Happy FIRST day of Spring! Bring on the warmer days, the rainy Mondays, and the budding flowers. I’m always so ready for a change in seasons.
A few years ago, I wanted to decorate for spring and the only thing that was in my spring decor bin were bunnies. Bunnies are great, but I wanted something more, something different, something else that screamed spring. So I began collecting. Below is a list of several things that you can keep an eye out for, when you are out hunting for spring decor.
Terracotta pots. They don’t have to be used, but if they are, give them a good scrub down and use those weathered babies. Lay them on their side, stack several, or just simply use one by itself. It adds a nice contrast to a shelf, a vanity, or any fireplace mantle.
Greenery. This can be faux or real. I like to mix real and faux, because it makes the faux plants appear real. This tip was given to me by one of my favorite bloggers, Liz Marie. A few faux things I have used this season are green moss, ikea faux plants, and faux Hobby Lobby garland.
- My favorite household plants:
- Pothos plant (seen below), which I snagged from Home Depot for $9.99 and I purchased a few small ones at Trader Joes for $3.99. I tried to purchase ones that were not variegated, which means they had some white mixed in to their leaves. I preferred less variegated pothos.
- Snake plant-Which I also snagged from Home Depot for $9.99. I forget to water this a lot..because it’s tucked away in a corner and this thing is a legit. powerhouse. I read an article that this plant could go 2-3 weeks without water. It doesn’t need a lot of sun either, so if you’re looking for a low maintenance plant, this is it, my friend.
- Fiddle Leaf Fig– I purchased my $12.99 fiddle leaf at Aldi last year in the summer time. Fingers crossed they bring them back again!
- Rubber plant– I love our rubber plant. We have one of these in our dining room (see below) and when people walk in, its always the first thing people ask about. It really is beautiful! My mom nutured this plant, so I can’t take all of the credit for this one. Rubber plants love a lot of sunlight, so as long as you have a good window or two, you should be good to go!
- Pilea plant-I don’t have this one yet, but it is next on my list to purchase. These plants are known for its cute coin-shaped leaves. It is in the succulent family, is low maintenance and is a great plant for beginners.
- Start to keep your eye out for these plants at your local farmers markets!
Finally, bring the rustic on in. Here is a list of some of the vintage spring decor pieces that can become a statement in your very own home. Ask family members, hunt these down at your local thrift store, go to your local antique mall, or head to a nearby estate sale, to see if you can score any pieces below:
