Every year when springtime arrives, we’re excited about the sunshine and the warm-weather fun to come. We start planning our spring break vacations, knocking out our spring cleaning tasks, and refreshing our homes with the best spring decor ideas to celebrate the season. Springtime usually means more color, floral patterns, and whimsical details, and there are so many ways to bring these elements into our space.

And it’s easy to prep our home decor for the season without much effort at all. In fact, decorating for spring could be as simple as putting fresh flowers in a pretty vase, hanging a wreath on the front door, or switching out your throw pillow covers. You could also upgrade your everyday essentials like table linens and dinnerware with more spring-forward options. Of course, there are also plenty of ideas for a maximalist approach if you want to inject spring into every corner! No matter how much or how little you’d like to decorate, a nod to the April showers and May flowers will go a long way in making your home feel warm and welcoming.

Simple Ways to Celebrate Spring


  • Embrace Nature: Celebrate the season by bringing the beauty of nature inside. The flowers are starting to bloom, and color is coming back into the world around us. Mimic what you see outside by positioning plants, faux or fresh flowers, and nature-inspired patterns into your interior.
  • Go for Breathable Fabrics: Spring usually means warmer weather is on the horizon, and gone are the days of needing flannel sheets or heavy faux fur blankets and pillows. Store these items away for when wintertime rolls back around, and instead, swap in more lightweight, breathable fabrics like waffle knit throw blankets, linen pillow covers, or cotton sheets.
  • Incorporate Pastels: The season is pretty much synonymous with pastels. As we ease out of winter’s moody hues, we inch more toward summer’s vibrant color palette. Transitioning from a major season (winter) to a minor season (spring) can be gradual, so pop in some pastels throughout your decor to ease you out of wintertime.
  • Refresh Small Spaces: Decorating for spring doesn’t have to mean redecorating every space in your home! Simple touches go a long way. Swap out the throw pillows on the sofa, layer in a spring-inspired tablecloth, and incorporate more spring-forward serving platters into your hosting routine. They’re subtle changes, but they make a difference.
  • Make an Impact in the Entryway: Your entryway is the first thing people see when they come over. Make it feel welcoming for them and for spring with a pretty wreath, a washable entryway rug (rainy season will be here soon!), a lush flower bed, or even a pastel striped cushion on the porch swing.
