Spring has officially sprung, with the days becoming brighter and longer. A change in seasons often signals a fresh start, particularly if you're thinking about sprucing up your home.

DIY enthusiasts and experts suggest that spring is the perfect time to rejuvenate your home, whether that involves a fresh coat of paint, swapping out heavy and cosy soft furnishings for lighter alternatives, or undertaking a thorough spring clean. Kimberley from Girls Aloud recently sat down with DailyExpress.co.uk at the launch of her new paint collaboration with Wickes, to chat about all things home renovation and DIY.

The bedroom is a haven of tranquillity and rest, and its ambiance should relax you as you prepare for sleep. However, if you're unsure where to begin, DIY specialists from Wickes and Kimberley have shared their top paint choices for revamping your bedroom for the spring season, reports the Express.

Lewis Janes, Head of Decorating & Storage at Wickes, believes spring is the optimal season to refresh your home: “This time of year is perfect for bringing natural light into your interiors and making rooms feel more open. The right shades can lift the mood while enhancing the sense of space.”

Kimberley explained that people usually know which colours work best for them in their bedroom, especially when it comes to aiding sleep. To enhance a basic bedroom, she suggests adding panelling to provide depth and texture to the space.

She told us: "In my bedroom, I focus more on the panelling, and I made the feature that rather than a strong, bold colour. And that really works, it just elevates the space...

"There's the new acoustic panelling I did in my son's room. Those kinds of things can really bring the room to life, but still keep it quite earthly and tonal if you don't want to go too wild with colour."

Lewis highlighted Kimberley's latest interior paint Soft Honey (2.5l, £13) as an excellent choice to help brighten any bedroom. He described it as "a warm, uplifting yellow with honeyed undertones that reflects daylight beautifully, creating a cosy, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant space."

When creating the paint, Kimberley sought assistance from her son, Bobby, whose bedroom proudly showcases the cosy yellow shade.

Lewis explained that this gentle "clay hue" is ideal for those who prefer keeping their walls neutral. He described Wheatgrass (5l, £29) as "neutral yet inviting".

Shades of green can help your property welcome the spring season, bringing a sense of freshness and vitality from outdoors in. Lewis' recommendation for spring is the Sage No.85 (2.5l, £13).

He described the paint shade as bringing a "gentle, timeless pastel green to the room".

Moonlight Bay (2.5l, £20) is a subdued pastel blue, an ideal breath of fresh air for bedrooms come springtime. Lewis explained that the Crown paint "introduces a softness ideal for creating a calm, restful space."

Kimberley's new interior paint shade, Soft Honey, and new garden paint, Pale Clover, are now available to purchase at Wickes. Browse the Kimberley Walsh by Wickes collection here.
