As the air warms and nature begins to bloom, spring brings with it a sense of renewal that naturally inspires us to refresh our spaces. At Welcome Home Styling, we believe that your home should reflect the beauty of the season while remaining elegant, functional, and distinctly personal. Whether you’re seeking a light refresh or a full transformation, spring is the perfect moment to reimagine your interiors.
From small changes you can implement yourself to design elements that benefit from the trained eye of an expert interior decorator, Ponte Vedra and Jacksonville-area homeowners can bring new energy into every corner of their home.
In this guide, we’ll share expert tips, approachable decorating ideas, and thoughtful design solutions rooted in our signature home design services. Whether you’re layering in soft textures or rethinking the layout of your living spaces, these fresh interior decorating strategies will help you welcome the season with comfort and beauty.
Embrace Seasonal Color Palettes
Spring is the perfect time to introduce new colors into your space, but it’s not just about pastels. Jessica and the Welcome Home Styling team encourage clients to explore sophisticated hues and, for spring, nature-inspired colors are a great choice. Think sage greens, muted corals, soft violets, and dusty blues. These colors evoke the freshness of spring and create a calming, luxurious atmosphere when paired with timeless neutrals.
An easy way to start is by switching your throw blankets and pillows for fresh spring tones. This simple change can instantly shift the mood of your living room or bedroom. Accent items like table linens and bathroom hand towels can give a fresh look to the dining area and bathrooms.
For a more curated look, our team can create a custom color story for your home, ensuring your spring palette complements your existing furnishings and your home’s architectural details. This level of interior design results in a cohesive, personalized design that feels both intentional and effortless.
Lighten Up Your Layers
Winter often calls for heavier textures like chunky knits and layered blankets. Even Floridians appreciate the opportunity to cozy up by a fireplace every now and then. However, spring invites us to let our spaces breathe with lighter layers and airy materials.
Linens, cotton, and gauzy fabrics offer an elegant way to transition without sacrificing style. If you double-stuff your duvet cover for winter, it’s time to lighten it up. If you want maximum spring style, utilize the duvet cover as a decorative addition to the end of your bed. This adds a light layering touch and elevates the entire look.
Think fresh whites, pale blues, and botanical-inspired prints that bring a sense of calm and renewal to your space. You can also change throw blankets and pillow covers for lighter fabrics in light and bright colors and patterns.
These small, thoughtful updates instantly help your home feel more open, airy, and in tune with the season.
Reconfigure Your Furniture Layout
Spring isn’t just about adding, it’s also about rethinking what you already have. A new layout can make your space feel brand new without buying a single piece of furniture. Repositioning your current furniture can help improve flow, maximize natural light, and create more functional areas, especially in open floor plan spaces.
One way to refresh your space is to bring furniture away from the walls to create more intimate conversion areas. Take a look at the furniture you have throughout your home, and move accent chairs or other furniture pieces from one room to another, or rethink how your dining space is arranged. This can make your home feel freshly styled without spending a dime. Even simply angling furniture differently or rearranging a bookshelf can give the room a completely new feel.
Of course, layout changes can also be a strategic part of a larger design plan. Jessica and her team can plan your space to maximize the flow of the layout. Our interior decorating services ensure that your layout is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional for the way your family lives. We take into account the architecture of your home, lighting, sightlines, and how you move through your space so that every piece feels like it belongs.
Infuse Your Home with Nature
Nothing says spring like new stems and greenery positioned throughout your home. Spring is a great time to bring the outdoors into your home, but you don’t have to have a green thumb to use natural items in your decor. These days there are many high end companies selling realistic looking faux plants and stems.
From cherry blossoms to lilacs, hydrangeas to peonies, spring has a plethora of floral options. But how do you know which arrangement is right for your home?
First, think about the area where the arrangement will be positioned. Are you looking for a statement piece, or something a bit more subtle? Bouquets provide a tidy symmetrical look, while taller more sparse flowering branches are also in vogue in recent years. Think about the space and choose to compliment the area instead of detracting from it.
Next, choose the right colors. You may already have a color palette for your home, or you may have some colors in mind for the season that you’d like to introduce. Know your colors before you shop to avoid just adding things to your cart. Think about how they will work in the room and how they will affect the overall mood.
Now you are ready to choose your stems. Choose a mixture of flowers and foliage for the best results. Silver dollar eucalyptus or clematis spray provides bright pops of green while thistle stem, viburnum, or China grass give the arrangement interesting textures. How many stems do you need for an arrangement? There are no strict rules to follow here. For a smaller arrangement, we recommend around 8-10 stems but larger arrangements could have as many as 25.
For clients who want to make a larger impact, Welcome Home Styling can integrate natural design elements that reflect your lifestyle and design goals. Designer stems, floral or nature inspired wallpaper, or curated botanical artwork can serve as stunning focal points. These elements elevate a space from decorated to truly designed, and they’re always tailored to blend seamlessly with your interior design style.
Curate Seasonal Details
Interior decorating is all about the details and spring is a wonderful time to refresh your shelves, coffee tables, and counters with new details. Think of these as visual stories that bring together form, function, and a sense of the season.
Try rearranging your favorite decor pieces with a spring-forward mindset. A ceramic vase with fresh blooms, a stack of light-toned coffee table books, and a candle in a seasonal scent can come together to create a cohesive, elegant moment. Play with height and texture for visual interest, and consider removing items that feel too heavy for the season.
This is also a great time to update your rugs. At Welcome Home Styling, we love rugs from Ruggable for their versatility and functionality. They’re washable, durable, and ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and entryways. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, making it easy to find the right fit for any room.
Switching out the rugs seasonally is a simple way to bring new colors, patterns, and personality into your home without committing to a permanent change.
Our team of designers specialize in making every room personalized and reflective of your unique story, style, and aesthetic. We blend heirloom pieces, art, and curated accessories to craft displays that feel both intentional and organic.
With our guidance, even a built-in bookshelf or coffee table can become a celebration of the season and your personal style. As professional interior designers, we’re able to simultaneously see the details and the big picture, making sure your space is beautiful from every angle and functional for your everyday life.
Update Your Entryway
First impressions matter, especially in spring. The entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home, and it’s often overlooked in seasonal refreshes.
Start by incorporating a few new details like a floral wreath or placing a pretty basket for shoes and bags to keep things both functional and tidy. A small bench with a spring throw or cushion invites warmth, while seasonal flowers or a fresh scent help guests feel welcome right away.

Swap Out Art and Accessories
Art has a powerful way of influencing the mood of a space. In spring, lighter and more dynamic pieces can add a breath of fresh air to your interiors.
Consider replacing a few key art pieces with seasonal prints, florals, or nature-inspired artwork. Changing out framed prints or canvases can be an instant refresh. Updating accessories like pillows, throws, or ceramics to reflect a lighter palette can also enhance the feeling of seasonal transformation.
As part of our home design services, we help source artwork that aligns with your style. Jessica often works with clients to curate collections that evolve throughout the year, ensuring that your walls reflect not just the season, but also your story and passions. These personalized touches make each space feel truly one-of-a-kind.
Prioritize Sensory Details
Spring is a sensory season. Fresh air, blooming flowers, and soft breezes all contribute to how we feel outside and at home. They are what make spring a season of rejuvenation and they’re worth highlighting wherever possible.
Introducing a new candle or diffuser with seasonal scents like lavender, citrus, or eucalyptus can bring a sense of calm and rejuvenation to your space. Opening windows more often, adding tactile elements like soft cotton throws, or incorporating wind chimes in outdoor areas are subtle ways to make your space feel refreshed.
At Welcome Home Styling, we design with all senses in mind. Texture, scent, lighting, and even acoustics are considered in our interior design process. This holistic approach ensures every room not only looks beautiful but also feels luxurious and comfortable to live in.
Invest in Custom Furnishings and Pieces
While seasonal updates can often be small, spring is also a wonderful time to consider investing in custom pieces that will elevate your home for years to come, no matter the season.
If you’re feeling creative, consider painting a vintage dresser in a lighter hue or switching out hardware on cabinetry for a fresh twist. Even re-covering a dining chair with a brighter fabric can make a meaningful impact.
For clients seeking a lasting transformation, our team collaborates with trusted artisans to craft unique pieces from custom and handcrafted dining tables to tailored cabinetry and built-ins. These investments reflect your style while solving real-life functionality needs, ensuring that your interiors are as practical as they are beautiful.
Schedule a Full-Service Home Design Session
Sometimes the best way to welcome spring is to let someone else handle the details. Our full-service home design services take the guesswork out of seasonal updates. From concept to final install, we create interiors that feel renewed, refined, and ready for the season ahead.
Jessica and her team bring design expertise, warmth, thoughtfulness, and a passion for helping your home feel like you. As your interior decorator in Ponte Vedra, she combines creativity with strategy, layering in each element with purpose and care.
