Spring has sprung at Crate & Barrel; the home furniture and decor giant has unfurled its spring 2012 line, and it doesn’t disappoint with its timeless simplicity and quality. Above, we get a glimpse at its new outdoor furniture collection, with a wide array of teak and metal patio chairs and accessories taking cues from Mission and Shaker silhouettes with the added comfort of soft, durable cushions.
C&B’s sunny new series extends indoors as well, with a bright array of kitchen textiles ranging from aprons and place mats to tablecloths and dishtowels, all in zesty shades of teal, sky blue, lemon yellow and lime green:
The Marimekko Pippurikera Wisteria shower curtain and several counterparts bring a breath of fresh air into the bathroom, lightening things up with its playful botanical print and ethereal white fabric:
And if this spring and summer prove to be such a time of renewal that a few new touches here and there just won’t do, there’s the latest in upholstery and form at C&B’s furniture shop, including this Klyne two-piece sectional, available in a wide array of neutrals and saturated spring colors like this bold violet hue:
Spring cleaning takes on a whole new meaning with chic, understated offerings like these; a scrub and a sweep may be just the beginning of a much larger overhaul, clearing the way for fresh new pieces and sunny color treatments to usher in the season ahead. The dog days of summer will be upon us in no time, and while we wait, a little style update couldn’t hurt.
