After spring cleaning leaves home environments feeling fresh, the top April 2016 home ideas will impart inspiration for the rest of the year ahead.
Tables, chairs and other furniture pieces may be fixtures of the home, but a number of designers are reimagining them in bold new ways. Notable examples include seating systems that take cues from a saddle, tables that trick the eye into thinking they're tipping and chairs made from colorful recycled plastic bottles.
Other than built-ins and furniture, other ways that homeowners and renters are bringing new life into familiar spaces in a more temporary fashion is with subscription services. Services like Linen Crate, Unclutterer and Box of Chic give access to a fresh supply of decor pieces, tidying tips and more.
