As we hang up our winter coats and swap sweaters for sundresses, it’s time to welcome spring with open arms. Gardens are bursting to life, we’re opening the doors to let that fresh air in, and brightening up our spaces to match the longer, warmer days ahead.
From al fresco dining to sunny yellow accents to the surprisingly chic return of the landline, spring’s design trends are ready to bloom. Here’s what you need to know to celebrate the new season in style.
The Return of the Landline
Though we won’t be tossing our smart phones any time soon, we’ve noticed a return to nostalgic landline telephones—specifically ones with a little vintage flair. Whether it’s placed on your side table as a charming conversation starter, nestled in a cozy reading nook, or added as a playful twist to the classic landline, the rotary phone is about to make a stylish return.
No landline? No problem! Bring out this charmer at your next dinner party or mahjong night and let the stories tell themselves. Guests can “call-in” and leave their own messages – no operator needed, just pure nostalgia and fun that will leave everyone talking – literally!

You simply cannot have a landline without the perfect accompanying table, and telephone tables are having a moment of their own! Whether used as a chic cocktail table or positioned by your favorite chair to elevate your morning coffee ritual, these little gems add instant charm and function to any space. Style with your local newspaper, a stack of VERANDA magazines, and your daily to-do list, and just like that you’re off to the races with a stylish and productive start to your day!

Shades of Yellow
Yellow is officially the color of the season, and you can’t turn your head without seeing this cheerful hue—from buttery yellow to charming daffodil—in some form or fashion. Yellow has a sense of magic; she breathes life into any space, which is why spring is the perfect time to invite her into your home. Try adding a yellow planter, cozy throw blanket, or coffee table book to add warmth and light into your space. It’s like a splash of sunshine!
