Spring decor shifts
Spring refreshes are trending toward lighter fabrics and natural elements — swap heavy textiles for linen or cotton and add greenery and seasonal blooms for instant brightness.

Pinterest’s annual “Pinterest Predicts” forecast — released in early December 2025 and based on billions of in‑app searches — is one of the platforms designers point to when calling natural linens and tactile textures a rising spring focus; Pinterest’s methodology pages and coverage note the report’s broad data base and historical predictive accuracy. (business.pinterest.com/pinterest-predicts/about/; ppc.land; socialmediatoday.com) Major retailers have timed product drops to the season: West Elm published a Spring 2026 collection on Feb. 19 emphasizing sculpted silhouettes and botanical accents, and IKEA rolled out more than 1,400 new items this spring that include multiple linen bedding and lightweight textile options. (pinterest.com/westelm/spring-2026-collection/; hunker.com) Trade and shelter press are cataloguing linen as a leading bedding material for 2026, with Livingetc’s Feb. 24 round‑up listing “washed” and slubby linen among six bedding trends interior designers are specifying this year. (livingetc.com) Texture-first detailing is showing up beyond textiles: Homedit’s recent “15 Fluted Design Ideas for 2026” piece illustrates ribbed furniture, stone basins and timber fluting as applied elements, while industry outlets track fluted panels and ribbed millwork across U.S. projects for 2025–2026. (homedit.com; thelivedesignproject.com) Ornamental plaster and hand‑sculpted bas‑relief work are reappearing in commissions and studio work, with makers like Marli Arizona and studios producing in‑situ sculpted plaster panels and suppliers such as Hyde Park Mouldings advertising extensive decorative plaster inventories for restoration and new‑build projects. (thesuperstrata.com; hyde-park.com) Market signals back the refresh: Wayfair reported Q4 2025 net revenue of roughly $3.34 billion, up 6.9% year‑over‑year, and broader retailer rollouts of spring collections suggest both consumer spending and supply chains remain oriented toward seasonal home updates this spring.
