I know what you’re thinking right now. And I don’t blame you–it’s too early to be talking about spring decor. It’s only February 5th for heavens sake! And the high in Colorado yesterday was a whopping 18 DEGREES. But I can’t help it. I’m craving spring and already dreaming about summer. I know some of you are probably feeling the same way, so I thought it might be fun to chat about simple ways to transition from winter to spring decor in your home. I have a few tips that will help bring new life to your home for the coming spring season!
Add Fresh Flowers
One of the easiest ways to start transitioning from winter to spring decor in your home is to add fresh flowers! I got the flowers on our table from the grocery store and they add the perfect pop of cheer to the breakfast nook. And best of all–I found them on clearance for super cheap! I always check for marked down or clearance flowers before buying anything at full price. And if you don’t want to spend money on fresh flowers, there are tons of great faux options too!
Rearrange Your Furniture For a New Look
If your home is feeling dull and boring with the gloomy days of winter, try re-arranging your furniture to mix things up for spring. Move a chair, cabinet, or even a sofa from one room to another to get a brand new look. I absolutely LOVE doing this to help bring some new life to the house and it doesn’t cost a dime!
Add New + Inspiring Artwork
One of the best ways to give your home new life for spring is to add inspirational artwork. I know this isn’t the typical spring decor tip, but I feel like spring brings an awakening in our hearts and minds, so why not carry that into our home decor? Every spring I feel a renewed sense of energy and I think adding in artwork that gives inspiration for the year ahead is a great thing to do in our homes! I just got this new wooden sign for our dining room and I LOVE it. The quote is from Laura Ingalls Wilder: “The real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.”
Here are a few similar signs I found on Etsy:
Add Potted Greenery
Ok, this one is probably obvious, but one of the fastest ways to transition from winter to spring decor in your home is with lots of faux greenery! Actually, real greenery is great too, but you know I love these little faux plants so much. I picked these up from Target the other day (they’re only FIVE BUCKS EACH!) and I love having them in this tray on our kitchen counter. They instantly give a spring-y, fresh vibe to the entire room. I say put them everywhere!
Remove the Extra Stuff
My last tip is to simply remove all the extra “stuff” from your home. Go through each room with a box and declutter your little heart out. I always enjoy doing this before spring and I think it’s a great way to just let your home breathe a little. Plus it clears up space and gives everything a lighter, airy feel, which is exactly what we want for spring.
Well I hope you enjoyed these easy peasy tips for getting a new, fresh vibe in your home for spring! Like I said earlier, I know we’re still a ways off, but I say go for it if you’re ready. I mean, it’s your home anyway, so why not do what makes you happy, right? Right. Ok, I’m off to buy more flowers. Toodles! xo
Like you I’m ready for spring too. Thank-you for all of your inspiring ideas to brighten up our homes on these cold winter days.
I love winter decor, but I am ready to put it away for the season. Bring on warmer days!! 🙂
yes yes yes!!!!
Hi there, just wondering where did you get your black sign with the Laura Ingalls quote on it? Thank
I got that from a local shop!
I frequently check your posts and use them for inspiration. Today’s Laura Ingles Wilder quote was spot on for the times we are in. Thank you for highlighting it!
Our winters where I live are constant rain and mud. I have decorated early for spring, and it is exactly the mood boost needed with all the gray skies here. I got a like-new leather chair with ottoman (from a thrift store), and that has replaced an old chair. I got nice fake flowers for the dining table, too. Your post is very timely!
Oh that’s awesome, Tracie! I love a good thrift store find!
Love it; I bought a ton of flowers this past week at Trader Joe’s so there are flowers in all rooms; I use the time change to always switch furniture and artwork.
Ah perfect! You can never have too many flowers!
Beautiful winter decor. Thank You. Waiting for summer tips.
I am excited for this spring also, going to snow here in Iowa again, but I truly don’t mind…I’ll bake this weekend and decorate with some flowers and candles..love your colors! Happy day to you!
Ah good plan, Jena! We have a huge snowstorm going right now so baking sounds like a great idea!
Love the grand fresh ideas
thanks Wanda!
Love the black bench…where did you buy it..I would love it in white
Have a blessed day,
Love your blog friend,
Tammy
I just went back to your post today to see the ottomans…I saw at the bottom the link to the bench. It isn’t sold in white. I will keep looking because now I have to have it.
Tammy
It’s from Target!! And I think it’s only sold in black and an oak color. You could always try painting it!
Loving the black sign in your dining room!! Could I ask where you purchased that?? Thank you!!
I got it from a local shop!
Thank you (again) for your post and suggestions! YES! to needing spring and wanting a decor change to help. I was headed to your blog for inspirations so this was timely! Thanks for the ideas!
Of course, Denise!! I’m so ready for spring. It’s currently snowing like crazy right now. Ah!
I would like to buy the darling, black Laura Ingalls Wilder sign …. can you help me know where I could get it? Thank you!
Love the sign in your dining room, and I see that it’s from a local shop – is there anything else you can share about it? Is there a manufacturer or was it handmade? I’ve been looking for this exact quote for in my studio! Thanks!
I love getting ready for spring! Where did you get the vase and stems on your dining room table? I’m obsessed!
Your idea about buying only sale flowers sucks.
The temps may be single digits but my mind is sunny & 75!!! I just cant wait to add a little Spring to my home too. Love these tips, especially the de-clutter tip. I need to get started:)
