Frequently Asked Questions
When Should I Switch From Winter to Spring Décor?
While you can start transitioning in late February, let the weather in your region guide your timing. Southern homes may begin earlier, while northern regions might delay until March when spring feels more imminent.
How Do You Transition From Winter to Spring?
For those short on time, focus on high-impact, quick-change items first: door wreaths, mantel displays, and coffee table arrangements. These focal points create the biggest impression with minimal effort.
What Changes From Winter to Spring?
Beyond décor, consider practical elements like switching out heavier window coverings, rotating area rugs to lighter options, and changing out artwork to pieces featuring brighter colors or spring themes.
What Are the First Signs of Spring in Home Décor?
Look to leading home retailers and decorating magazines in January for previews of spring trends, colors, and patterns. This allows you to plan your seasonal refresh before items become limited in stock.
How Can I Maintain a Cohesive Look During Transition?
Create a seasonal “capsule collection” approach by choosing 2-3 spring colors and repeating them in different proportions throughout your home. This creates both cohesion and interest without requiring a complete redesign.
