly cleaning products.

3. Maximalist Patterns and Bold Colours: Maximalism is making a comeback. Embrace bold patterns, vibrant colours, and eclectic décor to create a lively and personalised space.

Budget Tips:

• Statement Pieces: Focus on a few key items like a bold rug or colourful cushions to transform a room without overhauling everything.
• DIY Art: Create your own wall art using bold colours and patterns. There are plenty of online tutorials to guide you.
• Affordable Fabrics: Use budget-friendly fabrics to make cushion covers or throws.

4. Vintage and Retro Revival: Nostalgic styles from the 70s and 80s are making a resurgence. Look for retro furniture, vintage accessories, and nostalgic colour palettes.

Budget Tips:

• Flea Markets: Scour flea markets and garage sales for unique vintage finds.
• Mix and Match: Combine vintage pieces with modern items for a balanced look.
• Repurpose: Repurpose old furniture with a vintage flair, like turning an old suitcase into a side table.

5. Outdoor Living Spaces: Enhance your outdoor spaces to create additional living areas. Focus on comfort and style with outdoor furniture, lighting, and greenery.

Budget Tips:

• Pallet Furniture: Build your own outdoor furniture using wooden pallets. There are many DIY guides available online.
