Seven Spring Décor Ideas For Your Kitchen

Do you decorate your kitchen for the seasons? Many of us tend to resist decorating the kitchen because we don’t want a cluttered looking space and knick-knacks that may interfere with the regular operations of a busy kitchen. I’m sharing this post with you, Seven Spring Décor Ideas For Your Kitchen, because I want to share my quick and simple ideas for adding spring charm to your kitchen without creating clutter. These ideas are for fresh and pretty additions that are mostly out of the way or can easily be set aside for access to valuable counter space. I’ve used a palette of fresh spring colours to create a light and airy kitchen that hints at the green lawns and blooming gardens of spring.

Choose A Colour Palette

Before we get into my seven spring décor ideas for your kitchen, I want to talk a little bit about choosing a colour palette that evokes spring. My personal preference for spring is to use lots of white and green and choose 2 or 3 additional pastel colours. For my spring kitchen decor this year, I used white and green and added lots of pale yellow. I also added some smaller amounts of pale blue and mint green. I often gravitate towards yellow in my kitchen. If you prefer a more neutral palette, you can replace the pastels with shades of grey or beige. To keep a neutral palette interesting, you will likely need to add a greater variety of textures and shapes.

Budget-Friendly Options

After a few years of spending perhaps too much on decor, I am now in a phase of decorating with less. It’s reminiscent of my early days of decorating when I didn’t have money to purchase fresh flowers or new decor, but I still managed to put a room together nicely. I find that decorating on a tight budget provides opportunities to be more creative and urges me to be more environmentally responsible. So, for all my seven spring décor ideas for your kitchen, I’m sharing ways to achieve these looks on a budget.

Seven Spring Décor Ideas For Your Kitchen

1. Add A Pretty Spring Wreath

I added a handmade garden-inspired wreath above the range hood fan to create a focal point in the kitchen. You can see how I built the custom range hood here. This is the perfect spot to add a wreath, but you could also add smaller wreaths to your kitchen windows or on the backs of bar stools. The colours you use in the wreath will set the colour palette for your spring kitchen and you can repeat the colours and materials throughout the kitchen to create a cohesive look. To create a custom wreath, you can purchase a simple greenery wreath and add floral stems in the colour(s) of your choosing. Thrift stores are a great place to find second hand wreaths that you can use as is or dismantle and upgrade.

2. Add White Flowers

To keep the look light and fresh, consider adding some white flowers like baby’s breath, tulips, and crocus flowers. You can then layer in some flowers in pretty hues if you choose. I recommend using vases in white and cream colours or clear or pastel-coloured glass. Flowers are essential to creating a fresh, spring-like atmosphere. Faux flowers or living plants and potted herbs are budget-friendly alternatives to fresh flowers. Vases and vessels for the flowers can be readily found at thrift stores. I like using baby’s breath because it is easy to dry and can be reused for up to a year.

3. Add Some Pretty Spring Tea Towels

Kitchens are generally comprised of many hard surfaces, so take full advantage of every opportunity to inject some softness and personality through fabrics. Roman blinds, bar stool slipcovers, and tea towels are the most common ways to use fabric in the kitchen. Tea towels are inexpensive and can be purchased new each season. They are readily available in department stores, kitchen shops, grocery stores and more. Tea towels are also very easy to sew if you want a custom look on a budget. I chose these pretty yellow and white gingham tea towels. Repeating the pattern in two places in the kitchen adds a unifying element.

4. Lighten The Floors With A Runner

For me, spring decorating is about creating a light and bright space with soft touches and inspiration from nature. To lighten the look of dark floors, add a light-coloured runner. It’s amazing the effect that this simple change can make. IKEA and Homesense are great sources for economical runners. We have a washable Ruggable runner in our kitchen since there seems to be a cranberry juice or grape juice disaster every second week in our kitchen.

5. If In Doubt, Add Tulips

I have many favourite spring flowers but I think tulips are my favourite, especially when it comes to cut flowers. They can be purchased potted or cut and come in a variety of colours. I typically purchase fresh tulips a couple times each spring from the grocery store or Costco. If you are having visitors, then I find it’s especially worth the small splurge. If you want to display tulips all spring, it might be worth it to purchase realistic-looking faux tulips. I have mine placed in an old Rae Dunn Canister on the counter. If I need more counter space, then the tulips can easily be moved to the kitchen table for a simple centerpiece.

6. Add Some Spring Charm With Pastel Accessories

I have to admit that I adore pastel colours and spring is my chance to use them without shame. All of the soft colours in these Easter eggs are what I’m talking about- soft blues, mint green, pale yellow, and wispy grey. I shared my tutorial on how to create these speckled Easter eggs here. I’ve also used a pretty French blue vessel for my wooden spoons and spatulas and added a cute lemon print in soft yellow.

7. Add A Dash Of Easter

I really like to add a few sweet Easter touches, like ceramic or concrete bunnies, painted eggs, and sweet carrot banners. These little touches are the things that create charm and that children and visitors remember fondly. Spring is definitely a time when a little sweetness is welcome.
