April 14, 2022

Spring is the perfect season to refresh your living space with simple DIYs and easy home improvement projects. Longer days and warmer weather bring an energy and excitement you can channel into decorating, painting, thrifting, and rearranging your living space.

Ideal spring decor refreshes your home and creates a space that fuels productivity, rest, and time well-spent with others. Here are 10 simple springtime decor ideas you can use to transform the look of your home this season.

1. Indoor Plants

Nothing says springtime like greenery. When the outdoors start to green up, consider bringing plants inside as well. Plants create a sense of continuity between your home and its environment and can help you embrace the changing season.

Many indoor plants double as air purifiers, pulling toxins out of the air and emitting fresh oxygen instead. Pothos and snake plants are both excellent air purifiers and look beautiful in almost any setting. However, artificial plants can also boost your mood and beautify your home for spring.

2. Switch Out Rugs

Rugs make a huge difference in the overall feel of a space. During the winter, they add warmth to each room and protect your feet from the cold. As a design element, they can add color or work as a neutral background for bold furniture or artwork.

Switching the rugs in your home can completely transform it by changing the look and physical experience of a room. If you have hardwood or laminate flooring, you could consider packing the rug away until next winter. Decluttering items can make a space feel lighter.

3. Use Couch Covers

Another inexpensive fix, couch covers, also known as slipcovers, can change the look of a whole space without the expense of purchasing new furniture. Many people go lighter in the spring and summer by covering darker furniture with more neutral tones like white or light tan.

Couch covers are easy to take on and off and they’re relatively inexpensive. You can usually find matching sets for different pieces of furniture so your living space stays put-together-looking during this season. On the other hand, you can also combine neutral couch covers with bright accent seating.

4. Hang a Mirror

If you’ve been thinking about changing your wall decor, consider adding a mirror. Mirrors open up a space and bring more light in. This sense of fresh air and more light is perfect for spring and it can transform the feel of a whole space. Choose a frame that matches the style of the room.

The best size and shape for your mirror depends on the space. It’s usually best to hang mirrors at eye level and to ensure there’s enough surrounding wall to bring balance to the space. Although new mirrors can be expensive, you can find beautiful antique mirrors at thrift stores for much less.

5. Wallpaper an Accent Wall

Wallpapering or painting an accent wall is another simple springtime decor idea that upgrades the space. Accent walls change the focal point of a room and add interest. Some homeowners paint arched doorways or add architectural elements like scalloped trim to their paint job.

You can also consider painting your ceiling or using multiple colors within the same room. If you want to use several different paint colors, you should follow the 60-30-10 rule. This means the dominant color should cover 60% of a room and the secondary color should cover 30%. For the best effect, the accent color should only be used in 10% of the room.

[The Chinoiserie wallpaper example above is removable and reusable, allowing you the flexibility of moving it around, changing the look and swapping it during seasons. It only takes about 20 minutes to peel-and-press install one 52″ wide panel and even less time to remove and reuse. Painting takes longer to achieve but is more straightforward, however, permanent — until repainted.]

6. Add Window Boxes

Putting window boxes on your home can improve the curb appeal and give you a chance to develop your green thumb. Window boxes are inexpensive and you can build your own relatively easily. It’s important to seal the wood before use so they last a long time.

During the spring and summer, you can fill these boxes with colorful blooms and sweet grasses. Over the winter, the boxes can be removed and stored in a shed or your basement. Putting up window boxes is a lovely way to embrace the spring season and improve the external appearance of your home.

7.   Change Out Linens

Linens bring texture to a space and are part of the literal “feel” of your home. During the spring, consider changing out towels and curtains in your bathroom to brighten and refresh the space. Good colors for spring include white, green, or yellow.

In your bedroom, try swapping heavy winter blankets with lighter linens. Choose breathable materials like cotton and linen, and switch your pillow shams. If you have throw blankets, now is also a good time to change to lighter weaves and colors. New curtains can also refresh your space during this season.

8. Update Lighting

Brightening the inside of your home mimics the natural increase of sunshine outside during the summer months. During the winter, having candles and a flickering fire adds coziness. However, springtime calls for bright light throughout your home.

Adding to these simple springtime decor ideas, choose sheerer or shorter curtains to welcome in the sun during this time of year. You can brighten rooms that don’t have much natural sunlight by adding lamps or switching light bulb brands. Some light bulbs are specifically made to mimic natural lighting.

9. Repaint Cabinets & Furniture

If you feel like your furniture is shabby or too dark, why not try repainting it? It’s amazing how much a fresh coat of paint can change the feel and look of a room. Paint is very inexpensive compared to buying new items and can always be redone darker. Do be thoughtful about painting wood, as stripping it later could be very difficult.

You could also thrift old furniture pieces and then repaint them for a fresh finish. Some homeowners even repaint their kitchen cabinets for an inexpensive kitchen makeover. Although this is a lot of work, the results are well worth the time and effort.

10. Stage Your Porch

Cool spring weather is the perfect setting for updating your outdoor living space. If you have a patio or porch, take some time to declutter and wash off this space. If you wait until the summer, the hot weather can make outdoor projects like this very uncomfortable.

Next, stage your porch or patio with pots, furniture, and lighting. Depending on where you live, you may need to wait until the rain has passed before putting too many items outside. However, you can use the spring to plan how your outdoor space will look and serve your family this year.

Welcome Spring at Home

Changing decor every season prepares your mind and living space so you can enjoy each time of year. Springtime calls for fresh air, sunshine, light colors, and natural elements. You can brighten your home this season by combining many small projects that bring lightness and a sense of freshness to your home.

Use these 10 simple springtime decor tips to prepare your home for the spring. With the right design choices, you can create a space for daily living and resting that’s as new and refreshing as the season. These projects will bring spring inside, prepping you to enjoy summer and the rest of the year.
