Spring has arrived, at last! This time of year is prime time for refreshing your home to celebrate this sunny season of renewal. There are plenty of easy, pretty, and budget-friendly decorating ideas that can totally transform your space—light lifts that make a big difference—and the bedroom is the perfect place to start.
Swap our linens, quilts, and coverlets for lighter bedding in a springy color palette. Freshen up your bedroom by rearranging the furniture or painting the walls. And is there anything lovelier than waking up to an arrangement of fresh flowers on your bedside table? That’s an easy way to boost your mood and your decor!
Get your primary bedroom, guest bedrooms, and kids’ bedrooms ready for spring with these 8 spring decor ideas that are easy to tackle in a day or less!
Get Ready for Guests
Spruce up your guest spaces for the warmest welcome when company arrives. Make room in closets and drawers for visitors to unpack (remember to pull out the luggage rack!). We love the idea of leaving out a stack of favorite books for nighttime reading.
Throw Open the Windows
It’s finally that time of year where we can let in some fresh air and sunshine! Give windows and screens a quick spring cleaning, so you can fully enjoy nature’s work this magical time of year.
Freshen Up With Flowers
Nothing says spring like fresh flowers snipped from the garden. And don’t sleep on grocery store bouquets—they have come a long way! Split that big bundle into several small arrangements and place on bedside tables in all bedrooms.
Lighten Up the Linens
A fresh set of crisp white sheets and shams evokes the feeling of sleeping in your favorite bed and breakfast. Here in this cottage lake house bedroom, scalloped details add a sweet touch to this charming primary bedroom.
Incorporate Springtime Shades
One of the easiest ways to “spring up” your bedroom is by swapping out throw pillows, lamps, and other decorative accessories in springy hues. Trade heavy, textural items for lighter, more colorful versions.
Repaint the Walls
The power of paint is real! A fresh coat of paint works wonders, like this barely there pink shade (Intimate White by Sherwin-Williams), which acts as a neutral in a bedroom of a Mississippi farmhouse bedroom.
Rearrange the Furniture
Now this doesn’t cost a thing (except maybe a little muscle!). First, orient your ned in the right place. In this farmhouse bedroom, it’s nestled between two windows, creating symmetry and order. Then play around with moving smaller pieces like benches, chairs, bedside tables, and chests of drawers.
Swap Out Rugs
You don’t have to go into full reno mode to make a big impact in a bedroom. We’ve found that a new rug makes a huge difference, like this fun striped one. Even swapping rugs from room to room can be a budget-friendly and easy way to change up your décor.
