9 Best Spring Decorating Ideas

I’m sharing the best spring decorating ideas to spruce your home up for warmer months! Everything from art to blankets, wreaths to table decor, I’ve covered it all!

As the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, it’s the perfect time to start decorating for spring! There are so many ways to make your home feel cozy and inviting for the new season.

One of my favorite ways to add a touch of spring is to decorate my fireplace mantel with a few fresh and colorful pieces. I like to add a few vases filled with fresh blooms and some simple spring-inspired decorations, like a few faux eggs and a bunny figurine.

I also like to add a few candles and lanterns to give the room a warm and inviting glow. With a few simple spring touches, you can easily make your home feel like the perfect cozy oasis this season.

The Best Spring Decorating Ideas

Spring is a perfect time to freshen up your home decor for the season. There are a variety of ways to decorate your home for the spring season. A great way to start is to swap out your heavy winter fabrics with lighter, brighter fabrics in a variety of colors and patterns.

Adding some fresh flowers is also a great way to bring a little bit of life into the home. Natural materials like wood and rattan can also be used to add texture and warmth to the home. If you’re looking for a more subtle approach, try changing out your throw pillows and adding some outdoor plants in terracotta pots.

Finally, adding a few bright touches like colored glass vases or a bright throw rug can really make your space come alive. With these simple updates, you can quickly and easily create a fresh, inviting space for the spring season.

1. Dress up the Mantel

Adding spring touches to your mantel space is easy, whether you have a Frame TV or not. If you are like me and have a Frame TV, then it’s even more fun to customize your mantel space. You can easily change out the art with something more spring-like, such as a colorful painting or a photograph of a beautiful flower arrangement. You can also add some small potted plants or some lovely spring-scented candles to add a touch of spring to the mantel. The possibilities are endless and all you need to do is use your imagination to create the perfect spring-inspired mantel.

This year I decided to add some updated touches to my home decor. I bought some pretty blue and white ginger jars and added a set of matching double boxwood topiaries to them. The topiaries added a classic and timeless touch to the jars and brought a little bit of spring into the room. I also added some faux spring stems in a vase to complete the look. The combination of the two was beautiful and made the room feel like a breath of fresh air.

Side note: I knew I wanted blue and white vases with boxwood topiaries and I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, so I created it! I cut the boxwood topiaries out of the containers they came in and put floral foam in the ginger jars to keep them straight. ????

If you don’t have a TV over your mantel, you can still add some life and color for spring. To create a beautiful focal point, find a big piece like a large mirror, artwork, or even a basket to hang. Then, you can add in other spring decor items like potted plants and flowers, colorful candles, or garlands. Play around with the arrangement until you get the look you’re going for. Decorating a mantel without a TV can be a fun and creative project to bring some freshness and life to your space this season.

2. Change out the Front Door Wreath

Obviously a great place to add a pop of color and pretty is to the front door. I have a simple spring wreath I made years ago and I still put it on the front door every spring. I love how the pink pops off the black front door. And It just makes the front porch look so much more cheery.

I also have a few potted plants around the front porch that I like to switch out each season. This spring, I added a few bright red geraniums and they look so beautiful in the sun. I love to add a few colorful solar lights too, so the front porch looks cozy and inviting when it’s dark.

I also change out my faux greenery topiaries that flank my front door. In the fall and winter I have cypress topiaries and in the spring and summer I use brighter green jasper topiaries.

How to Add Curb Appeal to Your Home

Adding curb appeal to your home can be a great way to spruce up the exterior of your house and increase its value. Start by taking a look at your landscaping and making sure any plants and trees are well-maintained.

3. Add a Light and Airy Throw Blanket to the Back of the Sofa

If you have a sofa in the middle of a room, adding a colorful blanket to the back of the couch is a great way to add some interest and color! I don’t love that you can see the back of the sofa from the front door, so I like to dress it up with a pretty throw blanket.

Think pink windowpane blanket is soft, pretty and adds a focal point besides the back of my couch. (Nevermind the back corner of the sofa that needs to be steamed. ????)

4. Change Out Your Art

I’ve always been a proponent of changing out art seasonally. It’s an easy way to decorate for the spring season and can be done on any budget! Everything from free printable art to changing out art canvases, it’s a fun way to celebrate warmer months!

And then in the doorway from the kitchen to the living room, I have these inexpensive frames filled with printable art. I change them out for the seasons, always!

I bought art prints these as digital printable, but now they are only sold as shipped prints:

5. Add A Floral Arrangement or Faux Stems

Liven up your home for spring with real or faux plants and flowers. I have a stash of spring faux stems that I like to reuse every year, but it’s also fun to grab a fresh bouquet, too!

It’s easy to add faux or fresh flowers throughout your home: on a night stand, a coffee table, side buffet, kitchen table or mantel. The locations are endless!

I’ve had these faux dogwood stems for years and love to bring them out each spring. The console table behind the sofa is the perfect landing spot in this house!

6. Add Greenery to the Coffee Table (or any surface!)

This is a no-brainer, but spring shouts greenery! I love adding some stems to a vase or a potted plant to the coffee table.

7. Bring in Color for Spring Decorating Ideas

I think of blush, light blue and green as beautiful spring colors. So, find ways to incorporate them in fabrics, flowers and art!

8. Create a Beautiful Table

Nothing is cuter when it comes to spring decorating ideas than a bunny plate, pink glasses or a faux bird’s nest in the middle of each plate. Even if you don’t want to overhaul your whole dinnerware collection, a cute little accent bowl is a perfect touch!

And the dining room doesn’t have to look like Easter bunnies and birds landed in there, just a few simple touches of spring will be plenty!

9. Add Texture with Natural or Woven Materials

Rattan and seagrass are a year ’round staple in my home, but it’s always fun to bring out more woven baskets, vases and other decor in the spring months. Something about the light wood tones make it feel more like spring!

Those are my best spring decorating ideas! I hope you find it inspiring and find a few fun ways to add some color and beauty to your home this season.
