Inviting Front Porch Spring Decor Ideas

The front porch is one of my favorite spaces to decorate for spring. After our long, cold Canadian winters it’s so nice to add a bit of color and warmth to greet friends and visitors.

Welcoming Front Porch Arrangement

This arrangement for the front porch with some twigs and painted pine cone flowers is the perfect outdoor decor for the in-between winter and summer time. Repurpose an old or thrifted container to hold it all together!

DIY Some High-End Custom Planters

High-End porch planters can be so expensive. Instead, paint a plain plastic container and then embellish it with a fancy decal for elegant, custom decor!

Create Boutique Worthy Wreaths on a Budget

Wreaths are a great way to freshen on the front door for spring. And you don't have to spend a ton to buy a gorgeous luscious wreath: craft this lovely eucalyptus wreath which can adorn your front door well into the summer!

If you have a chair on your porch as we do, you can add a cute spring-themed throw pillow for a soft and cozy vibe. It's the perfect place to sit and watch the neighbors emerge after winter hibernation indoors!

The Welcoming Entryway Spring Refresh

As a family of six our entryway quickly becomes the dumping ground for a million boots, coats, sweaters, bags and more. I love using the changing seasons to refresh and declutter one of the busiest places in our home.

After the clean up there isn’t a lot of decorating to do at our entryway since the space is small. However, I do swap out a few touches to add some springtime vibes.

The Seasonal Wardrobe Swap (Closet Refresh)

Use the changing season to declutter and clean out those closets! Here are some spring closet refresh tips to try:

Take out and donate any winter clothes that you didn’t wear this year: you’re not like to do so no next year either!
Pass along clothing that’s too small or large: there’s someone else who will really appreciate them.
Set your out-of-season pieces to the back of the closet; it’ll make daily decisions much easier to focus on a small set of options.
If shopping for new pieces focus on high-quality, sustainable materials such as cotton, wool and linen. Let’s ditch fast fashion and look to second hand stores for clothing items to re-love!

Add Closet Calm and Order with a Closet Storage Solution

These shelves and racks were a game changer for our small bedroom closet!
