Spring Awakening: Fresh Colour 
Palettes for the New Season

As the world outside begins to bloom, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home. Spring brings with it a feeling of new beginnings—of lightness, clarity, and gentle reawakening. I love how your space should evolve with the seasons. Whether it’s a new coat of colour or a few thoughtful touches, spring is the season to breathe life back into your interiors.

 

This year, we’re embracing the trend of tonal layering—pairing slightly lighter or darker tones from the same colour family to add subtle depth, softness, and movement. Below you’ll find four spring colour palettes using Frenchic favourites, designed to help you reconnect with nature and bring that fresh spring energy indoors.

1. Soft Blossom Palette

Inspired by delicate petals, soft sunsets, and the romantic stillness of early spring. My Soft Blossom palette is perfect for bedrooms, guest rooms, or creating calm corners with a feminine, nostalgic touch. 

 

Wedding Cake - a creamy soft slight, off-white with warm undertones.

 

Dusky Blush - a warm, rose-tinted pink, that has a whisper of vintage about it.

 

Love Letter - a vintage pink with warm, gentle lavender undertones.

2. Garden Fresh Palette

Think dewy mornings, fresh herbs, and the peaceful rhythm of the garden. The greens in my Garden Fresh palette echo the tones of new growth and bring a natural calm indoors.

 

Whitey White – a clean bright, white that adds crisp contrast. 
 

Wise Old Sage – a muted, grounding green and an elegant neutral in any outdoor space. 
 

Apple of My Eye – a zesty green with a playful energy that’s clean and crisp and cheerful. 

3. Spring Sunshine Palette

Capturing the joy of sunshine on your skin and the golden hour glow. My Spring Sunshine palette brings warmth and brightness into any space - perfect for entryways or creative zones. 

 

Stone in Love - a subtle grey with a soft, grounding feel. A perfectly balanced taupe. 

 

Salt of the Earth - a mellow, sandy neutral that is supremely adaptable. 

 

Hot as Mustard - a bold, golden yellow full of optimism with a hint of zest.

Cool Beans – a soft greige that grounds the lightness with a calming, peaceful quality. 
 

Duckling – a pale duck-egg blue, that’s a subtle alternative to grey.
 

Anguilla – a serene, breezy blue with aqua tones and ocean vibes.

Top Tips to Bring the Freshness of Spring into Your Home

1. Swap Heavy for Light – trade thick throws and dark fabrics for linen, cotton, or florals.
 

2. Let the Light in – Use sheer curtains, open up blinds, and rearrange to maximise daylight.
 

3. Refresh with Paint – a feature wall, piece of furniture, or front door in a fresh spring tone makes a huge difference. Every changing a small accessory like a vase or lamp gives the feeling of a spring refresh. 
 

4. Clean the Windows and Mirrors – let sunlight bounce and sparkle—an instant lift.
 

5. Bring in Nature – fresh flowers, herbs, or painted plant pots connect your space to the outdoors.
 

6. Declutter and Re-style – clear away winter bulk and re-style shelves with lighter tones and open space.
