6 Spring Décor Trends That Will Refresh Your Home for the Season
The beginning of spring signals the start of warm weather, picnics in the park, and growth—and we don’t just mean the budding flowers. The coming months are all about new beginnings, so while spring cleaning your home, consider other ways to refresh your space too. There are so many easy ways to breathe in new life to your décor, especially after the long, drab days of winter.
To offer some guidance, we asked interior designers to share some of their favorite spring décor trends for 2024. Let their expertise inspire a spring home refresh that signals the start of all the good things to come.
Real Plants, Florals, and Fruit
FRANK FRANCES STUDIO
When you think of spring, flowers are likely the first image that comes to mind, and for Meredith Huck, owner and principal designer of House of Huck, plants are at the forefront of design this season. "We're seeing less faux and more real—and we love it!" says Huck. "Adding bold color through simple décor pieces like fruit in a bowl or decorative elements on a shelf is an easy way to add life to an old space."
Vintage Pieces
JOE SCHMELZER
Pre-loved furnishings have been growing in popularity, and while antiques are beautiful additions all year round, vintage pieces paired with neutral color palettes are ideal for spring. "I love the return to using more found pieces in spaces with the incorporation of earthy colors," says Katie Winnington, principal designer for C&E Furniture. "There is something so beautiful about incorporating pieces that have a history into a space that gives it such a special feel."
Colorful Tablecloths

Kristine Renee and Deborah Costa of Design Alchemy are all about tablecloths for spring. "Layering a colorful dose of fabric to your tablescape is an instant mood booster and a great way to welcome in the season," they say. "Tablecloths are not just for the dining room—they can also be added to accent furniture for a fresh look. Tailored tablecloths are a quick and easy solution for updating a space for spring while working with your existing furniture."
Fresh, Layered Textures
JOHNNY MILLER
"A spring trend that I am excited about is incorporating patterns and texture onto otherwise neutral spaces to make your space feel fresh and bright," says interior designer Julia Baum. "Changing out pillows is a really easy way to do this and updates your space without buying all new furniture." Baum also suggests choosing a secondary color you may want to incorporate and finding a pillowcase fabric that has that color as a focal point. This will add more dimension to your space while still playing off any neutrals.
Bold Patterns
BJORN WALLANDER
On the other end of the spectrum, bold patterns are a great way to refresh a space for spring. "I'm excited to see the resurgence of checkerboards and stripe patterns," says Naïka André, CEO and principal designer of NJA Interiors. "I love witnessing either pattern incorporated into unexpected spaces." André suggests paying attention to scale when incorporating bold patterns into your home, noting that patterns like these are striking enough to stand on their own. "A wide-striped accent chair and matching ottoman in a reading corner make a great focal point," André says. Consider changing your area rug or adding striped throw pillows for an easy spring fix.
Pared-Back Minimalism
KELLY BROWN
Often referred to as "quiet luxury," this style features more muted and tonal color palettes, swapping patterns for rich textures like wool, boucle, and linen, according to Lauren DeBello, owner and principal designer of Lauren DeBello Interiors. "This look takes a 'less is more' approach to create calming spaces that feel luxe and warm," she says.
