Decorating for Spring | Spring Home Decor

With warmer months around the corner and nature finally blossoming back to life, interior decorating for spring is all about bringing seasonal optimism into the home.

The time of bright pastels, baby animals, and budding greenery, spring is the season of new life. From spring wreath ideas to fun indoor planting solutions, celebrate the end of dark mornings and wintry evenings with a spring home décor update.

Bring the outside in

Incorporating a little greenery indoors is the perfect way to mark the arrival of spring.

Collect and paint a bunch of structural twigs for a spring décor staple that will last all season. Update your arrangement with ribbons, daffodils, and other floral delights as they come into bloom.

If you’re not naturally green-fingered, don’t worry! Our selection of artificial plants and flowers will give a spring-like touch without the upkeep, year after year.

Stick to fresh, light colours and get inventive with how you display your flowers and foliage. Why not use glass milk bottles or a vintage-style metal watering can for a playful touch to any hallway or side table?

Greet guests with a floral wreath

Create a handmade wreath to freshen up your front door for spring. Whether a seasoned florist or a complete beginner, there are plenty of spring wreath ideas and tutorials to explore.

For a low-maintenance option, spruce up an artificial wreath with a few personalised additions. If you’re going for an Easter-themed touch, paint a few blown eggs and attach them to your base along with pampas and spray painted branches.

Celebrate spring with a garland

As the transition space between in and outdoors, the entrance to your home is a great area to experiment with Spring decorations. As a fun Spring craft idea for the whole family, why not dress your bannisters, hall table or mantelpiece with a homemade garland?

Look in your garden and hedgerows for interesting materials, and add artificial flowers, string lights, and Easter egg decorations.

Top tip: If you’re looking for spring craft ideas to occupy the family over the weekend, plant pot painting is a fun activity for everyone to get involved in.

Introduce organic textures

A springtime take on wintry wood fires, adorning your home with candles and ornaments made from natural materials will keep that cosy feeling. A handcrafted wooden candle holder or elegant walnut lantern makes for a stylish focal point and will brighten up any dark corners.

If your lamp shades could do with an update, opt for neutral linens or woven bamboo for a light Springtime look.

Brighter evenings call for a lighting refresh

As the evenings begin to stay lighter for longer, an overhead spotlight can feel too bright and artificial. Instead, opt for an array of eclectic lamps to light up your living space. Natural woods, neutral shades and warm bulbs work well together to create an inviting atmosphere – ideal for early Spring evenings.

Additionally, decorative outdoor lighting will ease the transition to balmy summer nights as you wait for the weather to warm up.

Indulge all the senses

Update your home fragrances with fresh, floral scents to help uplift your mood and interior. Opt for a delicately scented reed diffuser or candle for the perfect addition to your home décor. If you’re not sure on what scent to choose, our Spring meadow, wild lavender and intoxicating japanese blossom scents are a great place to start.
