Cottage Style Spring Decorating Ideas
Spring is finally here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with cottage-style decorating!
The long, dreary winter is finally behind us, and the world outside is bursting with new life. Redbud and cherry trees are blooming, while daffodils are popping up all over town—it’s such an exciting time of year, isn’t it?
Today, I’m sharing a collection of easy, inspiring spring decorating ideas that combine the charm of updated cottage-style with a touch of tradition.
Whether you’re looking to bring fresh color into your home or simply update your cozy spaces, there are plenty of ideas here that you can easily incorporate into your own home.
So, if you love cottage-style, come on in and take a look!
This welcoming style is all about mixing real and faux greenery with soft shades of white and warm wood tones, especially for spring.
Nature does such a beautiful job of decorating with these same colors this time of year, so I’ve done my best to bring a bit of the outdoors in.
If spring hasn’t quite arrived where you are yet, or if there’s still snow on the ground, now is the perfect time to add a little life and cheer to your home.
Spring Cottage-Style Dining Room
Let’s kick off the tour with ideas for bringing spring into a cottage dining room.
Adding touches such as a fun DIY moss bowl and a couple of glass hurricanes to the table, creates a simple yet elegant centerpiece. It’s all about keeping things fresh and simple. I love how these elements bring a touch of nature indoors.
While I still firmly believe in the magic of layering to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere, this cottage look is a bit more minimalist.
Think of it as layering, but with fewer pieces to let the natural beauty of the season shine. No more cluttered surfaces—just simple, thoughtful details that make the space feel calm and welcoming.
Cottage-Style Spring Family Room
Our living room/family room fireplace is one spot that always gets a seasonal update, no matter the time of year or holiday.
While I don’t typically change what’s hanging above the mantle with every season, I’ve switched it up a few times over the years.
To enhance the cottage vibe, I love the round mirror with a thick natural fiber wrapped around a metal frame—it adds such a fresh, rustic feel.

With Easter just around the corner, you’ll notice a few bunnies here and there—just enough to capture the essence of the season without going overboard.
Other than a few bunnies and a special Easter tablescape , that’s about as “Easter” as things get around here.
If you know me, you know I have a long-standing love affair with these little cuties, so they always find their way into my home, both indoors and out!
And of course, no spring display would be complete without touches of greenery, a few nests, birds, and birdhouses tucked in here and there—these are some of my favorite seasonal touches!
Spring Cottage Breakfast Room
A cottage-style breakfast nook is such a cozy spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or a light meal.
This is one more spot where I added a favorite bunny. Isn’t he just the cutest thing?!?
I love his fat, squatty little body and look at that precious face!
Here’s an inspiring idea for a great cottage’y spring centerpiece for the middle of your table.
Don’t forget about adding a few cottage touches to your kitchen!
Kitchen counters are valuable real estate when it comes to seasonal decorating.
I hope these cottage-style spring decorating ideas inspire you to refresh your home with the beauty of the season.
Whether you’re adding simple touches of greenery, switching up a few accessories, or creating cozy nooks, this cozy style goes hand-in-hand with bringing a bit of nature inside.
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope your home feels as refreshed and vibrant as the season itself. Happy decorating!
I love all your Spring touches and greenery! The moss bowls are stunning! I love them both so much! I also love your simple layers, all so classy and perfect for the season!
Thank you so much, Kristin! Those moss bowls are so fun to make.
Love all your spring touches, Suzy. I adore your dining room and its fun chandelier. I need to try making one of your moss bowls – I need something for my coffee table and one of these would be perfect.
Thank you, Jennifer. Those moss bowls are so fun to make. I could easily go overboard with them. 🙂
Suzy,
It looks beautiful, as always! Did I miss a post about a new dining table and chairs? This is on our “projects” list this year.
Have a great day!

Hi Christy. Thank you! No, you didn’t miss a post about the dining table. I just haven’t done an official share post yet. I’m hoping to get a new rug in there before too long and then I’ll do a post about the updates in the whole room.
Everything looks so fresh and lovely. I adore the pops of green. Such a peaceful and inspiring tour!
Thank you so much, Laura! Green is my go-to color this spring.
Such a pretty tour! I’m loving your open shelves so much. You have the perfect mix.
Thank you, Julia! I’ve lost count of the number of times that I’ve redecorated those shelves over the years. lol
Suzy I always look forward to seeing your home and how you decorate. It is always so inspiring. I need to look at your tutorial and make one of those moss bowls, yours are amazing. I also drooled over the tulip arrangement in your dining room. Thanks so much for joining the tour this season, your home is always a delight.
Thank you, Marty! I always enjoy your tours. As always, you have a wonderful group of participants. So much talent out there!
I love all the green, Suzy! It’s so great to bring the outdoors in this time of year! Beautiful tour!
I always, always love you home and everything you do!
That tulip arrangement is so beautiful, and the wood bowl is so pretty.
Love the bunnies, and both your tables look fantastic!
Happy Springtime Suzy!

Happy Spring!
I love all the natural elements you’ve added throughout your home. Your dining room is simply fabulous, but so are the other rooms. Can’t wait to see what you’re going to do in your breakfast area.
I really like that you returned to your roots of cottage traditional with American farmhouse touches as I most identify with that too. I’m a woman of a certain age with a lifetime of collecting having gone through many different styles over the decades and I like what I like. Your color story really resonates with me this season and I’ll be pulling a lot of inspiration from your home. Thank you.
P.S. I love the blue Sadie table and wouldn’t change the color! It’s lovely, rich and charming.
As always, your home is stunning! I love how you brought the outdoors in and your perfect mix of real and faux!
🙂 Linda
Everything looks so lovely, Suzy! I especially loved the bowl full of tulips! Happy Spring!
Just lovely! I like your new look but please don’t paint the little blue table….It has so much personality! I always look for it in your posts!
