The Spring Edit: Thoughtful pieces to welcome the new season home

With a new season around the corner, I always find myself drawn to pieces that feel a little lighter - softer colours, natural materials, and small objects that bring a fresh energy into a space.

The Spring Edit is a collection of a few things that have caught my eye lately. Some practical, some purely decorative, but all pieces that would feel right at home as we move into the brighter months ahead.

Souffle Stool

Starting off strong with this sweet little stool from SMALLMEDIUMLARGE, it immediately caught my eye at IDS Toronto this year. The pale blue upholstery paired with the simple base feels soft and sculptural at the same time - the kind of piece that quietly adds personality to a room.

Small but impactful, it works just as well tucked beside a sofa as it does pulled out for an extra seat when guests arrive. Even the smallest pieces can bring a thoughtful layer of colour and form into a space.

Coline Sunglasses

Onto something practical - everything else in this edit will be home-related, but I couldn’t resist including these sunnies. I’ve never been much of a sunglasses person, but seeing them on CBK has changed my mind. Any time I spot them on someone, they seem to elevate a spring or summer look instantly.

This pair from Reformation caught my attention over the past few days: Three colour ways are available - the tortoise is my personal favourite.

Vintage Glassware

Next, these vintage German Römer wine glasses feel made for slow afternoons in the spring sunshine.

With their delicate etched bowls and distinctive green stems, they bring a little old-world charm to the table - the kind of piece that makes even a simple glass of wine feel like an occasion.

Römer glasses have been used for wine in the Rhine region of Germany for centuries and are known for their signature coloured stems.

I love incorporating vintage glassware like this into a table setting - it instantly adds character and makes a gathering feel a little more special.

Wall Plate

This Art Deco wall plate by Wäinö Aaltonen is such a beautiful example of sculptural wall decor. Created in the 1930s, the piece features a softly modelled relief and a warm, neutral glaze that gives it presence without feeling overly ornate. Aaltonen was one of Finland’s most celebrated sculptors of the early 20th century, known for his monumental public works and his ability to simplify form while still capturing movement and emotion.

I love the idea of mixing pieces like this into a gallery wall or letting it stand alone as a small moment of art - even a single object can bring character and history into a space.

Painter's Palette, Cutting Board

The Palette Cutting Board from Hem is one of those everyday objects that manages to feel quietly sculptural. Designed by the Los Angeles studio Spiritual Objects, its painter’s-palette shape turns a simple kitchen tool into something a little more playful and unexpected.

Made from thick solid wood and finished with food-safe oil, it’s sturdy enough for daily use but beautiful enough to leave out on the counter - or even hang on the wall when not in use.

Droplet Lamp

I was immediately drawn to the Droplet Lamp from the new collaboration between Colin King and Zara Home.

The softly rounded form feels almost liquid - simple, sculptural, and quietly elegant. Colin's work has always focused on the power of objects to activate a space, and this collection reflects that same philosophy: pieces designed to feel thoughtful, collected, and timeless rather than overly styled.

Jura Stool

The Jura Stool feels like a small piece of functional sculpture. Its organic form and rich materiality give it presence without overwhelming a room - the kind of object that works equally well as a stool, a side table, or simply an interesting shape in the corner of a space.

Pieces like this are a reminder that even the most practical furniture can double as art when the design is thoughtful.

Anthurium Stems, Peach

Finally, after using them in a recent styling shoot I’ve been especially drawn to peach anthuriums.

Their glossy, sculptural shape feels almost too perfect to be real, and the soft peach tone is such a beautiful alternative to the typical pinks and whites we see in spring arrangements.

Even just a few stems in a simple vase can completely shift the mood of a room - minimal and quietly striking.

Altogether, these are the kinds of pieces that make a home feel layered and personal - a mix of practical objects, vintage finds, sculptural accents, and the occasional beautiful stem.

As the season shifts, I always find myself drawn to items that feel a little lighter and more playful. Small additions like these can refresh a space without needing to change everything, and lately these are the things inspiring me most.
