4 Tips for Refreshing Your Living Room for Spring

Living Room Refresh Tip 1: Swap out your pillow covers and throws.

Refreshing your space doesn’t require new furniture, a trip to the home improvement store, or even a big budget. For an instant update, try swapping out your toss pillow covers and throw blankets to create a fresh look.

I have a bit of a throw-pillow-cover addiction and love to change them as the mood strikes. If you invest in quality down pillow inserts, then all you need are new pillow covers each season. This cuts down on pillow storage!

New lighting and fresh pillow covers brighten up our television area. I love having plenty of table lamps to complement my overhead lighting. The Marlena Table Lamps are chunky, gorgeous, and complement the driftwood finishes in my living room.

Living Room Refresh Tip 2: Restyle your coffee table with seasonal elements.

I love to restyle my coffee table to reflect each season. If you’re unsure where to begin, grab a pitcher of flowers, a stack of books, and a candle to create an instant vignette for your tabletop.

Here I’m using the Boardwalk Round Tray to corral my accessories and visually break up the expanse of the table.

Artfully arranged objects are always beautiful and provide a great opportunity to bring spring into your space!

Living Room Refresh Tip 3: Bring the outdoors in with natural accents.

Using natural accessories –such as birds’ nests, feathers, flowers, greenery, and antlers—-in your living room is a wonderful way to bring a touch of spring to your space.

Don’t be scared to use high-quality faux flowers and greenery in place of fresh. Technology has come a long way in producing realistic looking greens and flowers. Most of the greens and flowers I used in this refresh are faux!

Living Room Refresh Tip 4: Use decorative plates to create a focal point. 

Decorating with plates is an inexpensive way to create a beautiful focal point in a room. To add a touch of spring to my back wall, I used two sets of the Decorative Nest & Hive Plates.

Tip: Prior to hanging, trace the outline of your plates onto butcher paper and tape the cutouts to the wall with painter’s tape. This allows you to visualize exactly where to place your plates and reduces unnecessary nail holes. Check out my post, How to Decorate with Plates, for more tips!

Nothing quite says spring better than gorgeous bouquets of fluffy pink peonies! The best part of these peonies is that they will last for years to come! Find them here.

  1. Love your home! Did you also buy your sofa at Birch Lane? If so, can you tell me the name/color of the fabric.

    • Hi Valorie,
      Thanks so much! My sectional sofa is the Collins sectional from LaZBoy and it’s buttercream leather. Thanks for stopping by!

    • I found the nesting coffee tables online at Wayfair, but I could not find them on the site. They may no longer carry them.

  2. Looks just beautiful, Beth ! I love the “aerial” picture.. Did you redecorate family members and dogs to match? :)) Hard to believe those peonies aren’t real!! Beautiful job! Are you doing same for summer? I love watching the rooms changing with the seasons!
