How to Transition Your Decor From Winter to Early Spring
January and February are the perfect months to start thinking about refreshing your home as you move from the coziness of Winter into the brightness of early Spring. With just a few thoughtful changes, you can transition your spaces to reflect the new season ahead without losing the warmth you’ve enjoyed during the colder months. Here are our favorite tips for making your home feel fresh, inviting, and ready for the shift into Spring.
Here, we highlight some of our favorite items from our curated collections and Sweet Water Decor items that perfectly complement them. Each designer piece has been carefully handpicked by our team, helping you create a cohesive and inviting space you'll love.
1. Swap Out Heavy Textures for Light Layers
As Winter gives way to Spring, trade out chunky knits and heavy blankets for lighter layers like cotton throws or linen pillow covers. Our curated collection of pillow covers is filled with an array of designs and textures to brighten your space. This small change keeps your space feeling cozy while introducing a breezier, airier look. Soft pastel shades and neutral tones work beautifully for this transitional phase.
Sweet Water Decor Tip:
Pair light textures with our Spring-scented candles (or an uplifting Winter scent like Cozy Season) to create a comforting yet refreshed vibe.
2. Incorporate Fresh Colors
Bring a pop of color into your home with accents that hint at the budding flowers of Spring. Think blush pinks, sage greens, and soft yellows—these shades balance the muted tones of winter while introducing a cheerful, seasonal-inspired feel. You can add these colors with throw pillows, decorative vases, or faux flowers from our curated decor collections.
3. Refresh Your Scent Game
Nothing transforms a space quite like the power of scent. While winter scents like Fraser Fir and By the Fireside have their place, now is the time to transition to lighter, fresher fragrances. Opt for reed diffusers or candles with clean, floral, or citrus notes that evoke the feeling of Spring.
Sweet Water Decor Favorite:
Try our Salt and Sea fragrance to freshen up your space and set the tone for the new season.
4. Bring in Natural Elements
Brighten your home by incorporating natural touches. Fresh greenery, dried floral arrangements, or even faux plants can breathe life into any room. Use simple, minimalist vases to showcase these natural accents while maintaining a clean look. You can find these items in our Curated Collection of Faux Plants, handpicked designer items chosen by our team to create an inviting and fresh atmosphere in your home.
5. Declutter and Organize
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to wait until March! Use this transitional period to declutter your space and start fresh. Create an organized coffee bar with your favorite Sweet Water Decor drinkware, or tidy up your nightstand, adding a reed diffuser or candle for a functional yet stylish touch.
6. Mix and Match Winter and Spring Decor
Don’t feel like you have to pack away all your Winter decor completely. A mix of Winter and Spring elements can create a beautifully layered look. For example, pair a soft Spring throw with a neutral-toned Winter pillow or display a floral-scented candle next to a warm wood accent.
Transitioning your decor from Winter to Spring doesn’t have to be complicated—small, intentional changes can make a big impact. Sweet Water Decor’s candles, reed diffusers, mugs, and other home essentials are perfect for helping you bridge the seasons.
