I’m Not a Fan of the ‘Florals for Spring’ Cliché – But All This Season’s Biggest Trends Are Actually Floral-Free, Chic, and Timeless

Living room with gingham blinds, large red and blue rug, velvet blue sofa, floral armchair and coffee table with books and vase.

I love spring, however, I am not the biggest fan of floral decor. It can read a little cliché or unsophisticated if done wrong, and often doesn't have the longevity to last beyond April. However, this year's designer-approved spring trends stray from the familiar tropes. The colors are richer, and the prints more grown-up; this is spring decor that's chic and timeless.

Of course, there's still a place for pastels and floral spring decor, but for 2026, designers predict lived-in, richer details designed to last will be all the rage this season. Pastels might have once dominated, but deeper hues, patinaed organic materials, and characterful styles and shapes are set to stand out in the coming months.
