Spring Home Styling Tips from a Top Interior Design Substack
Effortless Home Refresh Ideas – Interior Design Substack
spring favorites 🌷

Spring is here, and with it comes more daylight, a little less seasonal depression, and the annual struggle of convincing ourselves we suddenly love pastels.

I should also admit that I definitely have the flu, but instead of acknowledging that reality, I'll be:

  • Blasting Amanda Seyfried's Joni Mitchell cover like it's my personal heartbreak anthem.

  • Cleaning my house like I'm staging it for Architectural Digest (even though it's just me and a frozen lasagna).

  • Spiraling over why Italian Easter eggs are so much better than ours (because, of course, I fell down that rabbit hole).

Oh! And before we get into the good stuff, I had the absolute honor of being the first guest on What's the Mood? by

Simone Caldwell
, basically the coolest thing to happen to me this month.

If you’re not already subscribed to

Crying over Spilled Champagne
, you’re missing out. It’s one of those rare corners of the internet that feels creative, thoughtful, and like a deep breath in the middle of all the noise. Simone is building something special, and you’ll want to be able to say you were here from the start.

Mood 03.07.2025
On this month’s edition of What’s the Mood?, we are joined by a special guest, The Cabinista. I met Peyton on TikTok after one of her videos came across my FYP, and I fell in love with her content. She talks all things home, decor, design, and more. When I started What’s the Mood? in January, I knew I wanted it to be a regular series on my Substack, but…

Spring is here, which means I'm in my annual phase of wanting to refresh everything, but in a “small upgrades that make life better” way, not a “buy a bunch of pastel stuff and call it a day,” way."

Spring Home Refresh Tips for an Effortlessly Chic Space

1. Strawberry Forks. Yes, this is a thing.

A tiny fork, perfect for berries, cheese, and pastries, basically making snacking an event.

Where to find them:

  • Vintage silver sets on Etsy (search "antique fruit forks").

  • Sabre Paris makes the chicest modern versions.

  • & there’s more Strawberry Jam Spoon, Strawberry Colander, Strawberry Huller

2. The Coffee Table Book Trick No One Talks About

Remove the dust jackets. Instant upgrade.

The books that look best bare:

  • Any Taschen book – Their covers are always better than the glossy sleeve.

  • Old cookbooks – They suddenly feel like heirlooms

  • Vintage hardcovers – Search thrift stores for linen-bound ones in neutral tones

3. A Flower Subscription

Because nothing feels more luxurious than always having fresh flowers in the house.

Best options:

  • Local farm subscriptions – Search "[your city] + CSA flowers" for the best (and cheapest) seasonal bundles.

  • The Bouqs – Monthly arrangements straight out of a fashion editorial. I also love the Flower Bx Signature Subscription & Bloomsy Subscription

  • Your grocery store hack – Find out what day your market gets fresh deliveries and only buy then.

4. Duvet Clips

No more lumpy, shifting duvets that turn your bedding into a wrestling match. Duvet clips keep everything crisp and hotel-perfect.
