Crisp weather, new blooms, and bright mornings—spring is officially here. To help bring the season’s essence into your home, we prepared a guide on how to decorate with the best spring colors, pair them with other shades, and incorporate them into your décor.
What Are Spring Colors?
Nature’s vibrant and fresh hues as it transitions from winter often inspire springtime colors. Soft pastels like baby blue, mint green, and blush pink mirror the early spring flowers and clear skies. Meanwhile, sunny yellows and lush greens are popular colors representing the season of new beginnings.
Pink Spring Color Palette
Add a touch of dreaminess to your living spaces with versatile pink shades that match the season.
Blush
Consider a natural look by pairing pale pink with white as a transition shade and sage green as a complementary color. For example, go for light pink roses and blush tulips, then add eucalyptus leaves and green berries for balance.
Hot Pink
Usher in the vibrant season with a color palette that features bright hues. Begin with a bold hot pink statement piece, and then select mauve pink shades such as mulberry and plum as accents. Alternatively, use red-pink or red-orange colors like rose and coral to round out this striking palette.
Purple Spring Color Palette
For a unique theme, consider shades of purple rarely found in nature to an enchanting feel to your spring décor.
Lavender
Pair soft colors like lavender and lilac with white to create a relaxed, calming aesthetic that matches the season’s weather. Meanwhile, combining lavender and pale pink adds a burst of color to your space without being overpowering.
Magenta
Flowers in magenta can add a pop of color to your space. To tone down its intensity, complement it with lighter shades like periwinkle or sage green. Incorporating off-white can also help achieve a more balanced look.
Insider’s Tip
Place a spring wreath on your front door, then flank it with matching potted flowers or topiaries for visual interest.
Orange Spring Color Palette
Brighten up your home this spring with orange—a color that blends the charm of red and yellow. When paired with the right shades and hues, orange is perfect for spring and summer.
Light Peach
A light orange shade complements similar hues, such as quartz and dusty rose. You can also pair it with ivory and cream to create a monochromatic effect.
Coral
Decorate your spaces with coral and scarlet hues for a bolder theme. This gradient brings the sun's colors into your space and lightens the mood of your home.
Blue Spring Color Palette
Splash some color to your home with an ocean-inspired palette. Blue is a striking hue that can create an eye-catching décor when used on artificial spring flowers. To create contrast, pair azure, turquoise, and aqua with neutrals such as white and cream or yellow and orange. Alternatively, you can opt for a monochromatic look using light to dark shades of blue.
Insider’s Tip
Set up throws and pillows in the season’s colors for your outdoor lounge area. Use the same color palette as your garden or interior décor.
Yellow Spring Color Palette
Enjoy the playful side of spring with this sunny color. Bright yellow complements orange and amber, adding a warm touch to the unpredictable spring weather. For a more subtle display, pair a pastel yellow with other neutral hues so that the little pops of yellow serve as an accent instead of taking the spotlight.
Green Spring Color Palette
As spring is a season of new beginnings, decorating with green hues is a great idea. Its abundance in nature also makes it easy to pair with other colors. For a classic look, consider using different shades of green. Opt for a palette that includes green and brown to achieve a rustic, earthy feel. If you prefer a strong contrast between colors, try incorporating green and white into your décor.
Insider’s Tip
Complement your outdoor greenery with string lights and lanterns to add a magical glow to your space.
White Spring Color Palette
Adding white to your spring décor can bring a refreshing change to any room. Its light and airy feel can make the space look brighter and more open. You can also pair it with pops of spring colors through accessories or floral arrangements to create balance. This classic hue can enhance the overall aesthetic of your home while seamlessly blending with vibrant shades of the season.
