There’s a moment every year—usually sometime between the first warm breeze and the first proper sneeze—when you just know:

Spring is here.

It’s not just the change in weather. It’s a shift in us.

We crave lightness. We throw open windows. We eye our winter wardrobe with suspicion. We start ridiculous spring cleaning lists. We suddenly feel the urge to organise our entire life—or at least that one kitchen drawer.

And outside? Nature puts on a show.

Magnolias preen, tulips stand tall, and suddenly—Laburnum (Goldregen) explodes into golden waterfalls of blossoms. Breathtaking, bold, unapologetically yellow.

But here’s the twist: never bring Laburnum indoors.

Yes, really. There’s an old saying that Goldregen in the house brings bad luck. Whether it’s superstition, the plant’s toxicity, or just interior design intuition—we say: leave the drama outside.

Bring in the Light—Safely

If you want to bring spring indoors, here’s a gentler (and luckier) alternative:

daffodils. Cheerful, non-toxic, and bursting with sunshine vibes, they’re the perfect way to brighten up a room without upsetting any old spirits (or Mr. Grumpy).

Here’s how I welcome spring at home:

• Fresh daffodils on the table

• A new playlist that sounds like morning light

• One corner decluttered (because let’s be real, not the whole house)

• A deep breath and the decision to do less, not more

Because spring isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about softening, unfurling, making room for joy (and maybe a new cushion or two).

So yes to yellow. Yes to fresh starts. And yes to leaving the Goldregen where it blooms best—outside, in the sunshine.
