Updating Your Seasonal Decorations? How & When To Transition From One Season To The Next

From Winter To Spring

Decorating in early spring can be tricky when you’re still in between seasons – snow on the ground one day, and the sun’s out on other days. Try these easy switches to welcome springtime into your home:

• Brighten your space with floral elements like potted foliage, window boxes, and hanging plants.
• Swap wool blankets, rugs, and throw pillows for lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen.
• Don’t forget your outdoor area – replace your winter swag with a flower wreath or garland.

March Decoration Ideas

This month is a great time to put away your Christmas decorations and embrace the new season. Here are some March decorating ideas:

• Pastel colors are perfect for early spring decorations. Accentuate with baby blue, light peach, or lavender shades.
• Incorporate Easter decorations if observing the holiday. Showcase pastel eggs, bunny figurines, and decorative baskets to add a festive touch to your exterior areas.
• Swap out cinnamon and vanilla-scented candles for refreshing scents like citrus and florals.

From Spring To Summer

As temperatures rise in early to mid-June, it’s time to transition from spring to summer home décor. Here are ways you can add touches of the sunny season to your living space:

• Use vibrant colors like yellow, orange, and light blue in throw pillows, area rugs, and other room accents.
• Create a cheery atmosphere with a wreath, garland, or vase of flowers placed in a focal point.
• Incorporate bright, floral textiles to capture the peak of summer’s beauty.

August Decoration Ideas

As the month marks the subtle shift from summer to early fall, consider integrating warm hues and late-summer motifs into your décor for August. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:

• Add elements inspired by late summer’s landscape, such as golden wheat accents or décor in deep green and amber shades.
• Display wooden accessories and earth-toned throw pillows for a rustic touch.
• For outdoor celebrations, reuse winter string lights and hang them around your al fresco dining area to complete the summer night mood.

From Summer To Fall

For fall home décor, we suggest starting in late August or waiting until the leaves change colors in September or October. Timing your decorations can be tricky, so we’ve created this guide:

• Highlight the oranges, browns, and reds of autumn foliage into your home through wreaths and greenery.
• Incorporate elements celebrating a bountiful harvest, such as pumpkins, apples, and fall leaves.
• On your front door, switch out your bright florals with fall swags and potted flowers.

November Decoration Ideas

Now that Halloween is over, you can start preparing your home for late autumn and Thanksgiving. This month is also a transition period between fall and winter, so use pieces that complement both seasons:

• Warm up spaces with plush area rugs, throw pillows, and bedding.

• Use scented candles or oils with hints of apple, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice.

• Decorate a fall flower arrangement with mini pumpkins, pinecones, and apricots to create depth and dimension.

From Fall to Winter

Late November is a good time to transition your home decorations for the merriest time of the year. Check out these tips for your holiday décor:

• Select a decorating theme like traditional reds and greens, modern metallics, or French country. Use elements that complement your chosen theme for a cohesive look.
• Display candles and lanterns in groups of different sizes to make a room feel cozy. Decorate the porch or patio with outdoor-safe greenery and lights to make sure they last throughout winter.
