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

In this charming Ohio ranch house, the vintage tole light fixture and wallpaper featuring birds, butterflies, and botanicals are a true nod to the season.

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

In this bedroom, simple white shades with a curvy detail easily pull down at night for privacy. During the day, they pull up to reveal stunning pastoral views.

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

When choosing flowers, pick blooms in colors that complement your bedroom’s decor palette.

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 quilt folded at the end of the bed is smart for those cool spring nights. We especially love this mint and white basket quilt for its graphic punch.

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

Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns (florals, stripes, and gingham), so long as the color palette is kept tight.

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

When rearranging furniture, take time to clean the floors and baseboards under and around all pieces.

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

Pro tip: Remember to rotate rugs regularly so they show less wear and last longer!

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.
