Is anyone else ready for blue skies, sunshine and warmer weather?! Here at Greenbank Interiors, we most definitely are! So help us say goodbye to cold and grey and hello to new beginnings and fresh flowers with these ideas on how to decorate your home for spring!
Let visitors to your home know you’re ready to welcome spring!
By adding a little sign like this one from @lottashouse onto a door handle or discreet nail in the wall somewhere in your hallway, you’re telling your family and friends that you’re fed up of the crummy weather and all-too-ready to welcome spring (and them!) into your home! Rather than a nod to warmer weather like some of the ideas in this blog post, this is a shout out!
Add wreaths to the inside or outside of your front door
This indoor springtime wreath from @lights4fun is a perfect way of adding a touch of faux foliage and flowers to decorate your home for spring – complete with twinkly lights! As well as hanging it on your door, you could also use it as a table centrepiece – two in one! Because it’s a great alternative to real flowers, you will be able to reuse your wreath time and time again. Running on batteries and using a timer is the perfect way of making sure your home is spring-ready.
Change up soft furnishings to freshen up your living room and bedroom
One of our favourite ideas is to change your soft furnishings in your living room and bedroom from darker autumnal and winters colours into spring and summer tones. Using whites, creams and beiges to freshen up your home – like these white cotton cushions from @perfectly.lovely.interiors – is an easy, cheap and quick way to renew your look!
Add special pieces of spring décor to replace your Christmas and winter ornaments
Do you have spaces where your winter knickknacks and trinkets were over the past season? Why not replace them with spring-specific ornaments such as these little wooden houses from @little_cottage_workshop. They’ll look cute anywhere in your home and will add a little quirky touch to your interiors!
Use fresh flowers throughout your home
A very simple and, some may say, obvious way to decorate a home ready for spring is to add flowers to your home. We don’t mind that it’s obvious – we love flowers! However, to make it specific to springtime, why not use quintessential spring bulbs such as daffodils and tulips like these from @the_suffolk_nest. By using flowers in vases, jugs or planters, you can pep up any table or mantlepiece!
Swap scents to something a little fresher
We associate fragrances of this time of year with freshness, happiness and blooms so trade in your musky and woody candles and wax melts for scents such as cotton, rose or citrus-like these linen wax melts from @botanicscentco. A lovely way to add a crispness to your home and freshen it up for spring, we recommend placing diffusers and spraying mists in hallways, landings and living rooms to make the most of the new scents!
Spring clean… and add a touch of organisation to your home when decorating for spring
Many people love to do a deep clean in their home at the end of winter, heading into spring. Why not make the most of this activity and use the time to get yourself organised in the kitchen! These labelled canisters for tea, coffee and sugar from @charlierosevintage are a great way to tidy, organise and make your cupboards or worksurface super pretty!
Use embroidered flowers as an alternative to fresh flowers to decorate your home for spring
Such a lovely and novel idea is to use embroidered flowers instead of ‘real’ flowers this spring – and for many springs to come – like these from @spellsandspindles, which come sitting in a little terracotta pot. Perfect to add as part of a tablescape or taking centre stage on its own on a coffee table, this decoration is a fun and pretty way to springify your home!
Go all out for Easter with cute bunnies and chicks
You don’t have to wait until Easter to decorate your home in celebration of this event! Place bunny baskets, fluffy chicks, wreaths and florals like these from @inspirationswholesaleuk in different rooms or focused in one area like the dining table to create a tablescape is a really lovely way to add some colour and fun into your home.
Display your chocolates in the prettiest of ways!
Ever wondered how you can display your Easter chocolates in a cute way? Look no further! These bunny ear glass jars from Nest Homely Interiors is the perfect way! These jars come in three sizes and have removable lids, allowing you to add whichever sweet treats you’d like! Wonderful for Easter… or as a gorgeous decoration at any time of the year!
