There’s something about the gentle arrival of spring that makes us crave a sense of calm, and revitalised comfort. Perhaps we all simply feel like a fresh re-start after a winter full of cosying up under cocoons of blankets. It’s a season of soft sunlight, fresh blooms, and renewed energy, and so, the perfect time to refresh our surroundings.
But spring home decor doesn’t have to mean chasing trends or buying into short-lived styles. That’s the exact opposite of what we try to curate here at Silver Mushroom. Instead, it’s about embracing timeless touches that celebrate the season while blending effortlessly into your home year-round.
Let’s explore six simple spring decor ideas that will help you bring a touch of the season indoors, without overhauling your entire space.
1. Start with a Proper Spring Clean
It’s cliche, obvious, and the oldest trick in the book. But, there’s a reason why the spring clean is discussed year in, year out! Before you even reach for that vase of tulips or the floral cushions, the most powerful way to welcome the season is with a good old-fashioned spring clean. Organise first, spring home decor second.
Not just a quick tidy-up, but a full refresh. Think decluttering shelves, giving surfaces a wipe-down, and letting natural light and fresh air breathe into musty corners. We haven’t opened our windows all winter either… we don’t judge! This simple act doesn’t cost a thing but can completely shift the energy in your space. Reorganising your living areas helps create a blank canvas, giving you clarity on what to add and how your home might best reflect the lightness of spring.
Decluttering also helps highlight what’s already beautiful in your home, perhaps a wooden lamp you’ve barely noticed, or a treasured bowl that could become a spring centrepiece. The key here is not to strip everything back, but to curate what remains with intention.
2. Bring the Outdoors In with Florals and Fragrance
Spring florals are one of the easiest and most joyful ways to introduce seasonal charm into your interiors. Whether you prefer fresh-cut tulips from the garden or reliable faux blooms, there’s no denying the visual lift a vase of flowers can offer. Faux plants like this Faux Lavender Plant in Pot offer year-round beauty with zero maintenance, ideal for those who want a pop of nature without the upkeep. Whilst lavender is typically associated with summer, it’s never too early to pull it out. And we all know it’s a soothing scent and sight, no matter the season.
Beyond the visual, consider the power of floral scents in your spring decor. A well-placed diffuser can change the entire atmosphere of a room. The Sences Florist Collection fills your home with uplifting, yet subtle floral notes perfect for the season.
Together, florals and fragrance turn even the simplest spaces into spring sanctuaries.
3. Embrace Natural Textures Like Rattan and Wicker
If spring has a texture, it’s surely woven. Wicker, rattan, seagrass, and bamboo - these natural materials bring an earthy warmth and lightness that perfectly complement the season. Whether it’s a round rattan tray like Matilda on your console table or a set of woven baskets by the door, these pieces soften your interiors and invite a more organic feel.
Natural textures are particularly effective in spring home decor because they connect us to the outside world. They're breathable, tactile, and endlessly versatile, whether you use them to display springtime decorations, hold fruit or magazines. They age gracefully too, making them a lasting addition to your decor collection.
4. Curate a Spring-Inspired Coffee Table Display

On the topic of woven basket styling, let’s talk about spring decor coffee table displays. Think of your coffee table as a seasonal storybook, it’s a space to showcase your personal style while adding seasonal flair. A thoughtful spring display might include a woven basket tray like the Nancy Woven Tray Set, a stack of curated books, a floral candle or diffuser, and a small vase with fresh or dried flowers.
The key to an effective spring coffee table is layering: a mix of heights, textures, and soft spring colours. A diffuser such as Sences Alang Alang Verbena adds a citrusy brightness to the air, while books and trinkets tell a visual story. Simple, yet ever so effective when executed well.
5. Switch to Lighter Textiles and Playful Patterns
Spring decor ideas often centre around colour, and for good reason. As nature begins to bloom, soft sages, muted pastels, and creamy organics all feel right at home. The beauty of styling with textiles is that you don’t need to make permanent changes. Swap out heavier winter cushions and throws for breezy linens, lightweight cottons, and fresh patterns.
We’re especially fond of cushions like the Lulu Natural Gingham. Gingham is a timeless pattern that works beautifully in spring and beyond; It’s playful without being overpowering, and neutral enough to mix with other designs. Light cushions, breezy curtains, and tactile throws can work wonders in lifting the mood of a room.
By simply rotating your textiles, you make the space feel brand new without buying seasonal “filler” items that quickly become clutter.
6. Add Fresh Herbs to Your Kitchenside
Nothing says spring quite like the fresh scent of herbs growing on your windowsill. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just dabble with the odd salad, a kitchen herb garden is a beautiful (and practical) addition to your spring home. Herbs like basil, mint, and rosemary not only smell divine, but also add a soft, living element to your decor.
Try potting them in charming sets like the Herbie Clay Pots in Basket. Not only do they look beautiful styled on a shelf or counter, but they also encourage slow, seasonal living - a reminder to pause and snip a little freshness into your meals.
It’s another example of spring decor that goes beyond the visual. This is about how your home feels, functions, and grows with the season.
The Heart of Spring is in the Details
Spring home decor doesn’t require a total home makeover, it’s about finding the joy in small, intentional shifts. From the texture of a woven tray to the scent of a springtime diffuser, every element plays its part in creating a home that feels fresh, lightly cosy, and uniquely yours.
Most importantly, don’t feel the need to chase trends or buy things that only work for one season. Instead, invest in pieces that bring joy all year round, those that you can rework and restyle as the seasons shift. These six spring decor ideas are all about working with what you have, adding what feels right, and creating a space that welcomes the light and life of the season.
