30 Spring Decor Ideas to Transform Your Home into a Blooming Paradise

Is the background neutral in tone? The colorful flowers in the butler's pantry of Tom Filicia's farmhouse in Connecticut are all it takes to transform the space from drab to an Eden-like setting. Spring Decor 101: Flowers, flowers, flowers.

Nathan Turner and Eric Hughes' California ranch-style home is a lesson in the power of showing off your pet love… just in case Instagram posts weren't enough! Upon stepping through the barn-style Dutch doors and into the foyer, visitors are greeted by a gallery wall of canine portraits and lithographs. Who needs cute spring animals when these adorable poochies are here to say hello?

We're not sure what we're more drawn to in this Ramsay Lyons-designed Tudor-style home in Pittsburgh. Is it the pastel pink patterned cushions? The giant decorative eggs on the cocktail table? Or the life-sized, gold-edged butterfly artwork in the background? No, it's definitely the designer's fluffy pet rabbit perched on the couch. Whatever your vote, it's proof that spring motifs can shine through a variety of decor details.

If you're as color-obsessed as Sheila Bridges is, why stop there? Come spring, the bedroom in Bridges' Hudson Valley home is enhanced with chic flurries of hydrangea in bluish hues. No matter how much you hate the blooms outside, spring is in full swing in this bright room.

Sunny days are all about Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent's favorite fashion accessory: a hat. In their summer home in Montauk, New York, a 1950s coat rack designed by Pierantonio Bonacina was transformed into storage for the family's hat collection. We love this chic style that's perfect for spring weather.

Sometimes all you need is an oversized painting to update a room—take a look at the larger-than-life artichoke (represented in various shades of green) in Rita Konig's rustic Victorian farmhouse dining room, which looks delicious enough to eat and adds just the right amount of whimsy to bring the spring mood to life.

Returning once again to Sheila Bridges' Hudson Valley home, a light-filled hideaway filled with wonderful curiosities. Our favorite detail? A collection of hand-carved birds displayed in attractive glass cloches sits atop an antique Swedish table in the living area. We can't think of a sweeter (or, dare we say, Twitter?) spring tribute to the sunnier days ahead.

You don't necessarily need flowers to make your home feel spring-like. In Carlos Mota's Peruvian beach house, baskets full of grapes on the Indonesian-style tables add a fresh accent…at least until hungry guests reach for them.

Forget cheesy bunny figurines: in Marc Valeanu's Paris apartment, a bookcase lined with colorful spines brings color and vibrancy to the space. Add in some colorful cushions and you'll be sure to stave off spring allergies before the weather turns bad.

Nothing says spring quite like shades of freshly picked green, and this bedroom in an Upper East Side apartment designed by Steven Gambrell is a perfect example, with plush pillows and a throw in a shade of emerald that's just begging to be dived into.

Color, color, and more color! When Jack Grange reinterpreted his friend Florence Grinda's Portuguese villa, he wanted to focus on the cheery vibe of spring all year round. Whether you love summer all year round or just want to change things up, adding colorful wall art is easy and tasteful. In the dining room of Grinda's villa, Grange repainted a set of 1960s Baumann chairs that sit atop a cheery Rug Republic rug, and the walls are adorned with rainbow-colored plates. Why hesitate?

As the weather warms up, put away your heavy blankets and pillows and switch to lighter linens. Shea McGee's Spring 2024 collection, shown here, features plenty of neutral-toned cushions to add a touch of springtime elegance to any room. “Adding coziness with layered rugs and pillows in lighter tones can help reinvigorate your space for summer,” says Shea McGee of Studio McGee.

Nothing beats fresh flowers, but floral sculptures are more long-lasting. The guest room of this Jacques Grange-designed villa in Portugal is decorated with vibrant tulips and enhanced with floral cushions—proof that there's more than one way to stop and smell the roses.

Everyone does it, because sometimes you can't reinvent the classics: arranging tree branches in pretty vases, as Matthew Harris did in his Lisbon villa, brings spring to your kitchen.

Looking for an understated yet memorable décor? Take a cue from designers at ELLE DECOR's A-List design firm Ashe Leandro. They nipped banality in the bud (literally) by decorating a custom Denis Nelson travertine dining table in a Park Avenue townhouse with various glass containers filled with sprigs of flowers. We're enthralled!

Don't worry: The wallpaper is fine as is.To add a playful spring energy to her Madrid apartment, Isabel Lopez Quesada brought in two guest parrot vases that won't squeal, but will surely get plenty of people turning in their direction.

Few things beat a tasteful maximalist headboard pattern, and in the master bedroom of a charming Scandinavian-style home on a Minnesota lake, Anne MacDonald incorporated a material she describes as “a feminine take on Scandinavian cottage style without being granny-esque.” Spring is here all year round!

Roll out the spring welcome mat! With just a change of candles, this room will have a cheery spring feel. Pair these yellow taper candles with bright flowers to lift the mood without having to light them.

If you're tired of the same old artificial spring decorations, try adding your own colorful flair to the ones in your backyard. This Easter pom-pom tree is fresh and funky. “It's a beautiful way to add a handmade feel while still maintaining elegance,” says Brittany Watson Jepsen, founder and creative director of The House That Lars Built.

Lori Lord personalized her console table by conjuring up all the best images of spring: “A bunch of bunnies, flowers, and baskets of greenery were harmoniously arranged to represent the start of Easter,” she explains.
