The season of renewal, vibrant colors & friendly atmospheres is back. Why not bring this energy into your home with daisy-inspired decor and soft accessories tinted a bold yellow? In this article, we'll explore how to transform your home & table into a veritable haven of freshness!
Daisies are emblematic spring flowers, symbolizing simplicity & purity. Their dazzling whiteness with a punch of yellow immediately adds a note of vitality to your decor. Incorporating daisies into your room is a great way to celebrate the season. Here are a few ideas for using them:
Fresh or dried bouquets:
Place a pretty bouquet of daisies in a clear vase to maximize the natural light reflecting off the white petals. Dried daisy bouquets, delicately hung or incorporated into wall wreaths, are also very trendy.
Decorative details:
Daisy motifs can be subtly added to your cushions, curtains or tablecloths. A light fabric printed with small daisies will bring a soft spring effect.
Choosing soft vases or vases with a wink of yellow will spread positive & luminous energy throughout your space.
Pastel vases:
Opt for pale yellow or pastel vases. They can be made of ceramic or clear glass to keep the light & airy look of the season. You can use them as a table centerpiece, on a shelf or near a window to welcome every ray of sunshine.
Colorful, matching vases:
If you prefer to play with bolder shades, you can choose yellow vases paired with hues like light blue or water green. The idea is to create a spring-blown palette that will delight the eye.

To complement a floral decor, why not offer your guests light bites that also highlight the season? Here are a few ideas for recipes that are simple to prepare, but full of flavor:
- Melon & parma ham skewers (famous proscuitto): Chunks of fresh melon wrapped in Parma ham, all skewered on small skewers for a sunny & savory bite.
- Mini goat cheese and honey tartlets: Small puff pastry bases topped with fresh goat cheese, sweet honey & a few fresh herbs for an invigorating dance on your taste buds.
- Hummus and crunchy vegetable toast: Lightly toasted slices of farmhouse bread, spread with hummus, then topped with crunchy seasonal vegetables (radishes, carrots, cucumber). With a flower-shaped cookie cutter if you want to push the concept to the max! 🤭
- Cucumber bites with avocado cream: Slices of cucumber topped with avocado cream, lemony & seasoned, topped with sesame seeds for a crunchy note.
By combining luminous decor with bright bites, you're ready to welcome spring in all its splendor. Make sure every detail contributes to the overall ambience: floral scented candles, colorful cushions or sparkling garlands can add a “kozy” effect to your home.
HAPPY SPRING TO ALL!
