BRINGING SPRING INSIDE, WHATEVER THE WEATHER
In Yangon we're currently sweltering in 40 degree heat, willing the rainy season to arrive. Meanwhile the UK is serving up an extraordinary cocktail of snowstorms and heatwaves.
But the date resolutely tells us that it is Spring, and we're dressing our home accordingly.
Here are 5 ways to bring Spring inside. They're obvious, but actually do them and we guarantee brightness and joy at home, whatever the weather outside.

ONE | SEASONAL FLOWERS
This is the absolute best time of year for flowers, so seize the moment and look up your nearest garden centre. Buy Delphiniums, Hydrangea, Soloman's Seal and Foxgloves. Peonies are coming, and there's colour everywhere, so don't miss it!
Go for a wild, thrown together look, like this gorgeous bunch by Willow Crossley.

TWO | LIFT THE LOOK WITH CLEAN, BRIGHT FABRICS
We are big advocates of having two wardrobes for the sofa. It's a very easy way to instantly change the feel of the room. Swap any heavy, wintery cushion covers for something light and clean for Spring.
A throw is also a great cheat. Again, make it light and fresh.

THREE | INVEST IN COLOURFUL GLASSWARE
Colourful glassware is such an easy way to add a pop to the table, and there's something cooling and refreshing about glass. Maybe something to do with its likely contents.
These are handblown from recycled glass, and are all a bit wonky. Colourful and characterful, and perfect for Spring tables.

FOUR | REPAINT YOUR FRONT DOOR
Sounds dramatic, but picture the scene: a bright sunny day, overalls on, radio playing, and a fresh, new, delightful door-colour at the end of it all. It's also a guaranteed way to give you pep in your step as you get home in the long evenings ahead.
Rita Konig has some stellar advise on where to start with choosing a colour.
