Biggest UK Interiors Trend? Embracing the Art of Seasonal Styling

Creating a home that evolves with the seasons, reflecting the beauty of each chapter of the year. 

At Maché Interiors, we’ve noticed a growing trend - more clients are collaborating with us to refresh their homes with seasonal styling. Homeowners have been inspired to bring fresh, seasonal updates into their homes, celebrating each season's unique beauty while keeping their home connected to the landscape around them. Rather than a full redesign, we’re seeing more people look for mood boards and styling advice that bring the seasons into their homes.

Books like Evergreen by Lydia Millen and A Home for Every Season by Steffy Degreff have brought seasonal styling to the forefront of people's minds. With shows like With Love, Meghan and the resurgence of Martha Stewart, more people than ever are discovering that updating their homes to reflect the seasons is much easier than they originally thought.

Here are five tips on how you can achieve seasonal updates in your home:

1. Soft Furnishings

Soft furnishings are the easiest and most cost-effective way to update your home each season. Working with the existing colour palette of the room you want to update, pick accents that are darker for the colder periods or lighter for summer and spring. For example, if your room is green, you can choose lighter, fresher accents like a sage linen for spring, with brighter green patterns in summer, moving to a complementary rust shade in autumn, and finally, a dark green boucle for winter. Throws and cushion covers in switched-up colours and fabrics are a great way to inject a fresh seasonal feel into any space. 

2. Foliage and Flower Installations

Who doesn’t love flowers in their home? Another easy way to update your home each season is through foliage and flower installations. We always suggest that clients keep a large statement vase in a few key areas, allowing them to update it with seasonal foliage. This could be a weekly flower subscription that evolves with the seasons, or quarterly updates with faux, preserved, or dried flowers. Another great option is to not just reserve mantelpiece decorations or the front of your house for Christmas, but to see these as opportunities to update and design for every season too.

Maché Tip – Shop your garden! Plan your planting to give you seasonal flowers and foliage at no cost! A holy bush can give you an abundance of foliage for home styling in the winter months and wildflowers can be a wonderful low maintenance planting option that will give you wonderful flower arrangements come summer.  

3. Decorative Accents

Like foliage, decorative accents are a great way to add a quick update to your home that’s in line with the season. From celebrating growth and rebirth in spring with freshly planted bulbs, through to autumnal pumpkins and gourds, alongside rustic lanterns and candles, to cosy stacks of logs and bowls of winter foliage. Small decorative touches can have a big seasonal impact!

4. Scent

Incorporating seasonally inspired candles or diffusers is a wonderful way to refresh your home and make it feel connected to the changing seasons. There are some great home fragrance options that you can spray around your home, and don’t forget to switch up your candles for the season. Nothing evokes a sense of winter like cinnamon and spice, and likewise, a fresh, bright floral scent will instantly make a room feel ready for spring.

5. Lighting

Adjusting the atmosphere with lighting is a great way to make a space feel seasonal. An abundance of candles and soft lighting in winter will help make a room feel cosy and warm, while making sure you have lighter curtains and make the most of natural light can help your room feel bright and sun-filled in the spring and summer months.

Maché Tip - Set up a “turndown service” for your home. When the dark nights set in, programme your lamps to turn on when you get home, so your spaces feel warm, cosy and inviting as soon as you walk in the door.
