We're always on board with a little spring cleaning, but this year we're taking it further: spring decorating. It's a real energy booster for hosting family and guests; as for us, we're creatively stimulated by adding little pops of chic without going crazy and spending a ton. Interior designer Emily Henderson shows us what she's using from the Opalhouse, the new home collection at Target (where she's a brand ambassador). Elements of bright color, feminine prettiness and California cool play nicely together—all at smile-inducing prices.
Freshen Your Patio With Graphic Elements
Henderson uses her terrace as an outdoor living and dining space for most of the year, so spring is a natural time to spruce it up with a graphic new set of chairs and colorful dinnerware.
Embrace Pink (It's the New Neutral)
In Henderson's daughter's room, a leafy mural makes a cooling backdrop for pops of pink. Lean in to the rosey tones by adding a bold throw and pillow combo.
Every Bedroom Needs a Snuggly Accent or Two
Henderson's bedroom is a restful interplay of blues and natural textures that she finds cozy. She'd lighten up the palette a bit for warmer weather.
Your Living Room Wants To Get Earthy
Neutrals can refresh a room as much as vivid color, and Henderson's crushing on creamy elements to add to the eclectic mix of her living room.
