1. Embracing Rich and Earthy Tones

While pastels have traditionally dominated spring palettes, I have been really gravitating toward earthy hues. Not to say I didn’t use some shades of pink but I chose darker pink, plum, navy blue, mustard yellow, and chocolate brown which add depth and warmth. These shades provide a sophisticated alternative to traditional spring colors, allowing for a more refined and cozy aesthetic. Subtle muted colors feel more grounded to me and also allow for an easier transition to summer.

I added some dried hydrangeas in that beautiful rose/plum color from my neighbors garden last year. You can see that fall decorating post here. The color really pops off the white dishes and when mixed in with some muted shades of pink is so pretty for spring.

I added a bit of classic pink with some florals and artwork in the corner of the kitchen.

I also brought in some navy. I’ve always loved navy and I’ve wanted to use it in my decor for the longest time. I like the way it adds a new twist to spring.

I pulled it in with the throw blanket and pillows as well as the books.

You can also see the navy pulled in the crocks on top of the armoire.

2. Incorporating Natural Materials

Always a favorite for me, warm wood tones, stone accents, and woven textures create a serene and organic feel. Whether through woven furniture, linen curtains, clay vases, or reclaimed wood pieces, these elements bring a sense of nature indoors. Try layering different textures to add depth and visual interest to your space while maintaining a cohesive look.

3. Bold Patterns and Textures

Mixing bold patterns and rich textures is a great way to create a fresh look for spring and is more and more on trend for this year. Think geometric patterns, floral motifs, and embroidered or tufted textiles that add character and dimension to your decor. To balance the boldness, pair these elements with neutral furnishings or muted backdrops. You know I love a good neutral. 🙂

You can add texture with baskets, faux florals and even the picture frames.

Spring is the perfect time to revitalize your home and embrace a new design aesthetic. By incorporating just a few of these elements, you can create a home that feels fresh, inviting, and aligned with the beauty of the season.
