I’m so excited to share my spring kitchen decorating with you guys! You know our kitchen got some recent updates last fall (see them here), and I talked about our new rug that I scored recently to brighten up this space (read about it here) – and it’s so amazing how much lighter and brighter it feels in this space – I couldn’t be more ready for spring to arrive! Clocks move ahead this weekend – are you as excited for that extra hour of daylight as I am? Nothing feeds my soul more than a beautiful, bright and welcoming space and I am loving the feel of our kitchen this spring.

I added our new rug, a few simple, light blue touches mixed in with my favorite blue and white pieces, and my always-present faux florals (you know I love them!) to celebrate the season in this space. I wanted a light and airy palette in our home for the season – I’m loving light blues right now and I’m using them in our living room as well. Did you see my spring living room post last week? If you haven’t, yet, you’ll definitely want to! You can click here to read all about it. I have to say, it’s one of my favorite’s ever.
Come on into our kitchen, have a look around and get inspired for your spring kitchen decorating!
OUR NEW, SOFT HUED, VINTAGE-INSPIRED RUG
This rug adds so much life to our kitchen, and I’m still so in love with having a large scale rug in here versus a runner. The space between our kitchen and island is just over four feet, so there’s plenty of room to fill up. I’ve used smaller scale rugs here in past seasons, which I also love, but I wanted something that would really make a statement last fall when we added our new updates.
I love this spring look and color palette so much – it’s bright, airy, soft and chic – it makes me happy!
FAUX FLORALS & FRUIT ARE ALWAYS IN STYLE!
I used a few favorites in our kitchen this season, and kept it very simple and clean overall. Some white roses, hydrangeas, and cherry blossom branches give our kitchen a soft, ethereal feeling with their neutral colors, and a beautiful serving platter filled with soft green faux artichokes and pears for a small dose of color on the stove.
Simple branches and a pair ginger jars in this corner. Nothing more to say!
MY FAVORITE BLUE & WHITE ACCENTS ALWAYS DO THE TRICK!
You all know I’m always using my blue and white pieces in here (and everywhere else!), so why not keep using them?! I love them too much to take them out, and they’ve become a neutral base for the decor in our home. Season to season, I’ll move them around and rearrange them for a fresh feel.
Accented around our spring decorated kitchen, they help to tie my spring theme together, and tie back into our new rug also. I love the deep blues of my ceramics mixed in with my light blues towels as well – another use of my seasonal color, dotted around the space to bring cohesiveness to my theme.
SHOW OFF YOUR BEAUTIFUL COLLECTIONS!
I do admit – I like stuff – lots of it!! I’ve tried many times to clear my counters to keep them minimal and streamlined. For some reason it doesn’t work for me and I always end up filling them with beautiful pieces I love – I am a maximalist at heart! There’s quite the expanse of counter space in our kitchen, so they look a little to sparse if they’re minimally decorated. I used some of my regular go-to items and added my florals and branches to fill in the blanks.
If you have beautiful pieces in your collection, why not show them off? Use them in interesting ways, layer them with like colors (in this case whites, creams and ivories), and mix your favorite color in between, in simple ways.
ON THE ISLAND: A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF FAVORITE ACCENTS
Roses styled with a beautiful scented candle (on a mini cake stand, of course!) in my seasonal hue, mercury glass candleholders, a blue and white sugar bowl, are all arranged on my brass tray.
There you have my spring decorated kitchen! I hope you love it as m much as I do! What I wanted was a bright and airy feeling in here for the season. Building on that idea, I layered in the textures that I felt would help me bring in the softness, and the colors to reinforce my theme, which are carefully dotted around the room.
