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 of your spring touches…the bunnies, baskets moss and flowers! Everything is so fresh and cheery!
Your spring home is gorgeous! I love all the touches of greenery, so welcoming and beautiful! Happy Spring! xo
Love all the Spring decor! Suzy, where did you get the sturdy metal woven mirror above your fireplace?
Hi Bobbi. It came from At Home.
Wowza, I love your new spring look! I’ve started pairing down as well. Then I live with it a few days and boom, I find myself adding more stuff! I have to stop that. I like the less is more but can’t seem to control myself!
Looks beautiful! Where did you get the chair by your blue side table?
Thank you! The chair is a recliner from Havertys. Here’s the link: https://www.havertys.com/furniture/emma-recliner
Thank you so much! Your home is beautiful!
Well just look at you, Miss Pare Down and Edit Lady! Love the changes!!
We know that you will pick something beautiful for the dining room draperies.
Can’t wait to see what!
Your home is gorgeous decked out for Spring! I love the woodsy wicker and natural bowls and vases with greenery throughout each space! Would you please give the resource of where you found the round brown and white wicker basket on your side table? It’s stunning!
Thank you so much! I found the basket at Target 2 or 3 years ago. I don’t believe it’s available any longer. 🙁
What a lovely home! Could you share where you found the prints that are hanging above your sofa?
Thank you so much! The prints are from art.com and the artist is Ethan Harper. All four of the prints are from his Impressionist View series.
What a sweet look! I love it! I do a cottage style look, too, and it is such a fun style. I like your chubby, happy bunny so much. I love seeing ideas I can be inspired by on your blog! Keep ’em coming! 😉
where can i get the parcly and herb signs?
I found them at a local home decor shop. I’m sorry, but I can’t get a link for them.
Everything looks lovely and fresh. It is a beautiful, warm home (not a museum). you have beautiful taste. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I’d like to know where you buy all those cute baskets and accessories.
Hi Peggy. I find them all over the place. 😀 Let me know if you have one in particular you’d like to know about and I’ll see if I can be of more help.
I love the light airy feeling. I was wondering how you get the artificial tulips to sit in the wooden bowl in your dinning room. God bless!
That’s a great question! I have a block of floral foam hot-glued into the bottom of the bowl and stuck the tulip stems into that. The foam is easy to break free if I ever want to remove it from the bowl.
You have inspired me! Where did you purchase some of your decorations? I love that chubby bunny!
