Use Beautiful Spring Blooms

Spring is such a short-lived season, and so is spring’s pretty blossoms! Make sure to use them liberally and enjoy their unique beauty!

Flowers and other organics are the backbone of my spring decor. I like to use what blooms outside in our home. This is such a smart idea. It literally brings the beauty and bounty of the outdoors inside. Over the years, I have brought in almost every spring flower that blooms in Lancaster County!

I am pro faux flowers. I love all flowers, both real and fake. Nothing beats a big vase of real tulips or stately blooming branches, but fresh flowers are not always economical or easy to get.

So, I most often opt for faux flowers and spring bulbs. These beautiful, almost-real blooms can be used repeatedly each spring.

If you want to start a collection of spring faux flowers, start by purchasing the best you can afford! I like to find my faux blooms on sale. Collect a few every year, and soon, you will have enough flowers to use in your whole home.

Easy Ideas For Using Spring Flowers

• My favorite way to use spring blooms is to arrange them in single-flower arrangements in a glass vase or pitcher for big impact or use branches in an urn.
• Tie a ribbon around a bunch of faux tulips and lay them in a dough bowl with the ribbon trailing over the edge of the bowl.
• Put a small bouquet of spring flowers in every room you spend a lot of time in.
• You can usually buy a pot of tete-a-tete daffodils in the grocery store. Take them out of the plastic pot they are in and replant them, or put the plastic pot into another pretty container that works with your decor. Then, gently add moss around the daffodils for a designer look.
• Cut daffodils do not play nicely with other cut flowers. Put them in a vase by themselves. A container of daffodils looks like sunshine.
• Plant bulbs indoors. Buy blooming bulbs, remove them from their plastic pots, and replant them in interesting pots and interesting containers. Then, gently add moss around the daffodils for a designer look.
• Use faux spring flowers to make a beautiful, full spring wreath for your front door.

Organic Decor Ideas to Freshen Up Your Home

Organics are anything that grows naturally outside. When I think of spring organics, I think of brambles and puss* willows and sticks and twigs and greenery. Spring florals are really organics, too, but they deserve a category all their own.

Some of my favorite organics I use in the spring are willow balls, moss balls, and brambly branches.

All of these lovely gifts of nature add tons of texture and warm hues to spring decor.

Easy Ways To Use Organics In Your Spring Decor

• I like to tuck organic bits and pieces in vignettes or in a glass hurricane with a nest. Or add them around the outside of a glass hurricane with a candle in it.
• A bowl or planter of moss balls creates a pretty mini focal point in a room.
• Create a curly puss* willow candle ring (like the one above) using a grapevine wreath. Add a glass hurricane and a candle to the center. This makes the prettiest centerpiece on a table.
• Tie pastel ribbons around small grapevine wreaths and attach them to the back of dining room chairs.
• Ferns remind me of spring. Use real or faux greenery in your spring decor. I bought three little faux fern balls with roots at a local shop and put them in little containers. I use these ferns so often when I decorate!
• Create a small indoor herb garden in your kitchen or windowsill with pots of basil, mint, rosemary, and other herbs for both decoration and culinary use.
• Place potted plants such as ferns, succulents, or peace lilies around your home to add a touch of greenery and purify the air.

Refresh Your Spring Home With Pretty Textiles

Pillows and other items like decorative throws, curtains, rugs, and upholstery are interior design gold! Use them liberally in the spring. Choose pillows that work with your color palette, or add a pretty new spring color. Spring pillows should be made of cotton, linen, and lighter blends.

Think about using one spring statement pillow.

Inject a touch of springtime charm into your home decor with a statement pillow that pays homage to the season! Adding a carefully chosen pillow with a subtle nod to spring instantly breathes new life into any room. I found a handsome rabbit pillow this year that I just could not pass up! He sits (when we are not around the table) on a chair in our dining room, which can be seen from several rooms in our home. Because of the centerpiece and the statement pillow, this room is ready for spring.

This simple yet impactful addition not only elevates your interior design but also brings a delightful sense of warmth and freshness, making your home feel inviting and rejuvenated for the season ahead

Ways To Use Spring Pillows

• If you like pillows with spring motifs like bunnies, chicks, or lambs, but only use one per room.
• Mix and match pillows so they work with the color palette in your room and any spring decor you add to it.
• Use spring mix-and-match pillows on sofas and chairs in your living room, bedroom, and dining room.
• Use 2 pillows propped up on a chair that is not often used for a luxe spring look.
• Change out your pillows to lightweight fabrics and soft colors like neutrals and pastels.
• Think about making your own spring pillows with your favorite springtime fabrics.
• Layer spring pillows with lightweight throw blankets. They also need to be updated for the spring.
• Use a long spring throw blanket as a table runner or tablecloth for your dining table or sideboard. This will add a touch of seasonal charm and protect your surfaces from scratches or spills.
• Repurpose spring throw blankets by sewing or wrapping them around pillow inserts to create custom throw pillows for your sofa, bed, or outdoor seating area. This will add a cozy and personalized touch to your decor.
• Repurpose a spring throw blanket and make placemats for your Easter table.
• Change your curtains to sheer or lightweight versions.
• If you have accent rugs, exchange them for rugs made of sisal or cotton, which have a warm-weather look and feel.
• Remember to switch your bedding for lighter layers and fabrics.

Rabbits: Creative Ways To Decorate For Spring

It wouldn’t be spring without one decorative rabbit in my home. I must admit I am not a big fan of tchotchkes, and that includes bunnies. They are just a bit too cute for me. However, I do make an exception during the spring. It is the perfect time to add one or two well-chosen rabbits to display with other spring decorations.

Ways To Use Rabbits In Spring Decor

• Layer rabbits and bunnies with other decor. Remember the cheese in the Nursery Rhyme; you do not want your bunnies to stand alone!
• Place decorative bunny figurines or rabbit-shaped vases filled with spring flowers as the centerpiece for your dining or coffee table.
• Make an Easter basket centerpiece using bunnies.
• Hang a bunny wreath on your front door.
• Put a small rabbit in a spring potted plant.
• Use bunny-shaped place card holders or napkin rings to dress up your springtime table settings for Easter brunches or spring gatherings with family and friends.
• Make a garland of felt bunnies with pom pom tails.

The little rabbit egg cups often find themselves on our Easter table. I have had them for almost a decade.

Elevate Your Spring Decor With Brambly Nests

Every year in mid-February, I begin what I call Robin watch. This year, the robins came back to our area early. And they looked very well fed. Robins make me think of nests.

Nests are wonderful little spring accents for our homes. They are easy to tuck into small spaces, vignettes, bookshelves, and arrangements.

I use a few of them every spring and spread them about our home.

Ways To Use Nests

• One of my favorite ways to elevate a nest is in a cloche on a pedestal! Or perch a small wreath on top of a silver candlestick. The juxtaposition is beautiful.
• Birds find the oddest places to build nests, so don’t be afraid to put a nest in unusual places in your home, like in a turned-on-its-side mug, on top of a group of books in a bookcase, or tucked in the leaves of a potted plant.
• Because nests (please don’t use real ones) are organic, you can tuck them into vignettes, dough bowls, and baskets. They are the one spring decor item that looks amazing, sitting all by themselves at the end of a mantel or bench.
• Set a table and use a nest at each place setting as a little take-home gift for guests.
• For a charming springtime display, place a decorative nest as the centerpiece of your dining table, filled with faux eggs, spring flowers, and greenery.
• Arrange a collection of nests in varying sizes along your mantel, interspersed with candles, blooming branches, and small bird figurines for a cozy and rustic spring look.
• Use miniature nests as place card holders for your Easter table settings.
• Incorporate nests into your spring floral arrangements by placing them as accents among fresh flowers and foliage in vases or baskets.
• Embellish a wreath with a tiny nest.

Elevate Your Home Decor with Baskets and Trays! When you think of trays, you might not think of spring. But trays make wonderful home decor items for gathering spring decor!

One of my favorite ways to use trays is to corral a vignette.

Spring Wreath Ideas to Welcome the Season

As each new season begins, I make it a tradition to decorate my front door with a wreath that captures the essence of that time of year. It’s a simple yet meaningful ritual that I anticipate with excitement. Wreaths hold a special significance in my home decor—they’re more than just decorations. To me, they symbolize warmth and hospitality, offering a cheerful seasonal greeting to everyone who comes to our front door.

Wreaths are versatile. They can be used indoors and outdoors, hung on the wall, or used flat as a centerpiece. They can be brambly, lush with flowers and spring branches, and even twiggy with puss* willows.

Decorating with wreaths in the spring adds a touch of natural beauty and seasonal charm to any space.

Ways To Use Wreaths In Spring Decor

• Tie the pretty ribbon in pastel shades on small wreaths and hang them on a mirror or the newel post of a set of stairs.
• Make a “use what you have” spring wreath by refreshing an old wreath. Remove everything, salvaging what you can and throwing away the rest. Cover the wreath with spring branches and other spring elements to breathe new life into it.
