Welcome Spring with Fresh & Fun Ideas
March is that in-between month where we start dreaming of warmer days, bright colors, and fresh beginnings. After months of cozy hibernation, it’s time to shake off winter and welcome spring with open arms! Whether the weather is cooperating or not, there are plenty of ways to bring a little spring into your home, wardrobe, and daily life. Let’s celebrate the new season with simple, joyful ideas.
Refresh Your Home for Spring
After months of heavy blankets and winter decor, a little refresh can make your space feel light and bright again.
- Bring in Fresh Flowers and Greenery – A simple vase of tulips, daffodils, or a potted plant instantly makes a room feel like spring. No fresh flowers? A botanical print or floral pillow can do the trick too. (Check out my hand-illustrated home decor to bring the season indoors!)
- Let in the Light – Open up the curtains, clean the windows (ugh, but worth it), and swap out darker textiles for airy, light colors.
- Swap Your Wall Art – Rotate out wintery prints for something bright, floral, or full of color. (Browse my spring-inspired wall art to freshen up your space!)
Embrace the Changing Season Outside
Even if it’s still a little chilly, getting outside is one of the best ways to shake off winter.
- Take a Spring Walk – Notice the first buds on trees, listen to birds chirping, and soak up those longer days.
- Visit a Farmers' Market – Fresh produce, flowers, and handmade goods make for a fun weekend outing.
- Plant Something New – Whether it’s a garden bed, a window box, or just a kitchen herb pot, getting your hands in the dirt is a great way to welcome spring.
Celebrate with Seasonal Traditions
March is a month of fresh starts, so why not add some fun seasonal traditions?
- Spring Cleaning... but Fun – Play your favorite music, light a fresh candle, and tackle one small space at a time.
- Brighten Up Your Recipes – Swap out heavy comfort foods for fresh, citrusy, or herb-filled dishes. Lemon bars, a fresh salad, or even a simple herbal tea can make it feel like spring.
- Get Creative with a Spring DIY – Try painting flower pots, making a nature-inspired garland, or decorating Easter eggs early.
Look Forward to What’s Next
March is all about new beginnings, so it’s a great time to plan for the season ahead.
- Plan a Spring Getaway – Even if it’s just a weekend trip, having something to look forward to makes the season even sweeter.
- Host a Spring Gathering – Invite friends for a casual brunch, a garden-themed get-together, or even just an outdoor coffee date.
- Make a Spring Bucket List – Jot down a few things you’d love to do this season—hike a new trail, visit a flower farm, try a new spring recipe, or explore a new town.
