The Spring Decorations I’m Crushing On This Year!

Spring Door Decorating Ideas

The winter greenery swag that I put on our front door for the holidays typically comes down as soon as the snow melts and a pretty spring door decoration goes up in its place! I’m SO excited about the spring wreath that’s on its way to me this year – it’s a stunner (you can find it {here})! A bit of an investment but since my front door is sheltered by an overhang, I should get several years of use out of it:

Another favorite spring wreath is {this boxwood wreath with a bundle of faux tulips} that was my spring door decoration a few years back- super simple but also so pretty. I love the pop of the pink tulips against my black door!

For a few other beautiful options, you can check out my ten favorite spring front door wreaths {here} that I recently updated.

Spring Vases & Planters

I LOVE spring flowers so always have my eye out for cute vases and planters to put them in. I just got this little rabbit ear vase (found {here}) and am totally smitten:

I love that it only took half of my $5.99 tulip bundle from the grocery store to dress this little bunny up! Another new spring decoration of mine is this color dipped planter found {here} (mine is size small) that looks like it’s a woven basket but is actually cement! I just saw that it’s on sale for under $20 right now and ships for free until midnight:

I put a lacecap hydrangea plant in it that I’ll eventually plant in the yard once everything thaws out for spring (assuming my black thumbed self doesn’t kill it first…).

And those of you who caught my last post on coffee table decor have already seen this last spring planter idea, but if you didn’t I put one of {these faux peony bundles} in raspberry and two of {these faux hydrangeas} in {this cute white planter} in our family room to add a pop of spring color!

Spring Table Decorations

Spring is the perfect time to entertain whether you’re hosting guests inside or out on your patio. I never do anything too elaborate for my spring table decorations but sometimes simple can look kinda fancy if you do it up right! One trick I have up my entertaining sleeve that I’ve shared before is to use sliced lemons around the rim of a vase filled with flowers (or in this case, blooms clipped from bushes in our yard):

The trick to doing this without killing your flowers (they’ll die pretty quickly if placed in lemon-filled water) is to place a small vase filled with fresh water for your flowers inside of a larger vase and fill the space between the two vases with sliced lemons and water. I share the detailed how-to for lemon-lined vases in {this post}.

Another of my favorite simple spring decorating ideas is to create an easy spring centerpiece by simply placing a shallow glass water-filled bowl inside of your favorite decorative bowl. I’ve tried it with all different kinds of flowers but this combination of ranunculus and wax flowers is one of my favorites: 

If flower arranging isn’t in your skill set, a great standby that works for anyone and everyone is tulips in a vase. It’s as easy as buying a few tulip bundles from the grocery store, mixing up the different colors (using just a single color works too!) and plopping them in a vase (my go-to is {this medium sized glass hurricane vase}). I did exactly that for {this Easter table} last year and even though it’s so simple, it’s one of my favorite spring table decorations ever!

Spring Art

Changing out a piece of art or two is another fun way to bring in some spring! This weekend I’ll actually be posting about some new spring-inspired art in our kitchen eat-in area – here’s a quick iPhone pic of my art before it went up on the wall:

So stay tuned for the details and pics on that but in the meantime, here are a few favorite art pieces I found while shopping for my kitchen art that you can buy framed or unframed to bring in some spring (Scroll & Click/Tap Image to Shop Each Piece):

Spring Pillows

Of course we can’t forget the pillows!!! I always bring bits of color into our home for spring – most of the time that’s pillows in pinks, greens, and other fresh spring colors but this year I’m loving the blues! I ordered two of {these striped pillow covers} in “slate” thinking that they were a standard gray and when I opened the box and saw they were more of a blue than a gray, I had an oops moment until I put them on our kitchen banquette – LOVE them! And I love how they work so well with blush, pink, and other spring tones so they were definitely a happy accident:

This pair of pillows kind of blew my spring pillow budget so I don’t know if I’ll be getting any more this spring but it definitely doesn’t keep me from looking! I feel like the spring pillow pickings are slim this year (hopefully there are some new styles still on their way out in the next month) but these are the ones I’ve found so far that I love (Scroll & Click/Tap Image to Shop Each Pillow):

I’m counting down the number of Connecticut winters I have left (just two after this one if all goes according to plan) because I am SO not a winter person but it sure does make me appreciate (and get excited about) spring! Enjoy the rest of your week everyone and I’ll see you back here this weekend with my kitchen eat-in area art wall reveal!
