Spring Décor Common Mistakes

When refreshing your home for spring, it's easy to make common decor mistakes that can make your space feel cluttered or mismatched. Here are some home decor mistakes to avoid this spring season: 

Overloading on Pastels

While pastels are great for spring, using too many can make your home look overly sweet or childish. Balance them with neutrals or deeper tones for a sophisticated look. 

Ignoring Natural Light

Spring is all about brightness! Heavy curtains or dark decor can make your space feel gloomy. Swap them out for sheer curtains and lighter fabrics to let natural light in. 

Clashing Floral Patterns

Floral prints are perfect for spring, but mixing too many different floral patterns can feel overwhelming. Stick to one statement floral piece and pair it with solid colors or subtle textures. 

Skipping Seasonal Decluttering

Spring cleaning isn’t just about deep cleaning—it’s also about decluttering. Avoid adding new decor without first clearing out old, unnecessary items. 



Forgetting to Swap Out Heavy Fabrics

Winter fabrics like velvet, wool, and heavy knits can make your space feel stuffy. Replace them with linen, cotton, or breezy textures to match the season. 

Not Adding Greenery

Spring is the season of growth, so don’t forget to add fresh flowers or houseplants! Faux plants can work, but fresh greenery enhances air quality and brings vibrancy. 

Ignoring the Outdoor Space

If you have a patio or balcony, don’t neglect it! Add outdoor-friendly furniture, fresh flowers, and soft lighting to create a welcoming space. 

Going Overboard with Easter Decor

Spring decor doesn’t have to be all about Easter eggs and bunnies. Instead, focus on natural elements, pastel accents, and fresh florals that can last beyond the holiday. 


Using Artificial Spring Scents

While candles and diffusers are great, avoid overpowering artificial floral scents. Opt for natural fragrances like fresh flowers, citrus, or light essential oil blends. 

Neglecting a Cohesive Color Scheme

Mixing too many colors can make your space feel chaotic. Choose a color palette—such as soft blues, greens, or warm neutrals—and use it throughout for a harmonious look.
