Waiting for spring to arrive can be challenging, especially if you live in a colder climate. Sometimes, it feels like winter will never end. But there are plenty of ways to welcome the season into your home with simple layers of color and fresh decor touches. Here are ten easy ways to refresh your space and usher in spring effortlessly.
Nests
Nests are a charming way to introduce a natural element into your decor. Whether layered atop feathery greens, placed under a glass cloche, or arranged on a mantel, their simplicity adds a fresh, organic touch. Add a bit of moss and tiny decorative eggs to complete the look.
Birds
Incorporate glass or ironstone bird figurines into your decor. Pair them with shredded craft paper, moss, or even a small nest to enhance their visual appeal. These delicate accents bring an airy, springtime feel to any space.
Moss-Covered Eggs
Moss-coated eggs make beautiful decorative elements, whether arranged in a bowl, tucked into a wreath, or displayed in a twig nest. Their soft texture and natural green hue blend seamlessly with any spring-inspired decor.
Bunnies
Bunnies, tiny chicks, and pastel-colored eggs are synonymous with spring. If you’re short on storage space, opt for smaller figurines and layer them with other seasonal accents. A small iron bunny, for instance, is a subtle yet adorable nod to spring.
Dishes, Vases, and Glassware
You don’t need a collection of seasonal decor to make an impact. A few well-placed items, like a bunny plate or a pastel dish, can bring a festive touch to your home. Stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Joanne’s, and Amazon offer plenty of affordable options.
Table Vignettes or Centerpieces
Gather spring essentials—birds, nests, eggs—and arrange them in a tray for a beautiful vignette. This centerpiece works well on dining tables, coffee tables, entryway consoles, or even inside a hutch.
Front Door Decor
Welcome guests with a charming seasonal display on your front door. A small twig and chicken wire basket filled with moss and a ready-made bouquet is an easy, eye-catching solution. Simply tuck some sheet moss into the wire basket and place a flower posy in your preferred colors for a fresh and inviting look.
Flowering Branches
If you have fruit trees, you can force branches to bloom indoors. Place trimmed branches in water, and within days, you’ll have beautiful blossoms. Alternatively, mix faux and real branches in a tall vase or metal bucket for a similar effect. Adding rocks and moss at the base of a clear glass vase enhances the natural aesthetic.
Pillows
Switching out pillows is one of the easiest ways to refresh your home for spring. Choose designs with seasonal motifs or mix solid and patterned pillows for a vibrant look.
Pictures and Plaques
Decorate your walls, shelves, or hutches with spring-inspired pictures or plaques. You can purchase them or get creative and make your own, like a DIY bird motif print.
Final Touches
By incorporating even just one or two of these simple ideas, you can bring the freshness of spring into your home. Personally, I always include bird nests, tiny eggs, and natural branches. This year, I’m also adding a handmade burlap bird picture!
