Spring Kitchen Decor | Easy Ways to Beautify Your Kitchen For Spring
Hello Friends! I have a few tricks to help you get ready to usher your kitchen into spring! They say the kitchen is the heart of the home (or the way to a man’s heart….or something like that) and I would tend to agree! However, the kitchen is also the most practical and utilitarian space in a home, so sometimes people get decorators block. Yes, that’s definitely a thing. That’s why today I’m giving you some practical ways to beautify your spring kitchen decor without adding clutter!
Hey! This is me, Sarah. I figured since I got semi-dressed and the hair was cooperating I’d hop in the shot. How do ya like those polka-dot socks though? 😉

Trick #1: Invest in Pretty & Practical Kitchen Tools
The number one way to decorate your kitchen for any season (not just spring…but don’t worry, we’re getting there) is to incorporate every day kitchen tools into your decor. This not only brings warmth and character to your kitchen, but it also cuts down on decor clutter because your displayed items are serving a purpose.
When you buy cutting boards, utensils, pitchers, coffee mugs, towels, jars, even paper towel holders, make sure that you are buying quality products that can serve a dual purpose.
These days there are so many options to choose from in the realm of kitchen gear. So here are a few of my favorites that are not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing to display as well!
- Wood Round Cutting Board/Serving Tray
- Marble Pastry Board
- Pitcher (Doubles as a vase!)
- Canister Set
- Tiered Tray (Use for spices, fresh fruit, root vegetables, etc.)
- Kitchen Towels
- Set of 7 Cooking Utensils
- Utensil Crock
Trick #2: Beautify with Florals
Add florals. I know. That isn’t ground breaking. But it is true! My eye is always drawn to live plants in a home. There is nothing that says spring like adding a bouquet of tulips, a live plant, or some touches of greenery here and there. Plus, adding florals or greenery is the easiest way to perfect spring kitchen decor with little effort. To see all my absolute favorite faux florals, click here.
And, if you are nervous about adding live plants, then fear not! I rounded up my personally tested (which means they’ve been tested by the blackest thumb gardener you’ll ever meet) live indoor plants for you here! Be fearless and buy a live plant! I promise it will make a difference in your home. My top 2 favorite live plants are the ZZ plant and the pothos plant. Unkillable, I tell you. 😉
Trick #3: Select Character Pieces
Add a few character pieces to your spring kitchen decor. An antique corbel, a vintage wood bowl, ironstone of any kind, and baskets are my go-to pieces. These bring some warmth to the space without feeling too much like traditional decor. They blend seamlessly into the kitchen because it makes sense that they would be there!
Trick #4: Add Artwork
While I like to keep the majority of my spring kitchen decor practical, it makes a statement to incorporate some artwork. Artwork in the kitchen, you say? Yes! Spring prints can be effortlessly blended into kitchen shelving or on walls for a touch of sophistication. Bonus: Most botanical prints are extremely affordable.
Here are a few of my favorites!
- Dahlia Print {Pictured Above in my Kitchen} (Use code GRACE10 for 10% off your order!!)
- Set of 4 Vintage Botanical Prints
- Leaf Watercolor Print
- Floral Abstract Painting
Etsy is an amazing source for artwork with hundreds of artisans producing breathtaking work daily!
Trick #5: Keep It Simple
Personally, I want my spring kitchen decor to be simple and clean with a touch of pretty. It tends to be the landing ground for all things “life” so I don’t want to clutter it with too much decor! Designate space on your countertop and on shelving where you will focus your decor and leave the rest clutter free! No one wants to have to move decor out of the way to bake a batch of cookies. 😉
I hope that was helpful to you as we head into the spring season! If you’ve never decorated your kitchen for spring then I suggest starting with one live plant and a bouquet of my favorite tulips. After that, be on the lookout for a few fun pieces to add in over the years! Decorating doesn’t have to happen all at once. Take your time and just enjoy simple additions every now and then.

Hello. I just came across this blog. Your kitchen is beautiful. I’m from Michigan. Where did you buy the chalkboard in your kitchen from? I’d like to get one like that.
Thank you so much! The chalkboard is actually a DIY. It’s just a vintage cupboard door painted with chalkboard paint. 🙂
Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring
writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused ..
Any ideas? Bless you!
Hi Jann! There are many free resources for beginning bloggers! You can start with a free site but if you ever want to make blogging into your business then I’d say to start with a self-hosted site rather than the free version to save the headache of transferring it all down the road.
You really make it appear really easy with your presentation but I find
this matter to be really something that I feel I might by no means understand.
It sort of feels too complex and extremely vast for me. I am
looking forward to your next put up, I will try to
get the cling of it!
I love the color of the walls behind the cabinets. Mind sharing? 🙂
Thank you so much! It is Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore Paint. 🙂
Excellent. Absolutely loved reading and very helpful at the same time.
I’m so glad! Thank you so much.
Love this post soo much! I have been on the hunt for a few of these pieces! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I was wondering if you could tell me where you got that cute hanging planter with the leather straps?
Thank you so much Amber! The planter is from target. If you click the little image of it below the photo it will take you directly to it! Have a great day! 🙂
Hello from a fellow Michigander! Just found your blog and love it! Wondering if you would mind my asking where you found your wall mounted mug rack with the bird on it? Blessings!
Hello Verna! Thank you so much for your sweet comments. 🙂 I found the mug rack at a shop in Rockford called Full Circle Design Studio. But it was a clearance find and was green when I bought it. I spray painted it black. If you go to my shop page I’ve linked up similar wall mounted racks for you!
HI! So I just found this blog. I love your kitchen. I am in the process of planning mine and am wondering if your cabinets are white or more of a cream color. Totally random question I know. Thanks.
Hi Robin! What an exciting project! My cabinets are Benjamin Moore White Dove. It is a true white but it definitely has warm undertones. I love it for that reason. It is much less stark than many white options. I hope that helps!
