I had this false notion in my mind.

I’ve always thought of spring as a season you don’t really decorate for. I imagined that to be the domain of fall with its pumpkins, and winter with its evergreens, but in my mind, spring reflected the absence of seasonal decor. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Indeed in recent years I’ve celebrated springtime in large part with seasonal flowers, or with Easter-specific concepts. Yet when I sat down to compile my list of spring decor ideas, the varied imagery inspired a list so long, that it evolved into this catalog of over 100 ideas!

Spring decor goes way past flowers, although it does include them too. But also, it comprises a range of motifs including birds, nests, branches, butterflies, eggs, bunnies and frogs. Additionally, there are colors, textures and patterns that are emblematic of the season, so read on for a comprehensive slate of spring decor ideas!
