Spring Room Decor: Easy Ways to Add Spring Cheer to Your Kitchen
In this post: If you’re looking for spring room decor ideas, here are easy inexpensive ways to add spring cheer and color to your kitchen.⇒
How many of you thought I was crazy when I started removing all the color from my rooms and switching everything to white?
Be honest now.
Did you think I lost my zest for life? Chosen to live a colorless existence?
Not so fast! Let me be the first to assure you, with my love of flowers, that could never happen. But the truth is, neutral rooms, particularly all white rooms, are the easiest rooms to add seasonal color to.
Which brings me to adding spring color to my white kitchen…
Spring Room Decor
As the heart of the home, the kitchen is the perfect place to celebrate the joyful tones of spring. A white kitchen functions as a blank canvas, allowing the vibrant colors of any season to take center stage. This flexibility means you can easily transform your kitchen’s look with just a few simple updates, making it ideal for hosting a cheerful splash of spring color without committing to permanent changes.
Whether it’s through lush floral arrangements, colorful kitchen accessories, or seasonal decor accents, a neutral kitchen provides the foundation for allowing those spring hues to uplift our daily lives.
Let’s look at how you can embrace the spirit of spring and bring a fresh look to your kitchen with some fun and easy updates.
1. Bowl of lemons
What could be sunnier than a silver bowl full of lemons? Throw in a few limes, all the better. I love to decorate with food, and citrus fruits practically sing spring and summer. They don’t need to be refrigerated and add a wonderful pop of color to your kitchen counter. They are also among the cheapest ways to decorate! With their vivid hues and refreshing aroma, citrus fruits bring a note of the outdoors in, creating a happy and inviting atmosphere.
2. French tea towels
I’m crazy about these cotton French tea towels and have collected them for years. I even once made cafe curtains out of them!
You can elevate your kitchen’s springtime charm with tea towels adorned in delightful patterns and vibrant hues. Whether draped over the oven handle or neatly folded on the countertop, these stylish accents can infuse your space with a touch of French flair and pleasant seasonal color.
3. Spring flowers
This one is a no brainer and yet it bears mentioning. I’ve intentionally chosen the 3 most iconic spring bulb flowers that I immediately associate with the beginning of spring. Yellow daffodils, pink tulips and grape hyacinths. The aroma is heavenly and they are as cheerful as you can get. Tucked in little green mason jars for a fun presentation, I can’t help but smile when I walk past them.
Brighten up your kitchen with the enchanting beauty of spring flowers, bringing the garden into your home. Place a bouquet of fresh blooms on the dining table or counter, adding an intoxicating burst of fragrance and cheer. Seasonal blossoms instantly brighten the ambiance, creating a welcoming atmosphere while you to putter about your kitchen.

4. Aromatic hand soap
This is another item I keep around for the simple pleasure it adds to my day. Sometimes I wash my hands, just because I want to enjoy the scent of the soap. I use many different varieties, but lately I’m crushing on L’Avant Collective’s Fresh Linen, as well as a broad range of options from Antica Farmacista.
Invigorating scents like citrus, lavender, or mint add a lovely freshness to your kitchen work area. In addition to keeping hands clean, the heady fragrances fill the air, creating an upbeat and inspiring mood. Displayed in elegant bottles and placed near the sink, aromatic hand soaps will make your ordinary kitchen tasks so much more enjoyable.
5. French market basket
This is a new addition to my repertoire and I am so enjoying it! With pretty dried lavender bunches and a fresh baguette, all that’s missing is a vintage bicycle to ride to a French country market. You might also tuck in a pretty cotton blanket for an impromptu picnic.
Use your market basket to display freshly picked flowers, seasonal fruits, or artisanal bread, adding a touch of rustic elegance to your cooking space. With its classic design and practical versatility, this timeless accessory not only enhances your kitchen decor but also serves as a wonderful reminder of a relaxed stroll through a farmers’ market on a sunny spring day.
6. Birds, nests, and branches
The quintessential spring room decor, birds nests are a sweet way to welcome the season. This one, with its fuzzy little chick and petite eggs, is set on a raised bowl with twig legs.
Bring a note of spring into your kitchen by incorporating elements from nature. Try faux branches with blossoms in a tall vase or place birds in a centerpiece arrangement made from moss and twiggy nests. This will be sure to get you in the mood for the coming warm weather.

Pretty! No…I love the all whites. I have been changing over our home to all creams and neutrals for several years now and love adding flowers here and there. Being a little new around here, Love the little chandeliers in your kitchen. Have you mentioned them in a post? I can think of several places to use such cuties. I even have a chandelier in my laundry room 😉 Your style lovely.

Thanks, Shelley!! And yes, I hope you’re right and it stays!!
I just found your beautiful blog through Pinterest tonight. I am going to read it front to back. I’ve already added it to my blogroll to follow. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much, Erin! And welcome!! What a lovely comment… 🙂
Erin,
Lory’s blog will have you changing everything in your home. It is fantastic. However, it may cause a divorce LOL I go to bed at nights dreaming of what I can change to look like hers and over breakfast, I am discussing what I want to do with hubby and he looks at me like I have lost my mind . I think he is afraid to come home at night and see what I have done . But seriously, Lory is a wonderful designer and knows how to incorporate it into what you already have. One day or week, when you have extra time, sit down with a pot of coffee or bottle of wine and start from the beginning 🙂 Have a nice Sunday.
Thanks so much, Kathy, for the vote of confidence… 🙂
Love your renovated white kitchen and added colorful accessories, spring flowers. I live in CT and I get the feeling you live in the Northeast too. Any suggestions for me as to how to buy ranunculus in this area?
Your kitchen is beautiful and you added just the right amount of Spring sheer. Great advice!
Your kitchen is absolutely stunning! Your spring touches bring the perfect pops of color and coziness to the entire space. Thanks for sharing your spring kitchen with us at Merry Monday this week!
Can you tell me where you purchased your wire flower container that says “Fleurs” on the front? You have it on your spring mantle with hyacinths in it.
Sure. I got it at Michael’s but it was a couple of years ago.
I want the candlesticks!!!!! Just beautiful!!!!
Go for it!! I love them too… 🙂
I certainly understand your reason behind having a neutral color pallet, I am of the same mindset! I add seasonal accent colors, but my neutral colors give me a sense of peace in tranquility in a chaotic world. I always look forward to your inspirational decorating blogs! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad the post resonated with you… 🙂
I don’t know why I always neglect to decorate with food! Your post was such a good reminder that it really is one of the easiest ways to add color to a kitchen. We just got our hardwood floors refinished so my decor budget is a bit tight right now, but I definitely have enough to go and buy some citrus and fresh flowers!
Thank you Lori, for such a fun and colorful post today. It added to our beautiful sunshiny day, which we haven’t had too many lately. Such fun, fast, and easy ideas.
