With the cold and gloom of winter melting away, thoughts are turning to sunnier days and springtime inspiration. The beginning of a new season is a perfect time to refresh your home decor, and the DIY spring decor ideas in this post will leave you inspired to do just that!
Think fresh flowers, birds, table decorations, spring blossoms, front door decor, and more!
And don’t worry: the spring decorating ideas in this post are surprisingly easy. They’re also affordable, so you won’t break the bank when you refresh your space for the season.
When should I start decorating for spring?
Who cares what “they” say: I say you should start decorating for spring as early as March! (Of course you can start planning your decor earlier than that!)
In many places, March is when the flowers start blooming and the birds start singing. Of course that is NOT the case in Wisconsin where I live, but I choose to follow what’s happening down south when it comes to spring decorations.
Consider it wishful thinking. Maybe if I put out my spring decor, spring will get here early! (Who needs Punxsutawney Phil and his shadow, or lack thereof, anyway?)
How do you decorate for spring on a budget?
As I mentioned earlier, the DIY spring decorations in this post are all budget-friendly, so they’re a great place to start!
And, as a general rule of thumb, here are three ways to decorate for spring on a budget.
First, repurpose things you already have. Use an old watering can as a vase or tie flowers around the base of old candlesticks.
Next, incorporate natural elements you find in the yard (such as flowers and branches), into your space. Fresh flowers and plants, as well as other natural items, instantly add life to any space!
Finally, shopping at Dollar Tree or the thrift store are great ways to decorate for spring on a budget. (You may find my posts on The Best Craft Supplies to Buy at Dollar Tree and Eight Home Decor Essentials to Buy at the Thrift Store helpful!)
