Dainty decor is set to be one of the biggest spring interior trends, according to Pinterest UK search data. Here’s how to style bows, frills and ruffles in your own space – and where to shop for the best whimsical pieces, including Primark Home and Dunelm.  


Pastels, stripes, gingham and florals are all classic spring aesthetics that we all know and love. But when it comes to fresh, current trends, who better to listen to than Pinterest?

To mark the launch of its new spring home collection with Primark, Pinterest has declared ’dainty decor’ as one of its key trends of the season, thanks to an uptick in search data for floral crockery, soft pink frill bedding and bows.

While the ultra-feminine aesthetic isn’t for everyone, if you are a fan of frilled, cherry-printed and playful designs, this may just be the perfect way to give your bedroom or bathroom a dreamy, romantic refresh.

Read on for our pick of the best dainty decor pieces to shop now, from soap dishes to bed sheets.
