A minimalist approach to Spring decor
Welcome to another Thrifty Thursday. Spring is going to be here soon and if your like me you are feeling the itch to update your home for the season. I am excited to share ideas for a minimalist approach to Spring decor.
Now that we are closer to warmer months, I wanted to share a minimalist approach to Spring decor in your home.
Lately I have really been intentional about what I bring into our home and trying to keep things simple and minimal while also creating a welcoming home.
Minimal touches of Spring
In order to bring in some minimal touches of Spring I first thought about what would create the relaxed feel of the warmer months.
Creating a home that is welcoming to those that enter is important to me and I feel certain it is for you too.
I love the feel of a relaxed, simple style that invites your guest in.
Simple things like adding pops of color, lighter fabrics, scent and even music are essential to creating a welcoming Spring home.
Changing your home for each season is simple when you have neutral tones in your home.
When your base color is neutral (go here for post on using neutrals) it is really simple to refresh and renew your home with a minimalist approach to Spring decor.
Essentials of Spring decor
Adding in little pops of color through the home with pillow covers, books, candlesticks and foraged greenery.
Take a minute to think about what Spring brings to mind for you and implement those things in your home.
When I think about Spring immediately I think, fresh greenery and colored flowers and clean scents.
This is not about spending money on trendy items, rather it is about creating the fresh, lighter feeling that Spring brings.
Simple Spring scents
An easy and minimal touch to bring the feeling of Spring into your home is by using a diffuser.
I do not care for over powering scents and generally prefer essential oils over candles.
Creating a light and airy feel by adding in seasonal Spring scents.
Here is a Spring diffuser recipe sheet you can print out and have at the ready when your wanting the scents of the season.
Use music to create a mood
Spring is such a wonderful time to update your playlist.
Music can evoke so many emotions and change the mood of your home.
Using music as part of your minimalist approach to Spring decor is the perfect thing that takes no physical space.
Here is a list of songs to add to your playlist to help create the Spring mood in your home. These were found on Spotify.

New or repurposed wreath
Creating from scratch or updating an existing wreath for your front door helps to welcome your guest into your home right from the beginning.
In years past I have generally used grapevine wreaths and repurposed them for each season.
This year I wanted something much lighter and more minimal in style.
Here is a sneak peak of the supplies purchased for this wreath.
