Spring Decor Ideas to Refresh Your Space This Season

If you’re like me, winter tends to get to you. When spring comes, I long to spend more time outdoors (without being bundled up to my eyes in layers), I long for more social outings, and I can’t wait to open the windows and welcome some fresh air into my home.

Perhaps you, my friend, are feeling the same. Perhaps you, too, are longing for seasonal change: within yourself, your relationships, your routines, and your home. Now that the month of April is underway, it’s no wonder you’re feeling its pull.

Today I’m sharing eight quick and easy spring decorating ideas that will give your home a seasonal fresh feel.

The name of the game here is budget-friendly, with some ideas requiring a minimal budget and others simply requiring a little creativity. Go ahead and try one or two of them for yourself!

1. Change a couple of textiles.

Switching up a textile or two is one way to make a difference as we move into spring, both in terms of visual change and increased comfort in warmer weather.

Lighter fabrics like linen and cotton will be your friends in spring and summer, and there’s no shortage of ideas on how to update your textiles accordingly. Here are a couple of suggestions:

2. Say it with me: Add plants!

Ah, plants. We love them here at W&D, both for their appearance and for the joy and stress relief that comes from watching them bloom. Spring marks the beginning of the growing season for these indoor beauties, so I’d say this is also an ideal time to add another plant friend (or a few) to your home.

If you’re already at max plants, consider giving your current brood an upgrade by changing your location within your home (depending on your lighting needs of course) or transplant them into a new potif they are looking for new land and a little extra room to grow.

3. Change your rug(s).

A rug can change the entire look of your room in the way it frames and grounds a space. While I would by no means suggest that you replace every rug in your home with the change of each season, there are a couple of ways you can use rugs to make an impact as we head into spring:

• Change the rugs from one room to another, trying the living room rug in the bedroom and vice versa. There is no financial commitment required here, just a few drops of sweat that will likely accumulate from all that moving furniture.
• If you have a patterned rug in a space and long for something simpler, spring might be an opportune time to replace it with a versatile, neutral option like a sisal or jute rug. Kate has and loves this sisal rug!
• Consider removing the carpet completely for the warmer months ahead. (You can always bring it back if you change your mind!) Or, if you have layered rugs in a particular room, consider removing the top rug and letting the bottom one shine on its own.

4. Add a piece of art.

While there are certainly No If you need to change up every piece of art you own with the change of seasons, there’s also nothing wrong with bringing in a new piece that reminds you of spring. Whether it’s a piece you purchase from a local artist, purchase secondhand at a thrift store or Marketplace, or make it yourself, there are many ways to bring new visual appeal to your walls.

If you bring this new art, might I suggest hanging it in a place you pass by frequently as you go about your daily routines? That way you will enjoy it to the fullest.

5. Renew your entry.

As the seasons change, especially for those of us who live in places with four distinct seasons, so do our input needs. Coat racks become less necessary for hanging bulky winter clothing, thick doormats are no longer necessary for collecting salty, snowy boots when we walk in the door, and bins for collecting hats and mittens become less crucial.

There’s no need to store these winter remnants in your entryway all spring and summer. Instead, put away your winter coats and accessories (out of sight, out of mind) and replace them with lighter jackets, baseball caps, and an umbrella or two for the inevitable rainy days ahead. Also save the thick doormat and consider replacing it with a thinner decorative rug (if that’s your thing and in your budget).

6. Bring a colorful decorative piece.

While winter may be known for its moody, jewel-toned colors, spring is known for pastels and the following summer months for their bright, colorful accents. Even if you’re a lover of neutrals at heart, consider adding a small pop of color on a decorative piece like a pillowcase, lamp, vase or glassware set for daily use.

7. Add some flowers to the mix.

You knew I wasn’t going to mention spring decorating or talk about flowersgood? Good. Flowers are meant to bloom like peanut butter is jelly, and I, for one, wouldn’t have it any other way.

There are a couple of tried and true ways to bring these beauties into your home, and I can assure you that it doesn’t have to be an expensive undertaking if you don’t want to.

• Try putting together your own arrangement. There’s no right or wrong way to do it, but remember that variety is your friend here! Play with different heights, floral varieties, and fillers until you create something you like.
• Do you want more longevity from your flowers? I hear you. If that’s the case, consider dried flowers your friends. Buy them online from a store like Afloral either Dry them yourself with ease.
• Support a local florist by giving yourself a flower delivery. Apricot flowers It’s one of our local favorites!

8. Don’t buy anything new! Instead, move some decor pieces from one location to another.

I live in the land of budget-conscious purchasing decisions, as I assume many of you do too. And while I’m happy to bring in new pieces from time to time, I can safely say that decor doesn’t always fit my budget in any given month. Enter: the world of reorganization.

Move an existing piece of art from one room to another. Take a lamp that normally resides in your living room and move it to your bedroom for a change. Try placing a stack of books in a new place for you, either on a different piece of furniture or on the floor with a plant on top.

Even if nothing else on this list seems right for your home, I encourage you to try this last idea. And whatever you do, enjoy with the rearrangement process. Sometimes a slight change in positioning provides the updated perspective we were looking for all along.
