It’s a fine line: you want your home to feel current without becoming a casualty of the trend cycle. Trends, after all, are fickle – often a rat race worth sitting out.
That said, a fresh lineup of living room arrivals from Homes & Gardens long-loved favorites proves you don’t have to sit spring decorating out entirely to land somewhere of-the-now. This new cohort feels uncommonly fresh – from Shea McGee’s brilliant decision to add a swivel base to her best-selling skirted furniture line for Target, now offered in ten spring-forward cotton upholsteries, to Lulu and Georgia’s clever five-panel wall mural, which not only turns art into an immersive experience, but begs the question: why did we all agree art had to stay inside a frame?
Meanwhile, IKEA does what it does best: bringing a pragmatic Scandi lens to the sitting room. This season, that looks like woven catchalls such as the cheerfully graphic Ommjänge baskets, which tidy up a cluttered credenza while building a pretty ironclad case for pink and orange – a color pairing we didn’t know we needed to shake off winter hibernation.
Across the board, expect a newfound optimism emanating familiar, vintage-inspired forms. Think twisted accents to texturemaxx a coffee table, lacquered furniture reimagined in buoyant spring shades, and the occasional deeper tone to ground all that pink.
We don’t like to be trendy either. Ahead, 15 pieces that signal taste, not timing, this spring.
The Round is Homes & Gardens' collection of the must-have pieces shaping styles, trends, and ideas. It brings together thoughtfully curated products that express a single moment – offering readers inspiring ways to style their homes through seasonal themes, emerging looks, and everyday pieces.
