Neutral & Natural | Target Spring Modern Home Decor 2020 Roundup

Lately I’ve been gravitating more and more to neutral, textured, and natural interiors. It happens post-holidays every year, a reaction to all of the color and glitz, but nowadays, these neutrals have a lot more staying power for me than they used to.

The weather is another factor that’s gotten me thinking about a neutral and natural spring refresh. It’s been so warm here in Napa lately, 80 degrees today! So it feels like spring is springing, even though we’ll no doubt get more chilly weather.

Regardless, it got me in the mood to look at what Target is offering new for spring home decor, and as I think many of us have noticed the past few years, there’s a lot to like!
