SPRING DESIGN GUIDE light, dry, warm, refreshing
LIFESTYLE As winter recedes, gradually begin to rise earlier Socialize & initiate/rekindle meaningful relationships Try something new, embrace a sense of playfulness Do your best not to overindulge on sleep
KITCHEN The best diet to follow is light and full of chlorophyll Eat foods that are light, drying and warm the body Embrace bitter, pungent (spicy) and astringent tastes Clean out the oven, open and clean windows, dust
HOME Bring in bright, warming colors like reds, yellows and oranges in early spring, while the weather is cool and wet As the weather heats up, gradually shift toward cooling blues, greens, purples and whites Use grapefruit, rosemary and geranium scents Have a wood element in your home with plants, images, scents, etc Change out bed linens, table linens, throw pillows, blankets, art and accessories (stick with cotton and linen fabrics) DESIGN TIP: One fundamental design principles I use to inform interior selections is that our routines, kitchen and home should ebb and flow with the seasons. To harmonize with the spring season we look to see what qualities are naturally occurring outdoors. Spring is characterized by warmth (or less cold), moisture and a palpable softness. To harmonize ourselves and our lives we create balance by bringing in opposing qualities — lightness, dryness, warmth and freshness.
