Winter snow brings...a spring glow? Okay, so the wording needs work, but the sentiment about the season of sunshine remains true! Something else that might need a little work? Your seasonal home styling. As the cold front clears up, store your cozy winter décor to make room for these spring decorating ideas. As Ree puts it, "Above all, spring, to me, means life and new possibilities." And those possibilities include refreshing your space for the brighter days ahead with some DIY spring décor!
Ahead, you'll find décor tutorials, spring crafts, and general home inspiration for just about every design style out there. Want to give your kitchen a makeover as soon as March rolls around? Get inspired with kitchen décor ideas involving colorful glassware, delightful dish towels, and an abundance of floral centerpieces. Looking for inspiration for a guest bedroom or master bath? We've got you covered with ideas for sprucing up your towels, swapping out your bedding, and even a botanical wallpaper that'll have you seeing florals as you fall asleep each night.
So many of these ideas double as Easter decorations, too. There's no scarcity of bunnies and chicks, which feel both seasonal and holiday worthy. Of course, we also have a few ideas before you even step into the house like spring wreaths featuring a watering can and one covered in vintage seed packets for planting spring flowers. We can't imagine a better or more creative way to welcome in your springtime guests—not to mention the season itself!
Your spring style refresh starts here:
Make a Macrame Wreath
If you're just getting to taking down your Christmas wreath, don't worry. You can replace it with this boho macrame one with just a few simple supplies, including faux greenery, macrame cord, and wooden beads.

Style Your Sink
Spring cleaning can be cute. Spruce up your kitchen sink with a small floral arrangement, a spring-scented soap and lotion set, a pretty soap holder, and a matching hand towel. The functional accents will make any nook all the more cheerful!

Frame a Seasonal Print

Freshen Up Your Bart Cart
When refreshing your home for spring, don't neglect your bar cart! Swap out cozy red wines for lighter liqueurs and add some airy accents, like a bowl of citrus fruit, flowers, and greenery.

Whitewash Your Pots
This clean, classic finish is perfect for a light and bright season like spring! Whitewashing your old pots and planters is easier than you may think. All you need is acrylic paint, damp paper towels, water, and a chip brush to execute this simple whitewash paint technique.

Add an Accent Wall
Don't be afraid to go bold with your spring décor! To add new life to any entryway or room, consider painting an accent wall a bright spring color. You can even mix leftover house and project paint to create a custom tint!

Warm Up With Wood Tones
Wood isn't just for winter. Swap out darker décor for neutral pieces with natural wood tones, like picture frames and bowls. They'll pair perfectly with greenery, too!

Lean Into Lanterns
With all the spring sunshine flowing in, you won't need to light any lanterns. Instead, fill them with faux flowers, moss, and succulents for a stunning spring addition to a bookshelf or mantel.

Go Groovy With Retro Florals
If maximalism is your thing, throw it back with a few retro floral accents! Think bright patterned tablecloths, matching tableware, and vintage-inspired, contrasting candlesticks.

Switch Up Your Sheets
You might already be planning to swap your comforter for a lighter blanket, but don't forget to change your sheets, too! Replace warm flannel sheets with light linen sheets to keep you cool and open up your room.

Brighten Up With Lamps
Floor and table lamps are great for adding light to your space, but spring-forward florals and colors can brighten up the room even when they’re off! You can either buy new lamps or simply swap out the shades.
Add Fresh Flowers
Make the most of all the spring flowers by bringing a fresh bouquet inside! It's an easy way to elevate the color and fragrance of a room (and your mood). Consider a flower subscription service to have them delivered straight to your door!
Refresh Your Wall Paint
You don’t need to switch up the color scheme in every room or even every wall. Incorporating a lighter shade of paint, like this greenish-blue, can really refresh a space.

Update Your Mud Room
Spring showers will ensure your mudroom gets good use. Why not upgrade it with stylish and functional storage for rain boots, coats, and more spring gear? It’ll stay bright and cheerful, even on the gloomiest days.

Reupholster Your Chairs
Don't get rid of that old set of chairs just yet. Reupholstering them can completely transform the look without the extra cost. You don’t even need a sewing machine—just a staple gun!

Create a Beautiful Tablescape
Whether you've got a spring event in mind like Mother's Day or are looking to brighten up your dining area for the season, arranging a vibrant tablescape will certainly add new life to your home. A few items to try: a patterned table runner, floral centerpieces, colorful plates, glasses, and placemats.
Redecorate the Mantel
As the focal point of your living room, the mantel should be one of the first things you revamp each season. Stay on-theme by using go-to items like mirrors, candlesticks, and books then merging them with seasonal plants and figurines. Consider height, color, and texture but don't overcrowd.

Swap Out Wall Art
If you typically let your paintings and photographs become permanent fixtures on your wall, it's the perfect time to break that habit. Replace your old framed prints with more colorful images and art like a DIY dried floral piece.

Change Your Curtains
It's time to let the light in—literally. Take down your heavier drapes and put up some beautifully breezy window coverings in their place. Anything sheer and sun-filtering like gossamer, lace, or cotton will do.

Put Up Floral Wallpaper
Hello, accent wall! With peel-and-stick wallpaper, making a springtime statement has never been easier. We're loving the vibrant and cheery blooms in Ree's collection. And when it's time to redecorate again, removing the strips is just as simple.
