Sunshine, Blooms & Good Vibes: The April Style Guide by Designs By Erica
As we transition from spring into early summer, there’s a distinct shift in the air — a craving for lighter spaces, softer textures, and details that spark joy. At #DesignsByErica, our April Style Guide is all about embracing that seasonal shift with intentional, feel-good design. Inspired by golden hour hues, botanical textures, and playful summer energy, this guide is your blueprint for creating a home that feels as refreshing as it looks.
Aesthetic Direction: Where Spring Softness Meets Summer Radiance
This month’s style story is rooted in ease and brightness. We drew inspiration from the lightness of spring mornings and the warmth of early summer evenings to curate a look that feels effortlessly fresh:
-
Color Palette: Airy whites, petal pinks, and sun-kissed golds
-
Textures: Natural fibers, glossy ceramics, and soft florals
-
Mood: Relaxed elegance meets whimsical charm
Think of it as a visual deep breath — a moment of calm and beauty, captured in every detail.
