simple & timeless spring style: my favourite online finds

This week brings the arrival of spring and I for one am so ready for some green! Our transition to green on the East Coast is much slower than parts west so while I’m eagerly looking forward to a change of season, its my the least favourite weather-wise. My mind is craving GREEN and spring blooms but it requires a lot of patience here while we first endure the dreariest of weather..

At this time of year a natural urge to refresh and revitalize our surroundings can take hold of us. Spring isn't just a change of season outdoors; it's an invitation to bring that fresh energy inside. I’m a firm believer that incorporating elements of nature into our homes can help boost our mental well-being and our spirits. By introducing pops of spring colour, lighter textures, and touches that evoke nature and its re-awakening, we can create spaces that feel uplifting and optimistic. Greens happen to be my go-to colour for interior accents but not just because its my personal favourite colour. The reason is because green is so prevalent in nature you can never go wrong with it, never, it works with every colour scheme, and includes a broad range of tones.

Whether you’re craving spring colour as much as I am or are just a bunny lover - here are some simple ways to add a touch of spring to your decor, along with some of my favourite online finds to inspire your seasonal refresh!

Coloured Taper Candles: These were also on my holiday decor list, I use coloured tapered candles in every season, I just use differrent colours. Skip the basic white, go for a mix of different greens, or purples or whatever colours speak of spring to you.
Iron Bunny Head Wall Hook: A wall hook in the shape of a bunny head is a perfect way to add some whimsy and keep things organized with a touch of style.
Hand forged brass Candle Holders: Mis-matched and various heights will instantly make a grouping of coloured tapers more interesting. Find a holder that suits your style. I like the handmade look and brass patina of these. Obsidian series by Creative Co-op.
Faux Forsythia Branches: Spring is the ultimate branch decor season, whether with leaves or blooms. If you don’t have access to clippings of the real thing or a market that sells them, artificial are the next best thing. Quality can vary greatly depending on price, and viewing distance impacts how real or faux they look. Find what works for you. Widely available from Pottery Barn to dollar store to Amazon.
Large Vessel: If you don’t have a large vessel , approx 12”H, for seasonal branches put one on your radar. This will be a staple pieces you’ll use all year long. Chose a style that suits your decor, I love a rustic pottery piece, including mixed with modern elements but there are so many modern vessel options too. For branches, I prefer a non-glass vessel as the branches make the water turn murky fairly quickly, an opaque vessel conceals that.
Customized Door Mat: Hands down my favourite new find. I prefer a natural fibre door mat but inherently over time they will weather, fade, and eventually need replacing. Nothing freshens up your entryway like a new door mat. This Canadian supplier can customize your door mat with a phrase, an emblem, log, or a monogram, with a border or without. I’m crazy for the simple single letter monogram option and plan to order one when my current mat needs replacing. Also I think this would make a fantastic, personalized gift.
Linen Pillows: Eventually we always need to replace old bedding but even in between, the absolute simplest way to change up the vibe in your bedroom or a guest bedroom is just to add a single accent pillow or a pair of new shams. A stone washed linen pillow cover in contrasting spring green against plain white, natural linen, or whatever colour bedding you have will instantly impact the room with a fresh look. I always find great linen options on Esty. I also adore these ones on Etsy with the frayed edge.
Table Cloth: The unspoken hero to creating a beautiful table for family gatherings is the humble table cloth, used to conceal mismatched tables or bring cohesion to a mis-matched array of place settings. A table cloth can pull it all together. A gingham pattern is a timeless classic, it works with any other pattern, and of course in green it truly sings spring.
Brass Bunny Head: I just love this, i can’t explain why. Intended as wall decor you could use it as a hook to hang market bags, hats, aprons, or to hang a spring wreath around its neck. The Haggmispel rabbit head From Ikea.
Scalloped Edge Basket: Nothing says spring and Easter like baskets and honestly woven baskets are just a staple decor piece in my home or client spaces. Scalloped edged woven items are having a moment,,, they’re everywhere lately tho a scalloped edge is a traditional detail the wicker take on it is fresh and relaxed. Update a powder room or kitchen, or entry way, with a woven scalloped edge accessory and you’ll be right in style. This one is by Two’s Company.
Linen Napkins: Stone washed linen napkins means ironing is optional. This spring green version will add a seasonal lift to your day to day table top and your spring celebrations alike. Because green goes with everything, you’ll also be able to mix and match these with ease for those times you need more than 4 or 8, or just to create a more layered look. Linen Napkins by Eight Owls, 100% French Flax stone washed pure linen.

Everything I’ve shown above, plus more, is compiled in a collection called Spring Forward 2024 on my Amazon page which you can find here. If you’re anti-Amazom, that’s cool too (many of us in rural Canada rely on it even for essentials) you can find any of these things at other retailers, locally or online.
