5 Simple Ways to Refresh Your Home for Spring in 2025

Out with the dreary gray skies and in with the bright sunny days! The weather is finally getting nice, and that means it’s time to spring into action when it comes to freshening up your seasonal home decor. Especially for those of us who are still finding Christmas decorations in odd corners of the house (seriously – how is there still glitter hanging around?). So if you’re ready to close the storage lid on the dark neutrals of your past and sail into baskets of uplifting pastels, Eastbrook Homes has you covered. 

Let’s get your home ready for Easter and Mother’s Day entertaining! Here are our top 5 tips for refreshing your home for spring.

1. Refresh Your Color Palette

This year, spring decor is all about embracing nature-inspired hues while balancing them with fresh, uplifting tones. Pastels are still a seasonal favorite, but 2025 is bringing a renewed focus on earth tones and bold accents that add character to a space.

• Soft Pastels with Depth – Shades like blush pink, powder blue, and lavender still create a light and airy feel, but pairing them with richer earth tones—such as terracotta, sage green, and warm taupe—adds a sophisticated contrast.
• Grounded Neutrals – Natural hues like beige, sand, and light wood tones help create a balanced, organic foundation for any space. These colors work beautifully alongside spring’s brighter accents while keeping your home feeling warm and welcoming.
• Bold Color Accents – This year, bold shades like deep blue, mustard yellow, and rich green are making a statement. Try incorporating them through decorative vases, statement furniture, or even a fresh coat of paint on a focal wall.

2. Swap Out Textures

Bringing the outdoors in is a major theme for 2025, and natural textures play a key role in making your home feel fresh and organic.

• Linen and Cotton for a Breathable Feel – Ditch heavy winter fabrics and opt for soft, natural materials like linen curtains, lightweight cotton throws, and woven pillows. These textures create an effortless, airy look.
• Raw and Organic Materials – Think unfinished wood or seagrass mirrors. Whether it’s a set of woven dining chairs, a live teak root coffee table, or wooden picture frames, these elements bring warmth and texture to a space.
• Layered Textiles – Spring decor isn’t just about light fabrics—it’s about balance. A mix of soft linen, wool-blend throws, and textured ceramics gives your space a dynamic, welcoming feel without making it feel heavy.

3. Incorporate Seasonal Details

Seasonal decor is all about subtle, intentional changes that refresh your space without feeling overly themed.

• Fresh Flowers and Greenery – A bouquet of tulips or a potted plant can instantly brighten up a space. If you want something low-maintenance, dried florals or preserved greenery offer the same effect with a longer lifespan.
• Spring Mantel Styling – If you have a fireplace, refresh your mantel with a mix of pastel candles, decorative vases, or woven baskets filled with greenery.
• Chinoiserie Accents – A standout trend in 2025, Chinoiserie-style decor brings an elegant, global influence to your home. Whether through delicate hand-painted vases, intricate wallpaper, or blue-and-white ceramic pieces, these details add sophistication while blending beautifully with spring’s fresh aesthetic.

4. Add Small, Custom Touches

Sometimes, the most effective updates are the ones that make the biggest impact in small ways.

• Upgrade Cabinet Hardware – Swapping out old cabinet knobs for sleek, modern brass, matte black, or ceramic designs can instantly elevate your kitchen or bathroom.
• Refine Your Door Details – Replacing outdated doorknobs, hinges, or even adding decorative molding to doors can create a fresh, high-end look with minimal effort.
• Statement Lighting – A new light fixture, whether it’s a sculptural pendant or a classic lantern-style sconce, can serve as a focal point while adding warmth and personality.

5. Bring the Refresh Outdoors

Spring decorating doesn’t stop at your front door—your exterior space deserves a seasonal refresh too!

• Statement Wreaths – A spring-inspired wreath with dried florals, eucalyptus, or woven elements can make your entryway or Michigan Room feel welcoming and polished.
• Patio Refresh – Simple updates like swapping out outdoor cushions, adding a small bistro set, or layering an outdoor rug can transform your space for warm-weather lounging.
• Container Gardens – If you don’t have space for a full garden, potted plants and flower arrangements on patios, balconies, or front steps can add a vibrant touch without the upkeep of a full landscape.

The days are longer, and the weather is (finally) getting warmer in West Michigan! Capture the sunny days ahead by bringing the fresh outdoors into your home with lighter colors and fabrics, beautiful flowers and stunning accents.
