Spring is the season of renewal and rejuvenation – a time when nature’s vibrant colors reawaken. Spring is also a perfect time to give your outdoor spaces a refresh. Understated, elegant spring decor can do wonders to enhance your home’s seasonal charm. While, over-the-top, tacky decor can seriously detract from it. This post will show you how to nail your seasonal decor to curate the perfect spring aesthetic for your home’s exterior.

Floral Entryway Garland

Incorporating a floral garland into your spring porch decor adds a vibrant and welcoming touch. Choose a floral garland that complements the color scheme of your porch and the overall exterior of your home.

Consider garlands with a mix of spring flowers, greenery, and possibly some berries for added texture. Add string lights, intertwined with the floral garland, for a magical touch. Select soft, warm lights to create a cozy and inviting ambiance in the evenings.

For a more natural effect, you can also grow climbing vines around your front porch for an elegant spring floral display.

Spring Wreaths

Spring wreaths will add a charming and sophisticated detail to your home’s exterior this season. Select wreaths with timeless and classic designs. Avoid overly trendy or seasonal motifs to ensure the wreaths maintain an elegant appeal year after year.

Incorporate wreaths featuring seasonal blooms like peonies, hydrangeas, or tulips for an elegant and timeless look. Choose wreaths for doors and windows that compliment with each other. This creates a cohesive and balanced appearance.

Artful Spring Container Gardens

Create elegant outdoor decor this season with artful spring container gardens. Select a statement plant as the focal point for each container and surround the focal point with complementary spring flowers. Select a variety of blooms in different shapes and heights for visual interest. Stick to a coordinated color palette for a tasteful aesthetic.

Follow the “thrill, fill, and spill” principle. Choose a thriller plant for height, fill the container with complementary flowers and greenery, and allow some plants to spill over the edges for a cascading effect.

Consider adding seasonal accents to enhance your spring container garden, such as decorative birds, butterflies, or Easter eggs. This will add a playful touch to your spring porch decor.

Add chinoiserie accents to your patio for an elegant pop of blue against your colorful spring blooms.
