Lightweight blankets and cushions: the perfect accessories for a flamingo decor between winter and spring

The transition from winter to spring is a delicate period in terms of decoration. The days are getting longer, the light is getting softer, and the desire for lightness is felt. However, the evenings are still cool and the need for comfort remains essential. Light blankets and cushions then become essential accessories to create a cozy and refined interior, without weighing down the space.

In a flamingo style, which combines timeless elegance and natural simplicity, these textiles play a key role. By adjusting materials, colors and textures, it is possible to bring a harmonious atmosphere that links the two seasons. Find out how to choose and arrange your light blankets and cushions for a flamingo decor perfectly suited to this time of year.

Why choose light blankets and cushions at the end of winter?

As winter draws to a close, it's time to adapt your decor to the changing light and warmer temperatures. Heavy and thick textiles are gradually giving way to more airy materials., while maintaining the essence of Flemish comfort and style.

The advantages of light blankets and cushions for this period:

Comfort always present : Even if the temperatures are getting milder, a blanket remains ideal for still cool evenings.
A brighter atmosphere : By swapping dense materials for lighter fabrics, the decoration adapts to the new season without losing elegance.
A subtle renewal of decoration : Changing your cushions and throws allows you to effortlessly transform the interior ambiance.

Choosing the right materials: comfort without heaviness

The choice of materials is essential to ensure a smooth transition between winter and spring. In a Flemish interior, we always favor natural materials, which bring texture and character to the decoration.

The best materials for lightweight blankets:

Washed linen : Very popular in the flamingo style, it brings a crumpled and natural texture, perfect for a refined and light decoration.
Waffle or honeycomb cotton : Ideal for replacing thick wool blankets, it offers pleasant lightness and softness.
Fine merino wool : An excellent compromise for still cool evenings, it is soft and airy without being too hot.
Hemp : An ecological and resistant fabric, perfect for a natural and refined look.

The perfect fabrics for cushions suitable for this period:

Flax : A breathable and timeless material that adapts to all seasons.
Woven cotton : Soft and easy to maintain, it comes in several textures which add relief to the decoration.
Lightweight corduroy : Ideal for keeping a cozy touch without the overly wintery effect of classic velvet.

Colors and patterns for a soft and balanced atmosphere

THE flamingo style rests on a neutral and natural color palette, which evolves gently according to the seasons. At the end of winter, we lighten the shades while maintaining a warm and elegant base.

The colors to favor for this period:

Off-white and ecru : To bring light and accentuate the airy effect of light materials.
Beige and natural linen : Timeless tones that subtly warm the space.
Sage green and light olive : To add a vegetal and refreshing touch without being too lively.
Blue gray and clay : Soothing colors that fit perfectly into a Flemish interior.

What patterns should be included?

Discreet stripes : For an elegant and timeless effect.
Textured weaves : A great alternative to prints to add subtle relief.
Delicate floral patterns : Perfect for announcing spring while remaining in a soft aesthetic.
