Spring decor ideas focus on giving your home a spring clean and refresh for the new season.

Of course, spring color ideas will always be dominated by soft pastel tones. But none has quite seen the popularity in recent years as the warming, delicious tones of butter yellow. Set to be one of the defining colors of spring 2025, butter yellow brings a soft, sunlit warmth to interiors.
‘We are in love with butter yellow,’ says interior designer and co-founder of House of Hive, Kailee Blalock. ‘We’d love to see this incorporated into sofas, accent chairs, pillows – really any upholstery, for spring 2025.’
Michelle Murphy, founder of DEMI RYAN agrees, saying: ‘Earthy pastels like sage green, peach, and butter yellow bring warmth and optimism, while floral and botanical prints – whether on wallpaper, pillows, or table linens – add a nature-inspired touch.’
To introduce this hue into your home, you can start small with accessories or really lean into decorating with yellow with wall paint or a butter yellow kitchen. ‘Layering soft, sun-kissed hues like buttery creams, warm terracottas, and muted celadons into your space can instantly evoke the shift in seasons without feeling overly themed,’ suggests Vyanca Soto, owner and principal designer at Market Studio Interiors.
Square Pillow Big Stripe with Ruffle
Ruffles, yellow, and stripes – this square pillow, designed by Shea McGee for Target, couldn’t tick any more boxes. Simply throw it onto your favorite chair or couch for some fresh spring energy.
If you’re tempted to go all in with the butter yellow trend, Hay by Farrow & Ball is one of the warmest and earthiest yellows out there. It is both soft and packs a punch, and looks great with other dusty hues like Matchstick, Cord, and New White.
Dusty Yellow Cotton Twin Duvet Cover Set
High street label H&M are great at jumping onto new trends and bringing them to your door in a budget-friendly package, like this dusty yellow duvet cover set that will give your sleep space a spring bedroom refresh.

Spring is the season where all our senses really come alive again after a long, hard winter so if you’re looking to design a home that is soft on the senses, might we suggest sense-scaping?
‘Sense-scaping focuses on engaging all five senses to create cohesive and inviting spaces and has always been an integral part of thoughtful design,’ explains designer Portia Fox. ‘This spring, the concept has been more clearly defined and its benefits fully appreciated. Fragrance plays a key role, so we like to work closely with clients to select scents that complement the purpose of each room while creating a seamless flow throughout the home. Seasonal adjustments are another important factor, with lighter, refreshing fragrances in warmer months and richer ones in winter.’
‘Textures also play an essential part in sensory design. From the softness of a throw blanket to the richness of patinated furniture, tactile contrasts add depth and interest,’ she continues. ‘Layer lighting to suit various moods and times of day, and blend natural light with ambient, task, and accent lighting to create spaces that feel warm and adaptable. Even the choice of colors and artwork should be intentional, with hues and pieces selected to enhance the mood and energy of spring.’
Designed to make you smile, this ‘Good Morning’ wall art was designed by illustrator Nephthys Foster who is a London-based contemporary artist known for paying homage to life’s cherished moments in a playful manner.
Loewe Perfumes Home Fragrance – Cucumber
To understand this scent you have to smell it, but boy, does it feel like a spring breeze. Fashion label Loewe’s cucumber home fragrance claims to be both fresh and revitalizing and it does just that and more. Spritz all round the house.

As the weather warms up, we all want to be spending more time outdoors. The trend for blending the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living to create transitional spaces in the home is gaining momentum this year. Think sunrooms, mud rooms, or even garden room ideas that help to connect your home with the nature outside.
‘A growing trend this year is the addition of specialist spaces, particularly flower rooms,’ notes interior designer Lauren Gilberthorpe. ‘For those without the space for a dedicated room, small design updates can transform an area into a functional, hobby-focused space.’
‘Open shelving for pots and vases, a designated spot for muddy wellies near the back door, and easy-to-access storage for gardening tools can make all the difference in creating a home that supports everyday life in spring,’ she adds.
4. Playful tile

While you might not associate tile with spring, from bathrooms and laundry rooms to kitchens and boot rooms, tile plays a huge role in updating a space and giving it a total facelift. And one of the biggest tile trends we’re seeing in 2025 is designers craving playful, joy-provoking colors and layouts.
People are looking to inject joy into their interiors, and tile is a fantastic way to do that. Sure, it’s a practical material, but it also offers an opportunity to have fun with color, texture, and layout.
Interior designer Holly Vaughan, who designed the vibrant green kitchen above with a checkerboard zellige backsplash says: ‘Flowers, colorful zellige tiles, and plenty of vintage knick-knacks work all year round but feel especially sunny in spring.’
‘Checkerboard tiling remains a classic, but the key is restraint – used thoughtfully, it can add impact without overwhelming a space,’ adds Lauren.
5. Mix of old and new

Spring always inspires a sense of reinvention, and that applies to interiors too. By decorating with vintage, storied pieces and a mix of contemporary elements, you create a home that feels both rooted and refreshed.
Whether that’s introducing a weathered wooden table into a sleek, modern dining space or styling a contemporary sofa with vintage side tables, this trend is all about balancing character with clean, updated design.
‘Spring decor in 2025 is all about fresh, airy spaces with natural textures, soft color palettes, and a mix of vintage and modern elements,’ says Michelle Murphy.
‘Layering lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton keeps spaces feeling breezy, and organic materials like rattan, cane, and unfinished wood continue to trend,’ she continues. ‘For a bold statement, mixing classic spring motifs with unexpected contemporary details, like sculptural vases or abstract art, keeps the look fresh and current.’
6. Flowers and foliage

Now it simply wouldn’t be spring if we didn’t tell you to focus on bringing in some fresh flowers and foliage into your spaces. ‘Fresh flowers and oversized greenery remain key styling elements, bringing life and vibrancy indoors,’ adds Michelle.
‘Florals, of course, will always be a staple, but in 2025, it’s all about artistry over abundance,’ says Vyanca Soto. ‘Think asymmetrical, Ikebana-style arrangements or a single oversized bloom in a hand-thrown vase. And don’t overlook scent, bringing in fresh citrus or herbaceous elements like basil and bergamot through candles or diffusers can make a space feel instantly invigorated.’
‘Spring decor in 2025 is less about swapping everything out and more about curating an environment that feels light, airy, and full of understated charm,’ Vyanca adds. Whether through real plants, floral prints, or sculptural branches, incorporating organic elements will instantly lift a space.

If you’re looking to refresh your interiors for the new season ahead, let these trends inspire you to experiment, mix, and layer with confidence. Whether you go all in on a bold color update or simply introduce a few sprigs of seasonal greenery, the key is to embrace the spirit of spring – light, lively, and full of joy.
