Winter is coming to an end and the desire to renew its decoration is starting to be felt. After several months of favoring thick textiles, deep colors and a cozy atmosphere, it is time to develop your interior without losing the comfort and warmth that are the signature of the flamingo style.

Refreshing your interior after winter does not mean changing everything, but rather lighten and adapt the decoration for a smooth transition to brighter days. Here is tips and tricks to maintain an elegant, cozy and refined interior while opening it to the softness of the new season.

Adjusting colors for a brighter interior

The Flemish style is based on a palette of sober and natural colors, ideal for creating a timeless atmosphere. However, in late winter, some shades may appear too dark or too muted.

Opt for lighter tones : Swap deep shades like taupe or charcoal gray for softer shades like beige, off-white, linen or pearl gray.
Add pops of soft color : To give a little more dynamism, without breaking with the elegance of the Flemish style, integrate tones sage green, pale terracotta or blue gray on some accessories like cushions, curtains or small decorative objects.
Play with subtle contrasts : Combine light shades with woody touches and natural materials to maintain a warm atmosphere.

Changing textiles for more lightness

Replace blankets and cushions : Opt for fabrics in washed linen, waffle cotton or fine wool, perfect for maintaining a feeling of comfort without weighing down the atmosphere.
Adjust the curtains : Swap thick curtains for sheer curtains in natural linen or in light cotton, which let more light through while creating a soft, airy effect.
Bet on a lighter carpet : Replace your thick wool carpet with a model in braided jute or woven cotton, ideal for a transition to brighter days.

Lighten the decoration for a more refined effect

A warm interior does not mean an overloaded space. After winter, it is time to declutter and of find a feeling of lightness.

Sort out the accessories : Reduce the number of decorative objects to keep only those that bring real aesthetic value. Favor the clean rooms such as ceramic vases, natural candles and wicker baskets.

Avoid the accumulation of heavy materials : Swap thick blankets and bulky cushions for thinner, airier items.

Introduce natural elements for a lively touch

Add green plants : THE eucalyptus, olive trees or ferns are perfect for adding a plant-based touch without breaking with the natural and sophisticated spirit of this style.
Use dried flowers : They replace winter bouquets while keeping a refined and timeless effect. Place them in a ceramic or blown glass vase.
Choose light wood : A few touches of natural wood on furniture or decorative accessories (trays, frames, shelves) warm up the atmosphere and add character to the whole.

Review lighting for more natural light

At the end of winter, natural light gradually takes back its place. It is therefore essential to readapt your interior lighting to take advantage of it.

Maximize natural light : Open up your spaces by letting in as much daylight as possible. Choose light curtains over opaque net curtains and clear the windows.
Replace hot bulbs : In winter, we often prefer very subdued lighting. At the end of the season, consider switching to warm white bulbs (3000K-3500K) for a more dynamic atmosphere without losing any conviviality.
Multiply the light sources : Opt for ceramic or blown glass side lamps, as well as for candlesticks and lanterns which diffuse a lighter and brighter light.

Bet on graphic tables or posters : From frames to abstract patterns in neutral tones will bring a modern touch while remaining faithful to the Flemish spirit.
Integrate patinated metal : A few accessories in aged or brushed gold metal (furniture handles, vases, light fixtures) will gently modernize your decor.
