This time of year is always bursting with color outside. And with all those blooming buds and fresh green shoots, it’s understandable that you would want to bring that vibrancy inside, too.
Where to start? Well, as always, we do the heavy lifting for you—scrolling through Instagram for the latest inspiration, this time with an eye on the dining room (where hopefully you can host dinners again soon). Not that we were surprised, but the most popular posts on Instagram this week are making big, springlike statements.
1. Lilac-upholstered chairs
Nothing screams spring quite like this shade of pale purple, and we’re down for all of these fun and flirty lilac vibes in this post by @mangitas.
“Interior design trends are starting to use lilac more because it’s a soft color that keeps the room feeling bright,” says designer Andra DelMonico of Trendey. “It also pairs well with a broad range of neutral shades, and looks especially beautiful in rooms that are decorated with a feminine, elegant, luxurious, or modern theme.”

2. Mesh chandelier
This mesh chandelier from @houseandhomemag is the perfect example of where bold meets subtle, and evokes a light, airy feeling reminiscent of wings—in other words, perfect for this season.
“Mesh gives your chandelier an edgy and modern feel while also allowing plenty of light out,” says DelMonico. “Modern trends have taken mesh beyond the industrial light fixtures and elevated it. This combines interior design trends and helps to give your home an urban influence without being over the top.”
