Spring is here and I am READY for it! There is something about the long winter months that makes me crave color, flowers, and ALL things Spring around my home when it finally comes around!

Even if you don’t want to invest in many seasonal decorations that don’t get used often, you can make some simple changes around your home to refresh things without spending much time or money!

Today I’m walking you through my favorite simple ways to decorate your home for Spring!

Freshen Up with Flowers & Greenery

Spring is ALL about flowers and greenery and that is simply the best way to make your home instantly feel like spring! Even if it is too early to find real flowers and plants, you can get the same effect with faux!

Here are some easy tips for quickly incorporating florals and greenery throughout your home:

• Use grocery store bouquets (Trader Joe’s are GREAT!) and split them into smaller arrangements around your home.
• Swap out winter greenery for faux or fresh spring stems (think tulips, eucalyptus, or hydrangeas, and even moss!).
• Add a simple potted plant to your entryway or herbs on the kitchen counter.

Light & Airy Textiles

One easy way to make your home feel like spring is by swapping out the textiles around your home!

Here are quick and easy ways to refresh the textiles around your home for the Spring season!

• Swap out heavy blankets for lightweight throws in soft pastels or neutral tones.
• Change pillow covers to floral patterns, gingham, or soft linen textures.
• Add a simple table runner in a spring-inspired fabric, like muslin.
• Refresh your kitchen towels with something colorful and fresh.

Quick & Easy Spring Wreaths

Adding a wreath to your front door or around your home is a simple way to get ready for Spring!

It is SO easy to make your own wreath for Spring! Even if you just throw together an easy DIY wreath with faux flowers hot glued to a grapevine base.

There are so many ways to use wreaths! Here are a few of my favorites:

• Hang a simple greenery wreath on the front door. Obvious, but it is simple enough!
• Use a wreath indoors by hanging it on a mirror or vintage window.
• Put wreaths on the back of your dining chairs.

Budget-Friendly Spring Centerpieces

Centerpieces don’t get enough credit in my opinion! They are SO easy to create and swap out every season!

I am always creating new simple and easy centerpieces in our dining room, so it makes sense that this is one of my favorite Spring decorating ideas for the home!

Here are some simple Spring centerpiece ideas to try:

• Fill a bowl or tray with decorative eggs, moss, and candles.
• Use a glass vase with lemons, limes, or seasonal blooms for a bright touch.
• Lay fresh or faux greenery along the table, and accent with white pillar candles with faux carrots and small potted herb plants.
• Stack vintage books with a small vase and candle for a charming vignette.

Seasonal Wall & Shelf Updates

This can be one of the harder areas to swap out for the seasons because you have to either buy new seasonal wall decor or make some. However, adding a few Spring art pieces throughout your home makes a big difference!

Without getting “too” Spring or Easter focused, you can still use seasonal touches that could last you all year long! Like a landscape print with flowers on a hillside.

Here are some easy ways to switch up your shelf and wall decor for Spring:

• Swap out artwork for spring-inspired prints or printables.
• Style shelves with light-colored ceramics, woven baskets, and small floral touches.
• Lean a vintage-style mirror or frame for added charm.

Add in Subtle Easter Touches (Without Going Overboard)

Decorating for a holiday, like Easter, can go overboard real quick. Avoid buying a ton of trendy seasonal decorations that you only use a few weeks of the year.

Instead, incorporate a few timeless pieces with neutral colors so you can decorate for Easter without it looking like the aisles of Hobby Lobby have thrown up in your living room.

If you want to decorate for Easter in a subtle way, try one of these ideas:

• Use neutral-colored or wooden Easter decorations for a timeless look.
• Add a few ceramic bunnies or pastel candles to mantels or entry tables.
• Use neutral-colored Easter eggs around your home on shelves or in bowls on the counter.

Refresh Your Mantel for Spring

Don’t forget about your mantel for Spring! It is such a prominent spot in your home, so it deserves to get a little love for the seasons.

It doesn’t have to be complicated, just incorporate color and florals and you’re good!

Give your mantel and refresh for Spring with one of these tips:

• Swap out winter garlands for faux greenery or floral garlands.
• Layer a mirror or framed botanical print as a backdrop.
• Add candlesticks, small vases with fresh or faux flowers, and a few decorative accents.
• Keep it simple and balanced—less is more for a fresh, airy look.

Fresh Scents for a Spring Atmosphere

It is really easy to forget about JUST how much smells impact the feel of our home. You can make your home feel more like Spring by using fresh-scented candles or diffusing oils, like lavender and lemon.

Try some of these Spring smells in your home this season:

• Use a diffuser with citrus or floral essential oils.
• Swap out winter candles for fresh scents like lavender, linen, or fresh-cut grass.
• Simmer lemon slices and rosemary on the stove for a natural home fragrance.

Conclusion

• Spring decorating doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
• Small swaps can make a big impact with minimal effort.
• Pick a few ideas, have fun, and enjoy a refreshed home for the season!
