I’m more than ready to say goodbye to the cold and welcome in a new season, so I’m looking for ideas to refresh my home with plenty of greenery. The Christmas and winter evergreens—cedar, holly, and pine—have been packed away until next year, making room for softer, lighter, and more cheerful touches.
This is the time of year when you’ll find greenery in just about every corner of my home. I use a mix of fresh and faux plants, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether it’s a potted plant on a side table, a wreath on the door, or a few sprigs tucked into a centerpiece, greenery adds the perfect springtime feel to any space.
True fact: No matter if it’s real or faux, I’m a firm believer that adding a touch of greenery to a room brings it to life!
SIMPLE GREENERY DECOR IN THE FOYER
Since I have a rather small foyer and there isn’t a ton of space to work with, I keep things on the simple side.
Very simple, in fact, since my small chest is the only display space I have in this area. The greenery in this spot consists of just a single boxwood orb in a favorite blue and white bowl.
It’s just enough though, as there are several other touches of green in the artwork and the accessories that make it feel like spring as soon as guests enter our front door.
A SPRINGY GREENERY VIGNETTE IN THE OFFICE
Our home office is located directly through one of the doors in our foyer. I’d like for you to get a little glimpse of life in there as you enter our home as well.
After its makeover, our office looks quite a bit different than it used to, but this little vignette still looks mostly the same.
A brass planter holds two smaller potted plants and a bowl holds a variety of orbs – some have been left natural and others are covered with moss or greenery.
GREENERY SPRINKLED AROUND THE LIVING ROOM
There are lots of opportunities for decorating with greenery in the living room. This is one of the rooms where I like to use a mix of both live and faux greenery.
I have to gush about one thing though and that’s the frame that we made for the wrapped canvas artwork hanging above the fireplace. It was easy and saved us a few hundred dollars! You can find my step-by-step tutorial HERE.
The mantel is sporting a matching pair of blue and white vases that are filled with some of my favorite faux plant stems of all time. Some have leaves and others do not, which makes it seem like early spring and is a reflection of the current state of the trees outside.
[convertkit form=7598228]The pair of artificial boxwood topiaries in the square white containers are a favorite addition to my stash. They’re so versatile that I’ve moved them to several different locations and can’t decide where I like to use them the most!
Another recent vintage find is the large aged brass urn with knobs on the hearth. It’s holding a large boxwood orb and is a favorite piece.
I have no clue what type of plant is in the wicker container beside the chair, but it’s a quirky little thing and I love its freeform shape! It drinks a lot of water though, so I have to keep a close eye on it.
Foliage naturally has lots of texture, so it makes a great filler. I love to tuck a sprig of greenery anywhere that there’s an empty spot. It’s perfect to use on shelves that don’t get direct sunlight. Plus, it adds a pretty pop of color to draw your eye.
When my living room was decorated in cottage style, I loved using greenery on my upholstered coffee table, where I added a few artificial leafy sprigs in a bowl. For another pop of greenery, I placed an evergreen wreath of preserved boxwood around a candle in an old apothecary jar that’s missing its lid.
When it comes to decorating with live plants, there are two that are my favorites because they can take low light and don’t need a lot of maintenance. One is a pothos, which can take low light, doesn’t like a lot of moisture and you almost can’t kill, even if you try.
The other is a peace lily, which is beside the chair on the other side of the fireplace. A peace lily is happy is bright light or low light. It tells me anytime it needs a drink of water by drooping its graceful arching leaves.
SPRING GREENERY IN THE BREAKFAST NOOK
The breakfast nook is another place where I have greenery spread throughout the room.
Under the chandelier, on the table, I’m used another live pothos in a pretty blue and white porcelain container for a centerpiece.
I have a faux fern sitting on a pedestal in the bay window. Pretty soon the threat of frost will end and I’ll be able to plant flowers in the containers on the deck so that I’ll have a pretty view looking outside this window.
I’ve added more pops of greenery on the sideboard and on the brackets that flank the plate rack. If you look closely, you can see that I’ve also two small little topiaries to one of the shelves.
Decorating with greenery is one of my favorite little tricks for instantly making a home feel fresh, welcoming, and full of life—especially in the spring! Whether it’s a simple vase of greenery on a table, a lush wreath on the door, or a trailing plant on a shelf, adding even a touch of green can completely transform a space.
It’s such an easy way to bring the outdoors in, brighten up a room, and create that light and airy look that’s perfect for this time of year. Plus, whether you prefer fresh clippings from the yard or realistic faux stems, there’s no wrong way to do it.
Do you find yourself adding more greenery to your home in the spring? I’d love to hear how you use it to refresh your spaces!
I love the west you added greenery for Spring. And another true fact is that I agree with you! Whether it’s faux or real, greenery brings a room to life!! Happy Spring friend!

Suzy, what a gorgeous home. That artwork by the stairs, I love all of the colors in it. Those are my happy colors. I am like you, greenery in every room. There is just something beautiful, warm and inviting about using plants or greenery in the home. A trend that simply does not go out of style. Love those blue and white Staffordshire Dogs. I have a vintage pair of brown and white. I would love to snag a pair of the blue and white ones too.
