There's no shortage of inspiring ideas to freshen up your space for the season.
Sunny Tablescape
From colorful glassware and pink placemats to patterned throws on the banquette bench, this sun-filled dining table is spring-ready. Garden tulips at the center of the table complete the look.
Colorful Bookshelf
Redecorate your bookshelf to match your mood this season. Trade winter decor and dark-colored books for brighter hues. Here, designer Megan Evans creates a rainbow effect, starting with bright red on top.
Whimsical Roman Shade
Brighten up the bedroom with a fresh pop of color—like baby blue. From the botanical Roman shade to the textured throw at the foot of the bed, designer Ryann Swan brings in beautiful blue accents.
Botanical Gallery Wall
Start your spring makeover in the entryway with a set of floral prints over a bench. Layer in pink and white throw pillows, wicker baskets, and touches of fresh greenery.
Potted Bulbs
Plant flower bulbs—like daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips—into terra-cotta pots, then turn the blooms into tabletop decor to delight guests.
Wallpapered Bookcase
Think outside the box the next time you fall in love with a graphic wallpaper design. If you're not ready to commit to installing it on your walls, consider the back of a bookshelf. It's just the thing you need to brighten up your room.
Rainbow Glassware
Head to the antique store (or your grandma's attic) to find candy-colored stem glasses to put on display. Arrange them by color, height, or any other way that pleases the eye.

Cheerful Wallpaper
Turn your bedroom into a cheery escape, like this design scheme from Lisa Gilmore. Start by installing a botanical-inspired wallpaper along with bright curtains, and complete the look with a space-saving pendant light.
Hat Display
Once the weather warms up, it's time to put your straw hats to use, right? Keep them within arm's reach by making your collection a part of your home's decor. Take a cue from lifestyle content creator Sabrina Tan, and hang them from a copper pipe with clothesline rope and clothespins.
Coral Bedroom Accents
For an easy, spring-ready fix, mix textured throws with patterned pillows for added depth and color. Stick to a neutral sheet set for contrast.
Bright Cushions
Upgrade your built-in bench with comfy cushions in a vivid hue. Finish the room by layering in plants, throw pillows, and other small decorative pieces in seasonal shades.
Vertical Garden
If you're tight on outdoor space and need an unexpected way to showcase potted plants, think vertically. Simply place a wooden pallet against a wall and deck it out with as many potted plants as you can fit.
Acrylic Accents
Like mirrors, clear furniture gives the illusion of a bigger space. Take a tiny breakfast nook, for example: Mix clear acrylic and light-colored accent chairs to achieve a lighter look and feel.
Bohemian Accent Rug
Boho-inspired decor relies on colors, patterns and fun textures—all appropriate for the spring season. Think from the ground up with a multi-colored rug, accented with chairs in a coordinating shade.
Layers of Pattern
Pattern play is always a great idea in a primary bedroom. Just a few throw pillows in an array of patterns can make a bed look more polished.
Pastel Hues Galore
Replace dark, winter-appropriate accessories with Easter-ready pastels. While robin's egg blue, soft pink, and lemon yellow may scream spring, they're also appropriate for the warm-weather months (read: summer).
Rattan Bar Cart
If you've been longing to upgrade your nightstand, there's no reason not to take a design risk. Treat a rattan bar cart as a side table by dressing it up with books, a small decorative tray for jewelry, and a simple floral arrangement.
