7 Spring Home Decor Trends for a Fresh Look
We consulted a variety of interior designers to uncover the spring decor trends that are gaining traction this year. Expect to see a delightful blend of soft hues, popular patterns, inviting textures, and unexpected elements. Read on for tips on how to rejuvenate your home with these latest interior trends.
Stripes and Gingham
This season, mixing patterns is a standout trend. Stripes and gingham are making a strong comeback, according to Elizabeth Vergara, founder of a well-known design firm. She notes, “Gingham and stripes will be everywhere this spring. I suggest incorporating them through table runners, pillow covers, and throws. Small changes can bring a refreshing vibe to your home.”
Patterns can complement any room. For a living room update, consider adding gingham pillows to your sofa. If it’s your bedroom needing a refresh, striped sheets can work wonders. Hosting a gathering? Use gingham for your table decor, like napkins or a tablecloth.

Fresh Florals
Although florals aren’t a new concept for spring, they’re essential for capturing the season's essence. “Seasonal blooms like tulips, daffodils, and flowering branches in soft or vibrant colors can uplift your home,” explains Ashley Gallion, an interior design expert. “You can easily introduce spring vibes with smaller accessories like pillows or vases.”
Whether you opt for fresh or faux flowers, don’t hold back. Fill your spaces with vases brimming with blooms on your coffee table, dining table, kitchen island, and mantle!

Swap Out Pillows and Throws
Refreshing your home doesn’t necessitate a complete overhaul. A simple swap of pillows and throws can welcome the spring season beautifully. Laura Medicus, an interior designer, suggests, “Replace heavy winter throws with lighter, spring-themed options in florals or bright plaids. Incorporating soft-colored gingham pillows is another easy update!”

Update Art and Photos
Refreshing your home isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about the ambiance. Outdated art and photographs can dampen the mood. Erin Greene, an interior designer, advises, “A simple way to refresh for spring is to update your framed art or photos. Choose pieces that reflect the season’s lighter, softer vibe.”
Evaluate your wall decor and replace any outdated frames or art. Opt for pieces that evoke spring feelings. For a cost-effective option, consider digital frames. “I love the HD framed canvas from Frameology; it's a luxurious way to display digital art,” Greene notes. “You can switch out seasonal art easily.”

Add Pops of Color
Sarah and Rebecca Goesling, design professionals, emphasize the importance of vibrant colors this spring. “We’re excited about pops of citrus and spicy orange, whether painting an entire room or creating a striking ceiling feature,” they suggest. “Ceilings are an excellent place to experiment with color.”
If painting isn’t in your plans, consider introducing color through decor. “Creamy apricot, asparagus green, bubblegum pink with violet undertones, translucent blues, and high-lacquer scarlet are all vibrant choices,” they add.

Incorporate Vintage Pieces
“Incorporating vintage items is another great way to refresh your space,” the Goesling duo suggests. “Unique finds from estate sales or local artisans add character. Trends this year favor pieces that feel well-loved and have a story.”
Good design evolves over time. This spring, consider rearranging your space, introducing new pieces, and exploring your personal style. Shopping for secondhand items can create a curated look that feels collected over time.

Revive Your Outdoor Space
Spring encourages us to reconnect with the outdoors. Patios, decks, and backyards are ready for a refresh! “As winter ends, we often find our spaces feel heavy, so we lighten things up with airier materials and designs,” shares Barrett Oswald, a principal designer.
As you spruce up your outdoor area, consider adding new pillows, updating plants, and checking your lanterns. “Small adjustments can lead to significant changes,” she emphasizes.
