It’s time to welcome the warm weather home in a big way with bright new decor in a bold sorbet palette.

After months of hibernation, hiding from snowstorms, grey skies and face-numbing winds, it's time to bask in all that winter was not. Celebrate the rising temperatures and longer days outside by bringing a bright, bold look inside — which is exactly what this season's decor trends are calling for. Forego the pretty pastels and turn up the volume in your home with some fresh sorbet hues. Think of the beautifully bright and whimsical colours of citrus and florals, and get inspired! We’ll show you just how easy it is to inject some colour into any space because, whether you go big or go small, you will certainly love your home this season.

Liven up the formality of a dining room with a fun pop of colour, like these deep lemon dining chairs. Paired with the green and teal accents, it gives this otherwise stark white space plenty of personality. Try Structube's Bunny Bentwood Chairs ($29 each). 

2. Citrus throw pillows

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to refresh your home is by changing your throw pillows. It’s a great way to experiment with colours and patterns, and you may not even realize what an instant impact it can have. Hesitant about bold colours? Try cushion covers with a fun colour on one side and a neutral on the other to help ease you into those brighter hues. On a budget? H&M Home offers an array of sorbet colours in subtle patterns that are sure to freshen up your space. Cushion Covers, H&M Home, starting at $6.99.

3. Berry-Coloured Artwork

Another simple way to inject colour into your space is with art. Again, it’s an easy accessory you can swap in and out to change up your decor from season to season. If you’re a lover of abstracts and beautifully intense colourways, check out Maggi McDonald's work, particularly her Garden of Enid Print Trio ($129). She creates dreamy pieces using a rainbow of berry hues, with something at every price point.

If you’re going to make a more permanent update to your decor, it should be as stunning as this designer wallpaper. As if created straight from a sorbet dream, this vinyl wallcovering beautifully blends various citrus hues into an ombre effect that is nothing short of dazzling.

There’s no denying the impact that a fresh coat of paint can have in a room — especially when it’s a little less expected. Take a cue from this charming home channeling a bold ‘50s flair and simply paint the kitchen cabinet doors for an affordable and eye-catching update.

 

6. Orange furnishings

Add a jolt of life into any room with bright orange furnishings. The colour is further amplified with a graphic print, making it the perfect whimsical addition to any kid’s room. For a sophisticated splash of orange, go for Article's traditional Chester sofa in the soda pop hue. With a corner blocked wooden frame and a tufted back in cotton velvet upholstery, this persimmon orange piece will make a statement in any space.
