Adopt a brighter, more natural palette

One of the easiest ways to transform the ambiance of a living room is to work with colorThe Flamingo style already relies on soft, neutral hues, which makes the transition to sunny days easier.

Colors to favor in spring and summer:

Off-white and sand beige : to illuminate the room and reflect natural light.
Light linen and pearl gray : for an elegant and soothing base.
Sage green, blue-grey or old pink : in small touches for a fresh and vegetal note.

💡 Decorating tip: Replace some cushion covers or curtains with versions in these spring shades to change the mood without renovating everything.

Lighten textiles for freshness

The transition to sunny days is the ideal time to replace warm and thick materials by textiles lighter and more breathable.

Textiles to include in a spring living room:

Washed linen cushions, in natural or pastel tones.
Lightweight cotton blankets, to be placed casually on an armrest or an armchair.
Curtains made of linen or light cotton voile, which let the light through while creating a soft atmosphere.

💡 Decorating tip: avoid shiny or overly worked fabrics, prefer natural, crumpled or lightly textured textures, which add depth without visually overloading.

Optimize natural light

The Flemish style values the soft, diffused light, perfect for sunny days. It only takes a few adjustments to let in as much light as possible in your living room.

Free the windows by removing heavy curtains or items that obstruct light.
Place a mirror in front of a window to reflect light and visually enlarge the space.
Choose furniture and accessories in light shades, which capture light better than dark surfaces.

💡 Decorating tip: a large mirror with a patinated wooden or matte black metal frame fits perfectly into a Flemish decor while amplifying the brightness.

Bring a plant-based, fresh and natural touch

Who says beautiful days says nature, greenery, flowers… Spring and summer are the ideal seasons for integrate plant elements into the living room.

Plants and flowers to favor in a flamingo decor:

Potted eucalyptus, olive or lavender, for a Mediterranean atmosphere.
Ferns or pileas, for light touches of green.
Fresh seasonal flowers such as tulips, peonies or ranunculus, in ceramic or blown glass vases.
Dried herbs or grasses, in a tall vase for a rustic effect.

💡 Decorating tip: group a few plants together in terracotta, stoneware or zinc pots to create a cohesive plant corner.

Rethinking decorative objects with lightness

The Flemish style is simple and refined. In spring, we focus on fewer objects but carefully chosen.

Replace dark metal candle holders by clear glass tealight holders.
Remove objects that are too dark or massive, in favor of more airy elements: light ceramics, small plant frames, wicker baskets.
Add books with natural covers, candles with fresh scents (cotton flower, linen, eucalyptus).

💡 Decorating tip: Arrange a light wood or marble top with a few minimalist decorative objects for an elegant and seasonal coffee table.

Rearrange the space for a feeling of openness

The beautiful days make you want to breathe, to get some fresh air. Why not revisit the layout of your living room to make it smoother and less cluttered?

Declutter surfaces : shelves, consoles, sideboards.
Move furniture slightly away from the walls to give a feeling of volume.
Remove unnecessary items to highlight materials and light.
Add a lightweight armchair in rattan or light wood for a reading or relaxation corner.

💡 Decorating tip: Rotate your decor seasonally. Store winter items in a dedicated box to bring out in the fall.

Play with natural materials for a lively effect

The Flemish style loves raw but processed materials, those that tell something. In spring, they take on their full meaning, especially if they are mixed with subtlety.

Light or weathered wood : on furniture, frames or accessories.
Crumpled linen and cotton : for curtains, cushions, tablecloths.
Matte ceramics and raw stoneware : for vases, lamps or decorative objects.
Rattan or cane : in touch, on an armchair or a flowerpot.

💡 Decorating tip: combine two or three of these materials in the same composition (e.g.: a stoneware vase on a light wood console with a linen table runner).

Creating spring atmospheres

Finally, think about create a scene for certain corners of your living room to make them live to the rhythm of spring.

Reading corner with linen armchair, soft lamp, small plant.
Coffee table with fresh flower arrangement, scented candle, seasonal book.
Console or sideboard with mirror, vase and light decorative objects.

These micro-stagings contribute to the identity of the part, without overdoing it.
