5 Inexpensive Ways to Add Spring Decor to Your Home
Guys, the winter blues are finally fading into the past and the bright spring air is taking its place. Today I am bringing you 5 inexpensive ways to add spring decoration to your home.
I sometimes think that people feel like in order to update or freshen up their home that they need to spend a lot of money or start gigantic projects. This is so not the case. These 5 inexpensive ways are quick and easy updates anyone can add with minimal work.
5 Inexpensive Ways to add Spring Decoration to your Home
- Repaint your front door -10-20 dollars
The entrance to your home is the first impression most people have of your home. If they enter from a drab and lifeless area, their impression might remain the same as they continue through your home. By updating your front door to a new, fresh color you are creating a more inviting entrance as well as a welcoming and beautiful space. You will need less than a quart of paint for this project. You could probably work with a pint if that is available. Here is my quick door update:

- Slipcover your dining room chairs
I have always loved my dining room chairs, but recently I have wanted something lighter and brighter. Purchasing a whole new set of dining chairs can be a rather large investment, as well as a big decision. A quick and inexpensive way to update this room is by covering your current chairs with a beautiful slipcover. I purchased some at Wayfair and I love the way they have completely changed my dining room. Before, dark and cluttered, and now it is light and bright. Give these slipcovers a try in your dining room:

Here are the same chair covers in my dining room. I love the clean and bright update it gives the space.
- Faux plants
I know, I know. Faux plants have had a bar rap in the past, but these days there are some pretty fantastic options. By adding some small faux plants to your rooms, it will brighten it up and give it that “springy” feel that we are all craving at this time of year. Check these awesome plants out:
Here is how I am using some of my faux greenery in my home:
- New pillows/pillow covers
This is something I think we all like to change out often. I recently have stopped buying new pillows as a whole(unless I cannot live without it) and I like to instead purchase pillow covers or make my own from other fabric. My favorite kind to make these days is with painters dropcloth. Adding new light and bright pillows will give your room an instant facelift for merely just a few dollars. Here are a few fantastic pillows and pillow covers:

- New curtains
Sometimes curtains can be quite pricey, but there are some amazing websites that offer inexpensive and beautiful curtains. I also like to look at fabric stores for fabric that I would like to make curtains out of. I recently purchased 2 bolts of ticking stripe fabric from Joann Fabric store and sewed my own curtains for my living room. A little helpful information… this fabric is on sale right now for 5.99 a yard, which is pretty fantastic!
The reason I like to make them myself is that my family room had 10 foot ceilings and it is hard, and very expensive to find the right length. Here are a few great products:

I love the way a good white/sheer curtain can freshen up any room. If you are feeling the dull of winter, refresh with some of these and your room will instantly be lifted up.

I really like the five ideas for refresh ending your house for Spring. I have plans already to paint the front door, and to buy some new faux plants. I will put up some light curtains in a couple of rooms, but covering the dining chairs just seems too expensive, and adds another layer of fabric to absorb heat. Changing out some decorative pillows makes lots of sense. Thank you for your wonderful and practical arrival. Now I have an excuse to tie these projects together.
Thanks! I think covering the chairs is definitely a personal preference. I live in a colder climate so the extra layer is actually more helpful for us. Good luck with your updates. I would love to see them
I love all of these ideas, particularly painting the front door. I know my door definitely needs to be painted.
Thanks so much Angela. Thanks for stopping by!
Great post. I love changing wreaths on the front door. Do you have any tips for keeping the wreath hanger from damaging the top of the door and the door frame?
Thanks so much! The only thing I can think of is maybe some of that self stick foam strips you can use in door jambs? Maybe stick it to the inside and top of the wreath hanger.
All great suggestions. Those curtains with the red flowers make me swoon. They are perfect for spring! You’ll feel like you’re in a garden.
Thank you Mary. I really think just a few inexpensive and simple projects can really transform our homes!
Great tips, Sara! I love the look of the painted door. I think I could benefit from some slip covers on my dining chairs, as well!

Shellie, thanks so much! This is so great to hear! Have a great week!
Hi Sara – these are great ideas. Well done!
Hi Sara, I do thinking painting the front door is a good start.
Just that taking care to pain the whole thing is important. I’ve seen a case or who where they didn’t bother to paint it while it was open and once the door is opened you can see the old color on the edges. Doesn’t look right at all!
Great Post dear.I love all the ideas specially the reprint front door in 10-20$.
Very good post, I really like your ideas to improve without breaking the bank.
