Confession: Spring may be my favorite season! It’s a time of renewal and new beginnings (who doesn’t love a fresh start??) Here at Dwell & Gather Interiors, we believe that your home should reflect that fresh energy. The good news is that if you’ve already invested in a beautifully designed space with high-end furnishings, updating your home for the season doesn’t have to require a major overhaul. Instead, small, intentional changes can bring a light and airy feel to your space while maintaining a timeless luxury look.
The Power of a Well-Designed Foundation
A well-designed home gives you a solid foundation that makes seasonal updates effortless. When your furniture, layout, and overall style are already dialed in, refreshing your space for spring is as simple as switching out accessories, textiles, and decorative elements.
Rather than a DIY-heavy approach (which rarely feels as cohesive as we think it will), we recommend focusing on integrating luxurious yet subtle seasonal decor changes that complement your existing look. Decor needs to feel meaningful to your family in every season, and a strong foundation is one of the best ways to make that happen! Think of it as layering the perfect outfit—you’re not replacing your staple wardrobe pieces, you’re adding in fresh details that work with the new season!

Effortless Ways to Refresh Your Spring Home
1. Swap Out Heavy Winter Textiles for Lighter Fabrics
Transitioning from the cozy textures of winter to airy, breathable fabrics is one of the easiest ways to update your home. Consider switching out:
- Heavy knit or velvet throw blankets for lightweight linen or cotton options (because a cozy blanket is always in style!)
- Dark, textured pillows for crisp linen or gorgeous spring-inspired pastel-hued ones
- Winter-themed table runners for breezy, light materials like grasscloth (one of my favorites!)
2. Refresh Your Built-in Shelving and Decor
Your built-in shelves and decorative surfaces set the tone for your home (there’s a reason we always recommend built-ins when designing homes)! Adjusting these elements for spring can instantly brighten your space:
- Swap wintery foliage and dark wood elements for fresh buds and a bit of spring greenery. (Don’t fresh buds just bring that feeling of spring? I love bringing in the buds of whatever is growing outside!)
- Trade out heavy vases for clear glass or light ceramic pieces
- Update artwork with lighter, nature-inspired prints or even a stylish mirror to reflect natural light (a favorite for spring)!
3. Add Statement Accessories & Trendy Pieces
Spring is the perfect time to introduce one or two stylish, trend-forward items into your space. If you’ve already invested in a well-designed home, then you know that your staple pieces- sofa, dining table, and key furniture—are timeless. This makes it easy to experiment with trendy decor accents like a fun, sculptural coffee table centerpiece in a fresh seasonal color! You can also try out new statement lighting fixtures to brighten up for spring, or a unique accent chair or side table to add fresh energy to the space. Little changes like this can make the entire room feel brand new!
4. Refresh Your Dining Table for the Season
Your dining area is an ideal place to showcase seasonal transitions. A beautifully styled tablescape can bring warmth and personality to any space. We recommend layering tablecloths with different textures and adding fun spring items to your table settings (think delicate vases, floral accents, and whatever else catches your eye!)
Of course, adding fresh floral arrangements as centerpieces is a no-brainer. In the wise words of Miranda Priestly: “florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” It’s a cliche spring home decor for a reason!
Another easy swap is to pull out elegant glassware and beautiful spring-inspired ceramic dishes in soft, natural tones. Like these! I was in LOVE with this table we styled in our East Coast Traditional project with all the Spring
5. Rearranging Your Spring Home for a New Perspective
Sometimes, the simplest way to refresh your home is by shifting things around. Repositioning furniture can completely transform a space without requiring new purchases. This is especially true when your home is already expertly furnished and styled!
Consider moving seating arrangements around to optimize natural light, swapping rugs between rooms for a fresh look, or introducing a more open and airy layout.

6. Elevate Your Space with Thoughtful Art & Accessories
Art and accessories should feel intentional and meaningful. In the winter, you may have had moody, atmospheric artwork—now is the time to replace it with lighter, nature-inspired pieces. Swapping out decorative accents like framed prints, mirrors, and sculptural elements can create a fresh, seasonal transformation without an entire overhaul. I’m obsessed with finding the right pieces to make a home uniquely yours and the flexibility to switch it up with each season!
7. Invest in a Spring Home Timeless Statement Piece
If you’re considering a bigger refresh, now is the perfect time to invest in a high-end statement piece that will elevate your home year-round. Whether it’s a designer lounge chair, a custom-made light fixture, or a luxury rug, a carefully chosen investment piece will benefit your space beyond just the season. Need some ideas?

The Advantage of a Professional Designer’s Touch
Spring refreshes become easy when your home has a well-planned design. By working with a professional designer, you create a space that allows for simple seasonal updates without needing a full makeover. With the right foundation, making small changes—like adding floral arrangements, adjusting textiles, or updating accessories—can feel intuitive!
