Looking for simple ways to refresh your home this spring? I’m sharing five easy spring home decor tips inspired by how I’ve decorated around our house this season.

This year, I leaned into soft lavender—such a beautiful color that’s popping up everywhere this spring—and I’m loving how it pairs with the blues and greens I already use in our home! With just a few simple switches, I was able to give our spaces a fresh look for the season, and I’m sharing my favorite tips for a quick spring refresh without doing a full overhaul.

I’ve definitely been on a lavender/lilac kick lately! If you dropped by our home this spring, you’d see touches of it all over. I’ve been adding shades of purple—from deeper magenta tones to soft pastels—through fun DIY projects, pretty spring florals, and subtle accents throughout our spaces. You know I love decorating with blue and green, and lavender is such a perfect spring color to complement them. It creates a pretty analogous color scheme that feels fresh but still cohesive with the rest of our home.

So today, we’re taking a little tour of how I’m using this color palette around our home—plus some easy spring home decor tips to help you switch things up for the season, too!

Tip 1: Choose a Seasonal Color Scheme

Picking a simple color palette is a great way to jump-start your spring decorating. This spring, I’ve been loving lavender paired with my usual blues and greens. It’s soft, fresh, and perfect for the season, and I love it in lots of pretty shades!

Since I already have a backdrop of blue and green around our home, I just added a few touches of lavender in the mix.

• Add color with flowers in pretty arrangements.
  • I switched out the foliage and floral stems in our large wooden turned vase for a fresh look for spring! I use these beautiful white cherry blossom stems every year with greenery, but this year I added these gorgeous faux lavender-colored larkspur stems!

Spring Florals

Shop these pretty spring florals including white cherry blossoms, lavender Larkspur, and green nandina stems.

• Switching out your throw pillows is a great way to inject color.
  • Simply changing out a few throw pillows on your sofa helps carry your spring color scheme into the living room.

New Pillows

These gorgeous pillows add lovely pops of lavender, blue, and green to your living room!

• Add a simple ribbon or bow to a boxwood wreath to tie-in your color scheme.
  • I dyed this cheesecloth for our son’s rehearsal dinner 7 years ago! It’s the perfect addition to the boxwood wreath in our kitchen breakfast area. This cheesecloth runner from Amazon is a similar color.

• Table linens such as table runners or cloth napkins add pretty pops of color.
  • In this tablescape, I used the same lavender-dyed cheesecloth runner layered over a woven runner. I added soft lavender and green cloth napkins folded in cute “bunny ears” to each place setting.
• Simple accents such as tea towels or mugs are fun ways to bring in spring color to your kitchen.

Tip 2: Start with What You Already Have

It’s not necessary, and not even recommended, to completely overhaul your decor with new items each season! Always take inventory of what you already own before you decorate for the season.

Take a walk through your house, look through your storage areas, and shop your home for favorite items. Be creative and think of new ways use can use items around your home.

• Do you have a stash of floral stems that you can use to add to an old wreath for a fresh look?
  • I updated an old spring wreath with faux lilac blooms and added a blue and white gingham bow made from leftover ribbon. I love the way it pops against our blue front door, painted Sherwin-Williams Endless Sea!
• Can you switch up your throw pillows or pillow covers?

• Check your seasonal storage bins! You probably have items you’ve forgotten about!
  • This happens to me all the time, especially if I purchase something at the end of the season and store it away.
• Swap decor between rooms.
  • It’s fun to switch decor around from room to room. It can give your space new life!

Tip 3: Keep a Supply of Staple Decor Pieces on Hand

My very best tip to easily decorate for any season is to keep a collection of versatile decor staples you can use throughout the year. These should be neutral container-type pieces that work in every season—you just swap out what goes in or around them.

Some of my favorite staple decor pieces include:

• Neutral trays and woven baskets. These pieces are great for grouping or corralling seasonal items! You can add candles, seasonal flowers and greenery, or “filler-type” items such as decorative balls or in this case — Easter eggs!
  • This rattan basket pedestal bowl from Target was a new purchase this year, but it’s one I can use in so many different ways, and from season to season. I love the way it looks filled with moss balls and Easter eggs!

• Classic vases and pitchers. Having a few different sizes and styles of vases on hand makes it so easy to add fresh or faux flowers to instantly update your room for the season.
  • Neutral vases and vessels work year-round, but I also love using my blue and white ginger jars to hold seasonal stems and greenery!
  • The vibrant redbud stems are actually made from tissue paper! You can see how I made them in this post! I love the vibrant pinkish-purple shade mixed in with the lighter lavender accents around our home.
• Ceramic or glass bowls.  Keep a variety of sizes and textures of bowls — some can even be pedestal bowls for an elevated look! These are perfect for adding moss balls, spring filler items, or even seasonal fruit.
• Lanterns. I love decorating with a variety of style of lanterns! They’re such timeless pieces that can be styled seasonally with candles, ribbons, flowers and greenery.

Tip 4: Add a Creative DIY Touch

I’ve had lots of fun this spring, getting crafty and creating some colorful DIY spring decor! Whether it’s a spring flower arrangement, hand-painted Easter eggs, or a cute little wreath, DIY projects are one of my favorite ways to add a personal touch to your decor.

Here are a few of the spring DIYs I’ve added to our home this season:

• Hand-painted Easter eggs hung on an egg tree.

• Beautiful painted glass jars for table displays.

• Lovely printed vintage-style butterfly art in frames

• A vase full of spring stems made from tissue paper.

• A cute bunny wreath for the door.

Tip 5: Use Potted Flowers and Plants as Arrangements

If you need a spring centerpiece, a potted flowering plant is the perfect budget-friendly choice! Unlike a cut flower arrangement that fades after a few days, a potted flowering plant can bloom for weeks!

I especially love using potted orchids for beautiful spring color! They’re low maintenance and so elegant, and you can style orchids in so many ways! Here they are styled in a cute Easter basket.

• You can add several petite orchids to a pedestal bowl.

• I love a grouping of orchids in a giant clam shell.

• Display them on your mantel, place them in your foyer!
