As soon as Valentine’s Day is over, my brain does an automatic switch to transition from winter to spring decor! \u00a0At least, I start thinking about it. \u00a0Then, that automatically leads to starting a few switches here and there. \u00a0Literally, I can hardly help myself! \u00a0Anyone else?!<\/p>\n
Oh good. I’m not alone!<\/strong><\/p>\n Besides, my favorite Florida oak tree by our driveway blooms the most vibrant new leaves in February and it’s my yearly reminder…Florida style…that spring is here.<\/em><\/p>\n At the same time, I’m not necessarily anxious or ready to replace the hearts with bunnies and the pine cones with bursts of bright flowers. \u00a0Today, I want to chat about a few simple ways that I love to make a more subtle transition from wintery decor to what I’ll call “early spring decor.”<\/strong> \u00a0That being said, Easter seems really early this year so the bunnies may hop out sooner rather than later!<\/p>\n Hopefully it will give you inspiration too. \u00a0Then, it can help you as you look for ways to keep your home feeling fresh and hopeful through the last weeks of winter! \u00a0It’s a good way to beat those winter blues.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Unless, of course, you live in Florida and you’re enjoying winter, knowing the warm weather…okay, scorching weather…of summer is coming! ????)<\/em><\/p>\n As with any seasonal transition, early spring decor is much more about how the space feels than the actual objects and home decor accessories. \u00a0Actually, I am not really bringing in thematic early spring decor pieces at all. \u00a0Instead, I am working on creating a different feeling with very subtle spring touches.<\/strong> \u00a0That’s the goal anyway!<\/p>\n This is the perfect time to start styling and see if we can achieve that early spring decor feeling and help us love our homes all over again!<\/strong><\/p>\n Then again, if you ARE ready to bust out all of the spring decor, don’t worry! \u00a0I have my favorite spring home decor blog posts linked at the end for you so you can get started!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Early-spring-1-scaled.jpg” alt=”stems coming out of a large cream vase” title_text=”Early spring 1″ admin_label=”IMG pic early spring 1″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”how do you transition from winter to spring decor?” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Here are 6 basic ways that I transition from winter to spring decor.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0We will look at specific examples, tips, and ideas throughout this post.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”when should I switch from winter to spring decor?” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n People ask these kinds of questions a lot and my main answer is always the same. \u00a0You should enjoy your home decor in whatever way best suits you and your family.<\/strong> \u00a0Just because you “always wait until March 1st to decorate for spring” doesn’t mean that you can’t start now if you’re feeling the need to break up those winter blues!<\/p>\n However, this is a common question and a fair one for sure. \u00a0While there may be some who cling to the long evenings, snowy drifts, and “hot cocoa and a good book” kind of winter days, I think it is probably safe to say that by the middle of February, most of us are starting to look forward to spring.<\/p>\n There is no right or wrong answer to this question. \u00a0However, for me, I love to start doing some early transition from winter to spring decor around the middle of February. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n You can browse some of my favorite spring home decor, HERE, curated on my storefront!<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n However, growing up in Kansas, I definitely remember how the muddy snow in the ditches just didn’t have the same appeal by the time the middle to end of February rolled around. \u00a0Now that I live in Florida, we definitely aren’t rushing these gorgeous winter months. \u00a0There is a reason that the snowbirds flock to Florida for January through April!<\/em><\/p>\n Before I can really enjoy the spring decor, I feel a lot better once deep spring cleaning has taken place. \u00a0Rather than just making everything look fresh on the surface, there is something to say for opening everything up and cleaning out the back corners of the closets, cabinets, and drawers. \u00a0Then, you can truly enjoy a refreshed home.<\/p>\n However, it does take time for that full refresh to happen.<\/strong> \u00a0Here, at least, it’s a multi-week process. \u00a0We try to get a little bit done here and there. \u00a0If you’re at home most of the time, you would be able to get that deep cleaning done a lot faster than us!<\/p>\n If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve been working like crazy on the kids’ rooms and closets over the last week. \u00a0I just got so behind during the holiday and winter season so I’m paying for it now. \u00a0There are a few more spots that still need my attention but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”is February too early to decorate for spring?” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n To me, I think February is a perfect month to start the process of transitioning from winter to spring decor. \u00a0Since there is really more involved than just decorating, it is a great month to get started on some of that behind-the-scenes stuff.<\/strong><\/p>\n You can browse some of my favorite things we use around our home for storage and organization HERE!<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, if a fresh plant or vase of faux flowers appear in the process, that’s okay too!
