Posted on 16th April 2025 at 13:30
Looking for a trusted painter and decorator in Crewe and Nantwich? This spring decorating guide is packed with tips to help refresh your home inside and out — from trending paint colours and eco-friendly choices to expert advice on exterior updates using quality products like Farrow & Ball and Dulux.
With spring in full swing and longer days bringing in more light, it’s the perfect time to refresh tired spaces and boost kerb appeal. A fresh coat of paint – whether inside or out – makes a noticeable difference, especially after months of damp, grey weather.
This guide covers practical decorating tips, trending colour ideas, and advice on products that deliver great results. Whether planning to tackle a single room or a full repaint, this is the ideal season to get started.
Why Spring Is the Ideal Time to Redecorate
Spring is often seen as a season of renewal, and decorating at this time can align with that fresh-start feeling. The increase in natural light makes it easier to see imperfections on walls and woodwork, and paint tends to dry more evenly with the milder weather conditions.
Many homeowners also use spring as a time to get interiors in shape before summer visitors or to start outdoor updates before the heat sets in.
Trending Colours for Spring: Calm, Clean and Green
This year’s most popular colours are rooted in nature – soft greens, neutral earth tones, and muted blues. These shades work particularly well in spring, helping to brighten rooms while keeping them feeling calm and lived-in. Green shades in particular are proving popular. Whether used as a main wall colour or as an accent, green adds freshness and a feeling of balance. Choosing sustainable or low-VOC paints is also increasingly common, with brands like Farrow & Ball and Dulux offering environmentally conscious options.
Some standout options include:
Farrow & Ball – Breakfast Room Green: a warm, botanical green that brings the outside in.
Farrow & Ball – Skylight: a delicate blue-grey that lifts a space without overwhelming it.
Dulux – Tranquil Dawn: a cool green with a hint of grey, great for bedrooms or bathrooms.
Interior Decorating Tips for a Seasonal Reset
When it comes to interiors, small changes can have a big impact. Spring is the time to tackle those areas that feel dark or closed-in after winter. Neutral palettes with warmer undertones work well in spring light, and they’re easy to pair with existing furniture and finishes.
Key spaces to focus on:
Hallways: Often the first space seen, a simple repaint can completely change the welcome of a home.
Living Rooms: Swapping darker tones for lighter neutrals or soft greens can lift the mood.
Bedrooms: Spring is a great excuse to create a calmer, sleep-friendly space with subtle blues or creams.
Kitchens: Greys, sage tones, or even a contrasting island colour add interest and freshness.
Paint isn’t just for walls. Refreshing internal doors, skirting boards or even ceilings can transform a room without a full redecoration.

Exterior Painting: Improve First Impressions
Exterior paintwork often takes a beating over winter. Spring provides a good weather window for exterior work – not too hot, not too damp – and it’s worth taking advantage of it before conditions become too unpredictable later in the year.
Common areas that benefit from seasonal repainting include:
Exterior walls (masonry or render)
Windows and door frames
Soffits, fascias and gutters
Fences, sheds, and gates
Using durable exterior paints from brands like Dulux Weathershield ensures a longer-lasting finish. These paints are designed to withstand the UK’s variable weather and can help protect surfaces from moisture and fading.

Going Green – Literally and Sustainably
Green is more than just a colour trend this year. It’s also about making environmentally conscious choices in how and what to paint.
Modern paint brands are now offering low-VOC (volatile organic compound) formulations that reduce air pollution inside the home without compromising on quality. We offer premium eco-friendly options from trusted brands like Farrow & Ball and Dulux, known for their water-based, low-emission paints suitable for both residential and commercial projects.
Choosing timeless colour palettes in natural tones also means less frequent redecorating, which helps reduce waste long-term.
Finishing Touches: Details That Complete a Space
A seasonal update doesn’t have to be a full renovation.
Often, it’s the little touches that make the biggest difference:
Repainting woodwork for a crisp, clean edge
Adding contrast with painted panelling or a feature wall
Matching skirting boards and door frames with modern neutrals
Refreshing radiators with heat-resistant paint in a complementary tone
These small updates help tie a room together and give it a finished, well-considered feel.
