Simple Spring Flower Decor
Simple spring flower decor…use a mix of fresh and faux flowers to spruce up your home for spring.
As much as I love winter, I’m always so ready for spring. There are so many wonderful things about it! The air just smells different–crisp, clean, infused with blossoms and grass and all green things. The sky is always a little bluer, the sun is finally peeking out from behind the clouds, and the flowers and trees are blooming.
Decorating for Spring with Flowers
We are busy planning the planting of flowers and bushes outside, which since we just moved in during the fall months, it’s pretty bare out there! I’m a huge fan of bringing blooms inside, and decorating with flowers is my favorite way to spruce up my home for spring.
They add a beautiful simplicity to any space, and a pop of color to my otherwise neutral decor. I like simple best–just a few pitchers of flowers around my home and it feels like spring! The best part is, flowers a simple and inexpensive way to spruce up your home for spring.

My local grocery store sells a huge bunch of fresh tulips for $6, and they offer them in a variety of colors. Each week I buy a bunch, alternating colors, and spread them throughout my home. My favorites are pinks, purples, yellows, and whites. Tulips are my favorite, but I also love ranunculus and wildflowers.
I’m hoping to grow my own flowers for the future, but I need to do some research first. We live in the woods, and we have a whole community of deer that absolutely love tulips. I’m hoping we can come to some kind of agreement, but I don’t think that’s going to happen!
I also supplement with faux flowers, because they last forever, and are overall less expensive. A mix of fresh and faux works best for me, but I would love to have all fresh flowers all of the time!
SPRING FLOWER DECOR
Here’s a look at even more spaces in my home where I’ve added flowers to decorate for spring. Really simple, not much fuss.
I use simple farmhouse pitchers to display my flowers—white and galvanized are my favorite, but I also love to utilize mason jars and olive buckets as well.

Aren’t flowers wonderful? I love them so much! I find my favorite flowers at my local grocery stores, and also farmers’ markets in our area. Some of my go-to stores for faux flowers are Michael’s, JoAnn Fabrics, and Hobby Lobby. Check for coupons first and wait for sales if you can–the nicer stems an be expensive, especially when you need several.

And they fit your home so perfectly. Sweet simplicity.
Thank you so much, Vicki!! xo
I don’t know if scattering mothballs will repel the deer but it does help with moles and chipmunks. One year I planted 70 crocus bulbs (before I knew this trick); the critters left me one and a bunch of tunnels!! Daffodils are “poisonous” so no one eats them. Placing a layer of chicken wire over the bulbs might deter the deer. Urine and human hair (get lots from the hair dresser!) are supposed to work in the vegetable garden. Some bulb catalogs like Brecks mark the deer resistant types. I have had some critter (skunk or porcupine???) dig up daffs planted with bone meal caz they like to eat the bone meal, I have also been known to “plant” silk flowers in the yard and move them around. They are lovely in a pot on the porch or added to a pot whose flowers have gone by. I have wound petunia garlands around the lamp post and added clematis blossoms to my vine before it blooms. Of course, the pine garland with pointsettias is a Christmas standby. Past their prime pots of mums are awesome sprayed with hairspray, then sprinkled with glitter.
Do you know why God gives me daffodils with short stems (the package says 22″ tall, I get 8-10″ stems)? I have to get down on my knees to smell them! He sure knows how to keep me humble!
Thank you so much for all the tips and advice, I really appreciate it!!! And I love your last paragraph. So much. xoxo

Try putting hair around your flowers. A co-worker of mine did this with her flowers that back up to a wooded area and she hasn’t had any problems since! She just uses whatever is on the brush after she brushes her hair or you could see if your local hair dresser would loan you some locks. :) Love your decor it is gorgeous! @Karabethdesigns
Thank you so much for the tip! I’m going to try it!!
