How to add a pop of colour to your home for a fresh spring look

The sun has been shining recently, the days are longer and hotter, and spring has well and truly settled in. With the lighter evenings and warmer weather putting everyone in a brighter mood, now’s the time when many of us start to look around the house and feel ready for a change. A pop of colour here and there can lift your whole space, and it doesn’t take much to make your home feel as fresh and energised as the season outside.

At Cover My Furniture, we’ve been helping you refresh your interior for over 60 years with fitted sofa covers that make it easy to switch up your style with the seasons. So if you’re feeling inspired by the brighter days, here are some of our favourite (and very 2025!) ways to add a pop of colour to your home this spring.

Embrace earthy greens and nature-inspired shades

One of the easiest (and most on-trend) ways to add colour this spring is by taking inspiration from nature. 2025 is all about reconnecting with the outdoors, so look out for rich terracotta, olive green, soft clay and ocean blue. These grounding tones work especially well in living rooms and bedrooms and pair beautifully with wood, linen, and other natural textures.

If you’re not ready to repaint a wall, try switching up your soft furnishings. Our fitted sofa covers are a great way to experiment with colour – without the commitment. This spring, we’re loving shades like Everyday Velvet in Rose, Luxury Cotton Weave in Marine, and Signature Weave in Linen.

Mix and layer textures for a ‘soft maximalist’ look

Gone are the days when everything matched perfectly. 2025 interiors are embracing a softer, more expressive style that’s full of texture and personality. Think plush cushions in bold colours, mixed patterns across throws and rugs, and layered fabrics that create a welcoming, lived-in feel.

You don’t need to go all-out maximalist if that’s not your thing, just introduce a few bold accents to break up plain surfaces. A deep pink cushion against a moss green cover? Beautiful. A patterned throw draped over a neutral-toned chair? Perfect. The key is to play around until your space feels joyful and fresh.

Curved furniture is here to stay

Curved shapes make colour feel softer, more organic and easier to live with, which is why they work so beautifully in spring interiors. Whether it’s a rounded coffee table, arched mirror, wave-edged lamp or sculptural ceramic vase, these fluid forms instantly add a sense of calm and movement to your space.

Try pairing them with this season’s most popular shades, like blush pink, sage green, butter yellow or soft lilac. These colours feel fresh but not overpowering – perfect if you want to lift the look of your room without going too bold. Even just one or two curved accents in a seasonal shade can create a beautiful focal point and help the rest of your décor feel more cohesive.

Add colour in unexpected places

One of the most exciting ways to brighten up your space this spring is by adding colour somewhere you wouldn’t normally expect it. Think tiled splashbacks in rich, joyful shades – not just in kitchens and bathrooms, but in hallway nooks or behind open shelving too. It’s a trend we’re seeing everywhere right now, and it’s a great way to introduce something bold without needing to redecorate a whole room.

Painted furniture is another easy win. A lemon yellow sideboard, cobalt blue cabinet or apple green table leg can instantly lift a more neutral space and give it that lively spring energy. You could even freshen up your sofas with one of our fitted sofa covers, they’re a perfect alternative to traditional settee covers that often lack style or fit. Our covers come in a wide range of colours and fabrics, letting you add a vibrant pop of colour without replacing your whole sofa. From buttery yellows to soft greens, it’s an easy way to make a big impact without replacing your entire suite.

It’s all about those playful touches that feel intentional but effortless. A well-placed pop of colour like this brings life to a room and gives your space a bit more personality, all while staying completely unique to you.
