Fall in love with fresh furniture and decor, even if you’re famously trend-averse

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?

The real surprise isn’t that this fanciful Shea McGee–designed armchair hides a swivel – it’s that there’s a coordinating ottoman, too.

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.

Roll out a new backdrop and let fresh energy in. Lulu and Georgia’s painterly Moze Wallpaper Mural brings movement to a sitting space, animating the room with softly layered abstract forms.
