As the days grow longer and the air turns warmer, it’s the perfect time to start dreaming up your next home or garden project. Luckily, a fresh crop of inspiring design and gardening books have just hit the shelves to help you transform your space for the season of renewal.
A Blossoming of New Design Ideas
From bold color palettes to innovative approaches to outdoor living, these recently published titles offer a bounty of creative inspiration. Take for instance Homes & Gardens’ look at the top spring 2025 design trends – butter yellow, sense-scaping, and a mix of old and new are all set to be big this year.
Meanwhile, the new book “Defining Style” breaks down 25 of the most recognizable design aesthetics, from Coastal to Collected, to help readers identify and understand different styles. “Style is a vast language,” as the book’s introduction notes, and this guide provides a helpful roadmap for finding your own unique design voice.
Blooming Inspiration for the Garden
Of course, no spring design refresh is complete without tending to the great outdoors. Several new gardening titles are here to help, like "A Year in Bloom: Flowering Bulbs for Every Season" which showcases over 150 bulbs with expert planting advice. And as home and garden shows make their return, green thumbs can find even more hands-on inspiration.
The bigger picture here is that this spring’s new design and gardening books offer a fresh perspective on creating beautiful, functional living spaces – both indoors and out. Whether you’re looking to avoid common gardening pitfalls or simply want to try a bold new style, these titles are sure to get your creative juices flowing. So why not get inspired and start planning your springtime transformation?
