Justina Blakeney’s Fresh Style Picks
Spring is in the air — and there’s no better time to prep your space for everyday living, relaxing, dining and hosting. Curated by Jungalow® designer Justina Blakeney, these seasonal picks feature bright colors, fresh patterns and a light, airy style.
Living in Style
Airy silhouettes make a room feel lighter. Think soft, curved sofas, with cozy seating that is deceptively durable – like the Nomad Estate Sofa in ivory, which features performance fabric and a laidback frame. With each design emphasizing renewal, this space embraces Justina Blakeney’s motto of “making everything bright and airy, and really welcoming the springtime!” To get the look, build slowly with elements from nature: make use of wood tables, indoor plants and textures like rattan.
A Fresh Take on Relaxation
The bedroom is all about calming, year-round. To make it bounce a little more for the milder weather and budding blossoms of April, May and beyond, choose creative details. A bohemian leaning is perfect for the time of year, where seagrass meets wall decor and a rattan chair serves as a study seat.
Other ways to mix a whimsical spirit with a sense of serenity? Justina Blakeney looks to examining your space with new eyes. In the designer’s own words, her go-to steps include “redoing indoor plants, cleaning things up, [and focusing on] a deep refresh. I believe deeply in the power of cleansing a space.”
Inspired by the Garden
Just as with the living room and bedroom, Justina Blakeney makes sure the dining space reflects the beauty and lightness of the outside world. “Spring,” the designer says, “inspires so much creativity. When things are reborn and when everything is coming to life again, it just makes me want to give birth to new designs and new ideas.”

Springtime Hosting
In Justina’s book, simplicity meets a unique charm, and teak comes fast into play here. With its organic feel, natural wood grain and a sunny disposition, this outdoor material makes the perfect complement to spring hosting. The Solana Teak Dining Set concludes Justina’s list of spring favorites, as it can be played up or down (preferably, up)! “There’s a lot of rebirth energy when it comes to the springtime,” the designer quips; starting with a solid base brings up so much potential for decorating around it – from light-and-airy seat cushions to a strong, warm rug, the outdoors has never felt so ‘in’ for this season of renewal!
The Season’s Essentials
Teak dining sets, seagrass wall decor, curved sofas, textured rugs, and rattan, patterned and barrel chairs round out the Jungalow® designer’s favorites for the spring . . . or any time of year when you’re yearning for a home refresh. Let these thoughtful designs, from basic neutral starting-off points (sofa, dining set) to the ever-important details (plants, centerpieces, pillows and mirrors), be just the beginning — like the season itself.
