The first day of spring is just around the corner, which means it’s time to say goodbye to winter’s cold embrace, ditch the last dregs of your dusty decor (we see you, withered wreath!), and infuse your space with a breath of fresh air.
While it might not be quite warm enough to throw open the literal windows, that doesn’t mean you can’t bring in a bit of spring in other ways.
This week, we scrolled through Instagram‘s latest and greatest living room looks to bring you five fresh ideas for incorporating springtime energy into your space.
1. Mesh lamp
Spring seems like the perfect season for incorporating more organic looks into your space—especially if they’re as delicate as this whisper-thin mesh lamp from @ninivinterior.
“This light pendant makes the room feel airy and gives an organic feel with the exposed frame,” says designer Malak Bellajdel. “The mesh isn’t too overpowering and will also cast a nice shadow on the space.”

2. Minimalist statuettes
We love baby chicks and bunnies as much as the next person, but less is more when it comes to these sometimes overpowering traditional springtime looks. Just take note of this elegant, understated design from @myhom_eismycastle.
“These minimalist statues are perfect if you still want to have seasonal decor that will fit within your aesthetic,” says designer Amanda Foster. “It’s a cool, sleek decor option that won’t stick out like a sore thumb. You can keep these up year-round as they’re neutral enough to blend with regular decor.”

3. Potted mini garden
Are you sick of buying grocery store bouquets that last only a day before drooping?
Skip the botanical drama this spring, and opt instead for your living display of tulips, hyacinths, or daffodils with a pot or two of bulbs, as we see in this look from @husihagen.
“Potted bulbs are the perfect way to bring nature inside,” says Foster. “Not only are they gorgeous and low-maintenance, but the options are endless for the shape, size, and color of the pot you choose. Bringing nature inside is proven to bring a little joy to your space.”

4. Tulip-red couch
Vivid hues can enliven any living room after a long gray winter—just take a look at this tulip-red couch from @lebaneseindc.
“This piece is a focal element in the room that works well even as a stand-alone statement,” says Bellajdel. “The color is perfect for the spring season and doesn’t require any accessories. Everything else around it simply fades into the background.”

5. Botanical paisley throw pillows
If you’re not quite ready to upgrade your sofa, you can still opt for a bit of springtime feels with these botanical paisley throw pillows from @erin.evolving.
“There are so many ways one can bring botanicals into a space, and textiles are one of my favorites,” says Foster. “You can go bold, but the subtle variety is especially versatile. With a small-scale print in just two colors, the effect is almost neutral. Pair with plaids, stripes, or larger prints until your heart’s content.”
Get the look: Add some botanical goodness to your home by mixing and matching patterns like this Reilley embroidered pillow and this William Morris antique acanthus floral throw pillow.
