I’m patiently counting the days until spring. It’s one of my favorite seasons, I live in New England where it seems winter never ends with our endless snow storms and cold grey days. Here comes the sun! The best time to start decorating is about 3-4 weeks before Easter. With the warm weather approaching, you’ll want to start get rid of clutter and start spring cleaning.
Spring Decor Ideas
Decorate With Flowers
Create a beautiful floral arrangement and use it as a centerpiece in your dining room or on your living room coffee table. Flowers add a bright, fresh pop of color to any room. If you don’t want to use fresh flowers try buying and affordable faux floral arrangement and use them in your favorite vase. Add them to a hanging wicker basket or mason jar for a beachy look. Also add floral accents to colorful vases of different sizes and scatter them throughout your home.
Another great idea is to add colorful seashell planters to any space in the home for a coastal feel. You can find this item buy clicking on the link or image below.

Add A Large Piece Of Scenic Artwork
Freshen up your bedroom by adding a large piece of scenic artwork above your your bed or favorite wall. Artwork can bring together the elements of a room by being a focal point, adding color inspiration, and harmony and more. Use coastal scenes of ocean waves in pastel colors to create a peaceful and restful retreat.
Use Natural Elements
Natural elements such as seagrass baskets, coral, and light oak furniture brings the beach indoors creating a calming relaxing environment and a touch of serenity. Using mirrors on your walls can not only reflect the natural light to create a brighter space, but can also make your space look and feel larger.
Create A Seashell Display
Upgrade the coastal feel by displaying your tiny treasures using large glass jars, baskets and bowls. They are great for all seasons and coordinate beautifully with fresh flowers for spring. The perfect look for a coffee table or side table.
Use Decorative Lanterns
Lanterns are great ways to store and display your favorite ocean themed decor. Add sand, seashells and flowers for a fresh look for spring. Fill with colorful starfish and attach a lantern swag to the top of the lantern or add a faux floral wreath to the base.

Did you know that aqua is latin for water? The name is no coincidence with the color. The color aqua soothes your soul and creates an instant sense of home and belonging, but also has the calming effect of the beach. It’s the perfect greenish blue hue for coastal home decor.

It’s no secret that I am completely obsessed with the color aqua. Aqua is the color of the ocean. It’s the perfect calming beachy blue that reminds me of all of my favorite beach vacations. It’s also great for coastal kitchen decor. I love to create mood boards in my free time, plus I love Amazon so I am always on the lookout for the latest coastal home decor finds.
You can add subtle touches of aqua to your kitchen collection, or something like a large buffet or furniture piece for a pop of color to brighten up a beachy kitchen.

Hey Y’all, can you believe it’s almost Fall? Haha I have always wanted to say that but seriously, it seems like summer only lasted about 10 minutes. I am so excited to begin the Autumn season! I’m so ready to start decorating for Fall because here in Connecticut we have had such a stormy, rainy summer. Despite the humid summers, Fall in New England is one of the prettiest places to be.
Fall Decorating Ideas for a Beautiful Autumn Season
Our quaint little coastal towns against the backdrop of beautiful Fall foliage makes it one of the most beautiful destinations. Although the beaches are my favorite, I am patiently waiting for the cooler days of Autumn. You can hop in your car and take a scenic drive where you’ll find the brightest of yellows, oranges, and reds on nearly every highway and country road.
