Can’t wait for the spring and summer vibes? Well, maybe it’s about time you introduce some spring decor elements into your home. Not only will you beat back the cold weather of winter (figuratively), but you will make your interior and exterior truly pop (literally)! But why rush into spring decor ideas?

Well, spring is just around the corner. Since the season of rebirth is just three months long, you might want to make the most of it. Spring decor allows you to enjoy the essence of this season anytime and anywhere you want. 

If you’re done with the spring cleaning checklist, all that is left now is to introduce some decorations. Get your home ready with the 34 spring decor ideas we present below. And if you feel like the ideas are too restraining, create your own perfect spring decorations by drawing inspiration from ours.

    Bring Spring Home

    When coldness sets in, you want to stay at the house as much as you want. For this reason, it would be wise to freshen up the interior first. It’s where your home decor ideas can go as wild as you want — without anyone judging you.

    Prepare a Spring Table

    Celebrate spring by creating a table with greenery and nature involved in it. Instead of a whole feast, put a plant in the middle of a table and let spring thrive in your dining room.

    Have a Flower Room

    Flowers! It’s an important element of spring. So, why not dedicate a whole room where you can arrange pots and flowers? However, if you don’t have a whole room to spare, dedicate just enough space to move around the plants freely.

    Redecorate Your Mantel

    At Bored Panda, we know how creative you can be with fireplace mantel ideas. So, why not use some spring mantel decor ideas while you’re at it? Add some plants and falling flowers to make the spot more cozy.

    Make the Living Room Cozier

    Besides the bedroom, the living room might be the most important place in the house. Bring those spring vibes by including as much greenery as you want. Just make sure not to overflow the space with plants (unless you want to, of course).

    Reorganize Your Kitchen

    A great way to add more spring to your kitchen? Reorganize it. Change up the locations of your things, pots, and utensils. Consider changing up your kitchen island design for a quick kitchen refresh. Maybe add some spice or herb plants on the countertop for those quick flavors? A spring home decor idea like this will spice up your food and the atmosphere.

    More Pictures on the Walls

    A popular spring idea is to add more vibrant pictures! These pictures can vary in their subjects. Miss the nature aspect of the season? Hang some pictures of trees and beautiful landscapes. Miss your family? Hang some family portraits.

    Softer Furniture for the Win

    Time to visit IKEA! If you have the budget to spare, why not invest in softer furniture? Pillows, cushions, and everything that feels nice and comfy are viable for your spring-orientated design. Just make sure to invest in quality products.

    Use Books as Decorations

    Not everyone finds reading interesting, but books sure can make your living space more lively. If you lack the budget to buy new accessories to decorate your mantel — place some books instead. And, if any of your guests want to read one, your spring decor will also be practical. 

    Eggs!

    Love or hate them — eggs and spring go together like ice cream and summer. However, don’t rush to the local farmers market to buy eggs just yet. Go for paper eggs instead. You can make them from white or colored paper. And then it gets closer to Easter, swap them for the real ones!

    Add a New Coat of Paint

    Invest in a paint can or two to freshen up the walls or old wooden furniture. Best colors? Go for something colorful. After all, the season of greenery is about the emergence of bright colors. 

    Wallpaper in Your Bedroom

    However, if you don’t want to go with paint and want an easier solution, go for a removable wallpaper instead. We suggested going with a wallpaper design that has flowers on it. The more colorful they are — the more spring-like your room will look.

    Add a Wall Mural

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Instead of going with wallpaper or single-colored walls, consider adding a wall mural or painting one yourself. You can make it as complex as you want and as colorful, too. However, before you start, make sure to cover your furniture with drop cloths or plastic sheeting to protect it from paint splatters. 

    A Spring Display in the Living Room

    Display spring elements in a well-arranged and colorful showcase in your living room. Pick a place you want to work with and show off the main elements of spring. Flowers, plants, and maybe some eggs will go together perfectly to freshen up your space.

    Arrange a Spring bar

    Spring is the season of gatherings, celebrations, and joyful conversations. For this reason, consider adding a home bar you’ve always dreamed of. Incorporate some softer drinks into your bar to make the vibe just right. Mocktails, anyone?

    Introduce Some Patterns

    Vertical and horizontal lines make all the difference in decorations. We aren’t saying you should create optical illusions in your home (but nobody stops you). Paint the walls with horizontal lines, switch up the cushions with vertical patterns, and you’re ready.

    A Place for Hats

    Hats and spring go together perfectly. If the wind isn’t blowing and the sun is shining, then the hat will keep you safe from the UV light. So, to help you remember to grab it — make a place for your hats near the doorway. Adding a hall tree could work just fine. It’s also great to freshen up your entryway. 

    Have a Decorative Tray in the Bathroom

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Decorations don’t always need to be grand. Instead, it can be as simple as a tray of simple elements that remind you of spring. If you are placing one in the bathroom, load up the tray with soap whose aroma reminds you of spring or add a potpourri bowl. Also, include a candle to have an extra light source in the room.

    Get a New Carpet

    Tired of your old flooring but too lazy to replace it? Well, get some flower-themed carpets. Or, borrow one from your grandma. They always seem to have a spare one lying around.

    Spring Decor for Outside

    Now that your interior has that much-needed spring warmth — it’s time to move outside. In the great outdoors, you can test your DIY skills and don’t worry too much about making a mess. Also, the better you make your exterior decorations — the more eyes you will attract.

    Start With a Spring Wreath

    The front door is the first place you should start with, and nothing says “Welcome spring!” like a DIY spring wreath. Don’t know how to make it? Buy one from a local florist instead.

    Try out Some Wall Art

    Paint and brushes can work well on a canvas and, if you have grander ambitions — on the wall. So, if you have an empty wall on the side of your house — grab a brush and paint away. Just keep things PG-13-friendly.

    A Firepit for Gatherings

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Nothing beats the warmth of a burning fire in early spring when it’s still slightly cold outside. So, instead of lighting up your fireplace, go outside with those firewood logs. You can make the firepit out of anything: metal rim, tractor wheel trim, or even a log. Put some flowers into the firepit when not in use for the supposed purpose. And there you have it, a decoration with a hidden practical use!

    Install Bird Feeders

    Birds chirping outside? Well, you might want to feed the flying creatures. Place bird feeders in the trees in your yard. You can make the feeders as nice as you want. Paint some flowers on them, and make them look like a beehive or something along those lines.

    Repurpose an Old Watering Can

    Got an automated watering system? Well, don’t throw away that watering can just yet. Instead, fill it up with dirt, plant a seedling, and watch it grow. To have an inception moment — water the plant from a watering can.

    Mount a Weather Vane

    Tired of the weather reports on the TV? Find out the weather the old-fashioned way by mounting a weather vane. If you don’t want to invest in it, attach a small rock (painted, of course) on a string instead. If it moves, it’s windy. If it’s wet, it’s raining. Simple and effective. You might have trouble indicating wind direction, though.

    Spice up Your Deck

    As you know, you can change up the deck as much as you want. So, why not make it spring-inspired? Add plants and cozy armchairs to make the place comfortable for an evening talk. Also, install cozy outdoor lights, such as lanterns, for that extra light.

    Hang Some Plants on the Deck Railings

    Have a deck? Naturally, you’re going to have a deck railing too. If you like your deck railing already, beautify it with some flowers. Hang some dianthus flowers off the railing. Or, go with the flower that you like the most. The choice is yours!

    Prepare Your Garden

    The best spring outdoor decor is the garden. The place of flowers and boundless creativity. So, when the snow melts, and the warm weather engulfs us, plant those flower seeds in your soon-to-be blooming garden. 

    How Do I Refresh My House for Spring?

    Sometimes, the budget might be the problem. After all, decorations don’t grow on trees (most of them). So, we also have five spring decorating ideas that you can use almost free of charge. These DIY spring decor ideas will give you an edge over your neighbors and help you cheaply refresh your home.

    • Clean and declutter. If you can’t buy more decorations — reduce them instead! With spring being about “rebirth” and a “clean mind,” a simple clean-up could suffice your decoration needs.
    • Bring in fresh flowers. Flowers change the game. So, why not take some from the bush outside your window? Bring a bundle of flowers and place them around your home. 
    • Garden and landscape work. A tidy landscape is a beautiful sight for the eyes. So, grab your gardening tools and tidy up your garden.
    • Let in fresh air. Open windows do make the difference. Open the windows and let the sunshine and fresh air come in.
    • Revamp your outdoor space. Looking for spring porch decor ideas? Well, instead of buying something new — reorganize the things you have already by moving them around.

    FAQ
