Spring Home Decor: How to Style Your Furniture This Season

Last Updated on October 15, 2024 by SampleBoard

As we find ourselves in the heart of spring, many of us are likely engaging in the annual tradition of spring cleaning.

This practice gives our homes a fresh start for the new season and reflects a growing trend among Americans.

However, why stop at just cleaning?

This is the perfect time to give your home a fresh look, in line with the vibrant spirit of spring. 

Spring offers a perfect opportunity to revitalize your living space with its promise of new beginnings.

If your home feels stagnant, it's time to embrace the transformative power of seasonal decor, just as you do with Halloween and Christmas.

So, what does spring home decor look like?

Let's explore how to style your furniture and home to welcome this refreshing new season with open arms.

Go for spring tones

Dark and warm colors, such as mauve, royal blue, and deep brown, are always best for winter.

Yet, though they provide a sense of coziness in colder months, you'll want to change them out for brighter, more refreshing hues in the spring.  

About Town recommends shades like pastel pink and blue, rich greens, and vibrant oranges and yellows.

Adding a pop of these colors into your home for the spring can be as simple as changing the covers on your couch pillows or adding a new rug to the living room.

Add more texture

Spring is all about nature, which is why you should bring that into your home using furniture with more organic textures.

For example, you can use coffee tables with bases made of rough rather than planed wood or upgrade your bed to feature natural wood finishes.

The Voyage Natural California king bedroom sets are designed with simple, clean lines made with brushed light oak — ensuring a fresh, springtime look that won't weigh your bedroom down. 

Our "Organic Modern Style in Interiors" piece notes that when placed alongside smoother pieces, these textures can add layers of contrast, warmth, and balance to any living space.

More importantly, they'll mimic how unpredictable nature can be as it wakes up, revealing more of itself this time of the year.

Switch to lighter fabrics

Warmer months are ahead, so you should ditch the flannel beddings and wool throw pillows for lighter and breezier textiles. 

The Sleep Foundation's post on bedding fabrics notes that some of the best are Egyptian and percale cotton, linen, bamboo fibers, and Tencel.

These are highly breathable, and some even have moisture-wicking properties. The best part is they're not just great for your bed and pillow sheets.

You can also switch out the fabrics on couches, chairs, and the throw pillows that go on them for an added touch of spring or keep a lighter throw on the sofa for colder mornings.

Remember the flowers!

Ultimately, the best way to infuse spring into your home is with seasonal greenery, and there's no better way to do that than with a vase or planter full of flowers.

You can be inspired by the vibrant centerpieces by the florist Mark Thompson.

He focuses on seasonality as a theme, and such accent pieces can brighten the home, immediately bringing it out of the winter months.

You can also use cheery flowers like hydrangeas, Bells-of-Ireland, and larkspur and put them in wide, round vases with moistened foam for additional hydration and support.

If you are based in Australia and want to enhance your home with fresh floral arrangements and daily deliveries, contact a Brisbane florist who can create bespoke bouquets to elevate your space and bring a touch of nature indoors.

Daily Blooms is a popular florist in Brisbane, Australia, offering a diverse selection of floral arrangements and gifts for any occasion. Customers can shop online with the option for delivery across Australia.

One of Daily Blooms' standout features is its premium, sustainably packaged flowers, which are available for same-day delivery.

They'll look great wherever you place them—whether on the dressers in your living room, beside your books on shelves, or on the dining table as a centerpiece.
