Try out Style Transfer: Our experts are clear - one of the best ways to communicate what you like in interior design is with a picture. That’s why we created Style Transfer! This feature allows you to upload a photo of any design you like, and Vinci will infuse the style and colors into your space. To try it out, take a look through Pinterest and find a photo that best aligns with what spring means to you. Then, all you have to do is start a design session and click the button that says I want to upload a photo of a room I like and use its style.
Have a conversation with Vinci: If you’d rather explain in words what you’re looking for, try guiding Vinci with a design prompt! All you have to do is start a design session and tell him what you’re looking for, just like you would when chatting with a friend or an interior designer.
Prompt writing for spring designs
Not sure how to capture your spring style in a prompt? Here are some tips to get your creativity flowing:
Color themes: Think pastel, soft color palettes, and lighter neutrals.
Textiles and materials: Incorporate linen, light fabrics, and light wood accents.
Patterns: Play with floral and striped patterns to add a spring feel.
Natural elements: Include plenty of greenery and maximize natural light to bring the outdoors in.
Popular interior design styles for a spring refresh
Several design styles beautifully complement the freshness of spring. Try asking Vinci for a redesign using one of the following styles. You can even copy and paste parts of these descriptions into Vinci’s chat box!
Coastal
Coastal design feels like a breezy beachside retreat in your living room. It's characterized by light, airy color palettes - think shades of blue, soft grays, and warm sands. Natural light is a key element, with soft, white-washed wood tones and organic textures like jute and rattan. Furniture is often minimalist to promote a sense of calm and openness. Accent with sea-inspired decor like shells or coastal artwork for a twist on a spring design.

Cottagecore
Cottagecore oozes idyllic countryside charm, perfect for a cozier take on spring. This style features floral patterns, vintage furniture, and an abundance of soft, layered textiles like quilts and lace. Colors are muted, drawing on earthy tones mixed with pastel greens, pinks, and yellows. Handmade and artisanal elements such as pottery, woven baskets, and hand-sewn pillows showcase simpler times. Incorporate indoor plants and herbal pots for a spring feel.

Preppy
Preppy interior design is all about crisp, clean lines combined with bold, vibrant colors and patterns. Classic stripes and chevrons, along with nautical themes, are staples of this look. The color palette often includes navy blue, emerald green, and pops of pastels to brighten the space. Furniture pieces are traditional but with a youthful twist - think tufted armchairs in bright colors or lacquered wood desks. Accessories like monogrammed pillows and tailored drapery add a sophisticated touch that is perfect for a spring refresh.

English Country
If you like warm and inviting, you might want to try out English Country. Colors are often rooted in floral and botanical patterns, using a range of muted greens, soft creams, and rose pinks. Furniture is plush and ornate - think rich fabrics like velvet or brocade. Key elements include book-filled wooden shelves, traditional oil paintings, and layered rugs, creating a sense of lived-in elegance. To bring in spring, incorporate fresh flowers in classic porcelain vases.

French Country
French Country blends rustic charm with an old-world feel. A soft, muted color palette of lavender, sage, and butter yellow pairs well with this style. Architectural details might include exposed wood beams and stone walls, while furniture often includes graceful curves and weathered finishes. Fabrics are typically linen or toile, with provincial patterns like gingham or floral. To highlight spring, use light, flowing curtains, plenty of fresh greenery, and open windows to blend indoor comfort with the allure of the French countryside.
