Sharing my favorite spring decor ideas!
I LOVE spring and love the bright, fun colors of spring too! Today I’m sharing five of my favorites spring decor ideas to bring the colors and life of the season into your come. Ready to see? (post includes some affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here})
1. Bring Outdoor Flowers In!
One of my favorite things about spring is that it starts the flow of an endless supply of flowers in our yard that I can clip and fill the house with. We literally have hundreds of hydrangea blooms in all colors, including the gorgeous purple hydrangeas in {this footed glass vase} that’s my go-to for flowers:

We also have several hydrangea trees that have blooms with a more natural organic vibe that are fun to clip too:

For a short period, we also have the prettiest peonies:
It’s also so nice to have smaller bundles of flowers in unexpected places like your living room coffee table:

2. Freshen Up Your Front Door With a Colorful Wreath
I love adding a colorful wreath to our front door for spring! It gives you a joyful vibe before you even step foot in our home. One of my favorites is {this faux lemon wreath} I had on our front door a few years back:
I also love the simplicity of {this boxwood tulip wreath} paired with {this “oh hello” doormat}:

3. Grab A Pair of Lanterns for Spring Dining
I love spending time outside on our patio in the spring and if I had to pick a favorite spring decor piece I use on it, it would have be a pair of lanterns. A planter of flowers (I just snag one of my hanging baskets and clip off the hangers) flanked by two lanterns is a quick and simple outdoor table centerpiece that looks so pretty:
The exact gold wire lanterns I have in this pic are no longer available but {these lanterns} are a gorgeous similar option. You can see my other favorite lanterns and get several lantern decor ideas in {this post}.
And did you know that you can get citronella pillar candles to use in them? I used those ugly short metal pails with citronella candles in them before I realized they came in pillar form that look just like the candles I normally use in my lanterns – I’m hooked! You can get a set of three 3″ x 6″ citronella pillar candles {here} and single candles in a variety of sizes and white or yellow colors {here}.
4. Set Up an Outdoor Bar Cart for Entertaining
When we’re hanging out on our patio with family and friends, I also like to set up our outdoor bar cart as a drink station. Having a glass beverage dispenser such as {this one} that I fill with water and an infuser that has fruit and herbs (my favorite is a mix of lemon and mint) is a crowd pleaser for both kids and adults. Cute striped paper straws like {these} are a fun touch too!
I also make use of the bottom shelf of our bar cart, putting some chilled drinks in {this galvanized tub}:
5. Add Color With Pillows
It used to be that indoor outdoor pillows were scratchy and ugly but wow has that ever changed! Now there are a ton of options that can be used both indoors and out! These are a few of my outdoor pillow faves:

I’m going to wrap up this post by cheating a bit and add two of my favorite spring and summer essentials that are about eating rather than decorating. My hands-down favorite food is lobster rolls – not the kind with mayo (if that’s your favorite, we might not be able to be friends…) – I’m all about the melted butter! But if we’re talking about food we make at home (we haven’t yet attempted to make our own lobster rolls), homemade ice cream is where it’s at! We have {this ice cream maker} that makes the most DELICIOUS ice cream:
Our favorite is peppermint ice cream that’s made with milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, mint leaves, and chopped up peppermint patties. Delicious! We just got it two summer ago and I wish I had pulled the trigger a whole heck of a lot longer ago than that!
And of course, I simply can’t leave out S’mores – love them! Last spring we got {these telescoping marshmallow roasting sticks} which are perfect for getting the job done without worrying about what animal might have peed on the stick you just grabbed out of the woods and put your marshmallow on (or is that just me…).
And they telescope out and back in so are way easier to store than the really long ones. We also keep a steady supply of popsicles on hand using {these Zipzicle Ice Pop Pouches} that you simply pour juice into, seal up, and throw in the freezer. My girls love them!
So there you have it – my five (plus a few extra) favorite spring decor ideas! I would absolutely love to hear about your spring favorites too – share away in the comments!
