AS the glum greys of the outdoors transform to spring's pastel palette, there’s no better time to create a sleek new look at home.
Companies such as Diloll help to bring the outdoors inside with their bespoke water coloured cushions influenced by some of Scotland’s prettiest blooms, as well as Gilding the Lilly which specialises in the finishing touches to make your house a home.
Individuality is also a key trend this year.
Companies such as Sienna Interiors - which offers a full design service to reflect your personality - to Edinburgh’s Moody Monday which truly embraces individuality with bold custom designs, are on hand to help home owners express themselves in 2017.
Similarly BOBO1325 and Time and Tide are delighted to offer a personal service to show off your style.
This year is also about creating a space where you can relax and unwind, with BoConcept leading the way with the latest Scandi trends. Offering home furniture with modern and slick design, they are on hand to kit out rooms.
And let’s not forget the heat of any home – the kitchen. Integral to everyday life, making the decision to redecorate isn’t one that’s taken lightly.
That’s something DAW Kitchens appreciate, with the team proud to offer designs and a service that reflects just that.
The better weather also gives a chance to turn your attention to the garden ahead of summer. Make yourself at home in the great outdoors with a little help from family run business JML Garden Rooms.
Or for those who can’t face taking on the challenge alone – a wealth of professionals are on hand to help. This is something experienced designer John Amabile knows only too well and is on hand to create spaces to suit your lifestyle.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
