After a long, cold winter, there are finally signs of spring. Now that the sun is making more of an appearance and the days are longer, why not update your home decor for the start of the new season? Below are 15 creative, designer-approved ways to weave spring touches into your space without breaking the bank.

1. Display Colorful Pillows

Swapping out throw pillows, as the team at New South Home did in this small dining room, is a foolproof way to transition your home into spring. Say goodbye to wintry fabrics (that means you, flannel!) and hello to spring-like touches that will make your home sing. How perfect is this orange, cane-like fabric that will remind you of the warm days ahead?

2. Restyle Your Plate Wall

Plate walls look beautiful in the home all year long. This time of year, why not lean into the change of seasons by changing up your display to feature more spring-like serving pieces? Make like the team at Sandifer Design Build and bring on the flowers and butterflies!

3. Say Yes to Tulips

Nothing says spring more than tulips. Whether they're from a flower shop or your very own backyard, they deserve to be displayed all season long. Even better if you showcase them in an unexpected spot like the bathroom, as Meredith Owen did.

4. Elevate the Basics

Sometimes the best decor swaps are practically free! Fill a bowl with vibrant fresh fruit to add some instant pep to any vignette, as Sandifer Design Build did in this living room (Going the faux route is ok, too).

5. Frame Your Florals

No garden? No problem. You can still bring florals into your home with the help of pretty prints like the one that Collins Builders wove into this bedroom. Vintage books are an excellent resource for sourcing prints like these, too—why not frame your favorite page?

6. Lean New Art

Rotating your smaller leaning pieces of art is also an easy way to embrace the change of seasons. For springtime, try a soothing waterfront motif like the one that Carrier Design brought into this kitchen.

7. Upgrade the Patio

Refresh your patio by adding new outdoor throw pillows that reflect the season. The floral ones that Sandifer Design Build used are welcoming and full of life; your guests will be happy to sit down and stay a while.

8. Go All in With Vases

The more flowers, the merrier! Think beyond a standard vase and group several together in an artful arrangement to create a dazzling centerpiece, as Carrier Design did here.

9. Swap Your Sheets

New season? New sheets! Put the heavyweight options into storage until temperatures dip again in the fall and bring out sweet, patterned designs made from a lighter material. You can't go wrong with a blue and white print, like the one that Carrier Design chose.

10. Lay out a New Pillow

More of a white sheets all year long person? You can still add spring flair to your bedroom with the addition of a lumbar pillow that speaks to the season. This blue beauty that PWD Studio selected for a beachfront home is the perfect pick.

11. Try a New Quilt

In a kid's room or an adult's sleep space, you might also consider switching out your quilt for a more seasonal design. Purple and green, signature springtime colors, play together beautifully in this space by Bambi A'Lynn Interior Design.

12. Decorate With Rattan Accents

There's something about wicker and rattan that just screams springtime. While baskets will likely remain in place year round, you can supplement them for the season with the addition of a pretty rattan-wrapped vase like the one that the Sandifer Design Build team styled here.

13. Display Trimmings From the Yard

No time to head to the florist? No problem! Make like Gray Walker and "shop" your own backyard by clipping foliage to display inside of your home. The more eye-catching the vase you choose, the better! Greenery like this will complement your St. Patty's Day decor to a T, too.

14. Don't Forget Cherry Blossoms

It wouldn't be spring without cherry blossoms! Place some in a vase to jazz up even the most neutral of rooms, as Blueberry Jones Design did in this simple bathroom.

15. Use Tech to Your Advantage

Finally, if your TV doubles as an art display, take a cue from PWD Studio and simply change the background to feature a design that reads more springlike. You can't go wrong with classic Monet water lilies.
