Ways to Bring Spring into Your Home:

It doesn’t have to cost a ton to add a bit of spring cheer to your home.  Here are some simple ideas to try…

Bring in Spring with Flowers and Greenery:

Add some life to your rooms…

During this time of year, everything is blooming and the stores are filled with all kinds of beautiful spring flowers.  Every year, I love adding colorful bouquets around the house.  For example, I wrote a blog post about Ways to Decorate with Tulips!

Most of the time, I purchase my flowers at the grocery store.  First, I start with a large bouquet and I put them in a pretty vase.  As time goes on, I pull out the ones that are dying off, cut down the rest and place them in a smaller vase.  Basically, I keep doing this until the vases get smaller and smaller.  That way, I get the most out of one bouquet.

Here are some plants that capture the feeling of spring…

• Ferns
• Tulips
• Hyacinths
• Potted herbs

Bring Spring into Your Home with Spring Vignettes:

Sprinkle some spring cheer around your home…

Buying flowers also gives me an excuse to create some new vignettes.  Usually, I find it easiest to start with a tray like the one above and then just fill it with some pretty seasonal items.  To make my kitchen feel more inviting, I like to add some spring decor on the middle of the kitchen island.

Also, you might have noticed my cute shamrock plant…

For some reason my “shamrock” plant, otherwise known as oxalis is doing really well.  Why am I surprised?  Well I don’t exactly have a green thumb!  Originally, I displayed the plant in my dining room when I was decorating with green.

Since I was decorating for St. Patrick’s Day, I thought a shamrock plant would be perfect to add to my bar cart.  Then I noticed it was drooping so I moved it to the kitchen window as you saw above.  Well, from what I have learned, the oxalis plant (aka shamrock) actually droops at night and perks up during the day.  Who knew?  Not me of course, but I have realized it is thriving now that I moved it to the kitchen window.  Apparently, it prefers a sunnier location.

Each season, I love changing the vignette in my kitchen corner.  Simply by changing the dish to something springy and adding some flowers and greenery gives the spot a fresh new look.  I frequently mix live flowers with faux greenery.  Like I said, I don’t have a green thumb so I don’t need the pressure of keeping too many things alive at once!

It’s hard enough just keeping tulips looking fresh.  Apparently, adding a penny to the water to make them last longer.  Overall, I think it helps but other types of flowers definitely last longer than tulips.  To see more, read – Spring Decor with Tulips and Bunnies.

For me, mixing in faux plants makes life so much easier.  Even though I don’t have too many Easter-specific decorations, a simple bunny above the stove will take us from spring right into Easter!

More great places to display your spring vignettes…

• On your nightstand
• Bathroom counters
• Open shelving
• Dining table centerpiece
• Window sills

Bring Spring to Your Table:

One of my favorite ways to decorate for spring is with a table setting..

When I set my simple spring tablescape with flowers, I had spring gardens on my mind.  From the galvanized containers to the window pane mirror, I wanted to give a gardening vibe to my table.

Once again, I mixed some artificial greenery in next to the flower arrangement.  Yes, the flowers are real – and I bought them all at the grocery store.  When decorating a tablescape, I rarely splurge on expensive flowers.  In my backyard, I also have a bunch of flower bushes (including hydrangeas) that bloom throughout the spring and summer.  If you want to see some other ways I’ve decorated with hydrangeas, read – 7 Ways to Decorate with Hydrangeas.

For a super-simple spring table setting, here’s another option…

In this case, I actually decorated a counter setting for two.  When you bring spring into your home, it’s always great to find ways to keep it simple!

Simple ways to add spring to your table setting…

• Layer light colored linens
• Use white dishes with woven placemats
• Incorporate fresh flowers in pretty white pitchers

Change Your Throw Pillows for a Spring Refresh:

Swap out winter textiles for spring fabrics…

Changing throw pillows are a quick and easy way to update the family room for spring.  Since many of my pillows have zip off covers, I don’t have to worry about storing a huge pile of pillows either!

Ideas for spring pillows…

• Choose soft greens or blues
• Classic blue and white 
• Add subtle florals or botanical patterns
• Replace heavy fabrics with lighter cotton or linen

Bring Spring to Your Front Door with Flowers:

Welcome guests with spring style…

When you add spring to your home, don’t forget the front door or front porch.  In the past, I have used simple forsythia wreaths, baskets and this tin hanger filled with faux tulips.  Either way, it’s nice to have a spring welcome to our home.  For more spring door ideas, read – Spring Door Decor!

Open the Windows and Feel the Breeze this Spring!

Embrace the fresh air…

In my opinion, there is nothing that says “welcome spring” more than a fresh breeze through the open windows…and it doesn’t cost a thing!  So, enjoy that fresh air…unless you have spring allergies!

Other window tips for spring…

• Wash your windows for an instant refresh
• Swap out heaving curtains for lighter or sheer curtain panels
