With
Easter just three weeks away, now can be the time to start ushering in your
spring décor as the weather warms and the kids are primed for Spring
Break. Let’s take a look at what spring
décor themes will be trending this season.
Bird
nests are big right now. In different
forms throughout the decades, nests have been pretty classic. But modern spins have nests displayed in
clusters empty, attached to a greenery backdrop like moss ribbon, and with pale
shades of eggs in tow in faint blue and champagne shades. They can be built into table centerpieces,
rested on top of a stack of books on the coffee or end table, or added into a
topiary, whether flanking a front entryway or sitting on top of a foyer
table.
Pale
shades in general are hot this spring.
Taking a detour away from the more traditional pastel colors of pink,
green, blue, and purple, spring is taking on more of an upscale neutral feel
with the incorporation of gray, white, champagne, muted blues, light coral, and
faded sage greens. Incorporate these in
table linens, guest hand towels, couch throw pillows, and decorative knick
knacks.
Decorative
accents like painted metal lanterns, birdcages, and glass and ceramic dishes
will be featured displays as well.
Back-to-nature naturals like tins of grass, boxwood topiaries in both
pot and pom forms, and clusters of blooms like hydrangeas will make soft,
attractive additions to counters, tables, and shelving. For fun twists on spring staples, use
children’s rubber boots as outdoor planters for a favorite potted bloom, fill a
bright ceramic pot with clean garden hand tools for a patio table centerpiece,
or stash early Easter candy in a pretty vase usually reserved for a bouquet.
Find
ways you can put some spring in your home’s step for a fresh, bright start to
the new season. Whether traditional or
modern is your style, there are countless options out there for incorporating
some seasonal flavor in your home, sweet spring home.
