Now that Easter is over, how do you decorate<\/strong>? \u00a0It is a question my readers have asked and maybe you’re also wondering when to take down the Easter decor, what to put in its place, and how to continue bringing the beautiful, natural elements of the spring season into your home. \u00a0Let’s start in a room where many of us spend a lot of time: the kitchen! \u00a0Whether it’s a simple vase of fresh flowers from the grocery store or an artfully styled centerpiece, spring kitchen table decor is the perfect way to add some cheer while giving your kitchen a quick refresh. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n I love the spring season and I love coming up with table decor ideas so for this post, I put together 5 spring kitchen table decor ideas that you can use in your kitchen or even in your spring dining room for a more casual style. \u00a0You will notice that I mix and match a lot of pieces, reusing some, and also mixing new and vintage favorites. \u00a0I like to think of a table setting as a blank canvas. \u00a0While spring table decorations can certainly have a very bright color palette, I chose to stick with a more subtle and neutral color scheme to tie into the aesthetic of the rest of our home.<\/p>\n However, you could easily substitute spring flowers and table linens for your spring kitchen table decor that is as bright or neutral as you want it to be!<\/strong> \u00a0To create these simple centerpiece ideas for my spring dining table (which is kind of the same as my kitchen table because the rooms are all one!), I shopped my stash of favorite decorative objects, table linens, and a combination of faux flowers and fresh flowers that I picked up at Trader Joe.<\/p>\n While I’ve had some pieces for many years and others are vintage, I’ll link everything I can for you in case you need to add some pieces to create the look you want for your own table centerpiece and spring kitchen table decor!<\/p>\n So, let’s start styling, shall we?!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Thrifted-garden-close-up-2-scaled.webp” alt=”large cement bunny next to a mortar and pestle” title_text=”Thrifted garden close up 2″ admin_label=”IMG thrifted garden close up 2″ _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 to decorate a table for spring?

I stacked some pots while I laid others on their side for a natural look.<\/p>\n \u200bTo soften up the entire centerpiece and bring in different textures, I added two different kinds of fresh plants. \u00a0Lastly, I tucked a thrifted copper watering can and vintage mortar and pestle to balance the white of the potted plant and tie in with the mortar and pestle collection featured on the dining room shelves behind the table.<\/p>\n In addition to fresh greenery, you could also add different colors of flowers for more colorful tablescapes<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>or add simple white flowers<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in small vases for a floral accent that still keeps the neutral color scheme.<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

arrangement to be the perfect centerpiece for your kitchen table. \u00a0I remind myself to not overlook the beauty of the simple and easy floral centerpieces for everyday enjoyment.<\/p>\n One of my favorite kitchen table centerpieces this season has been a big floral arrangement of these gorgeous faux hydrangeas<\/span>.<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0Even though they are faux stems, they look unbelievably like fresh blooms straight from the florist! \u00a0They come in other spring pastel colors but I do enjoy the simplicity of the white blooms.<\/p>\n To give them vintage character, I used an extra large wooden vessel that I got at an antique mall. \u00a0Combined with two stems of my favorite faux greenery for spring<\/strong><\/a>,<\/span> it makes an easy and pretty arrangement.<\/p>\n For even more of a spring look in the dining area, I combined it with THIS pretty table runner.<\/strong><\/a><\/span> \u00a0Even though it is full of spring pastel colors, it still has a soft and gentle look so it blends beautifully with the more neutral color scheme of our dining area. \u00a0It is also very budget-friendly<\/span>,<\/strong> <\/a>so I don’t mind leaving it out for every day use too!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hydrangea-close-up-scaled.webp” alt=”closeup of faux hydrangeas”

very long at all, you know I love wooden dough bowls<\/strong><\/a>!<\/span> \u00a0They are one of my favorite decorative objects to use for table decor ideas, whether it is a dinner table, coffee table, or console table.<\/p>\n This dough bowl centerpiece<\/strong><\/a><\/span> transitioned perfectly from an Easter table decoration in the kitchen to a spring centerpiece. \u00a0I left the simple white ceramic bunny figurine for spring. \u00a0However, if you want even more of a non-Easter look, you could replace it with a little bird figurine, a cute twig nest with eggs, or some spring blooms.<\/p>\n To create this spring kitchen table decor centerpiece, I started by lining my wooden dough bowl<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>with saran wrap. \u00a0Since I used fresh plants and needed to water them, I wanted to have a bit of a barrier to protect the dough bowl.<\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

_builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bSecondly, I created a faux base with kraft paper<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> \u00a0You could also use floral foam. \u00a0However, I had the kraft paper on hand and it is a little easier to shape into a more irregular shape.<\/p>\n Next, I added fresh plants around the entire perimeter of the bowl<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> \u00a0I chose some inexpensive little baby plants in two different styles and alternated them. \u00a0The small leaves and whimsical movement of the dainty plants added a fun look to this dough bowl arrangement!<\/p>\n Fourthly, I covered any parts of the kraft paper that could still be seen with green moss<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> \u00a0There are a lot of options out there. \u00a0However, I love THIS real moss<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. \u00a0I’ve found this particular kind to be easy to work with, last for years, and have a great natural look.<\/p>\n

_module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Once everything in the bowl was completely green with plants or moss, I rested a cute ceramic bunny figurine in the middle. \u00a0Again, you could use any kind of spring figurine. \u00a0A vintage brass swan, a cute duck decoy, or a bird figurine would be beautiful for spring. \u00a0You could also simply tuck in some faux floral blooms<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. \u00a0In fact, three of my favorite hydrangeas<\/strong><\/a><\/span> would be perfect! \u00a0Simply pull the flower head off of the stem and arrange 3 to 5 of the pretty blooms around the dough bowl<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>arrangement.<\/p>\n If you wanted to add a bit of a cozy element, you could also use battery-operated small votive candles<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. \u00a0Because of the moss, greenery, and styling of the dough bowl, I wouldn’t try to light candles. \u00a0However, the battery-operated candles<\/span><\/a><\/strong> look so realistic that you could probably have a few people questioning why you’re burning candles SO close to the moss and plants! \u00a0Haha!<\/p>\n As you can see, there are different ways to tweak this dough bowl<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>centerpiece a little bit for everyday enjoyment or even a special occasion (For a big impact, tuck cute wooden numbers into the top for a special birthday or anniversary!) \u00a0You can really adjust it to make it fit the style and color scheme of your home and also use many things that you already have. \u00a0Always remember to shop your own home first!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bunny.webp” alt=”a large wooden bowl holding greenery with a white bunny on top”

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Admittedly, I’m really not a breakfast person. \u00a0I don’t usually love eating it and I definitely do not love fixing it. \u00a0However, the idea of a cup of coffee, a slice of sourdough bread, and some jam to start the morning is a winner to me! \u00a0A spring kitchen table decor centerpiece doesn’t always have to be just for decor. \u00a0You can incorporate everyday function right into your decor too!<\/p>\n Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n I started by adding THIS casual table runner<\/span>.<\/strong> <\/a>\u00a0It is under $10 and I use it year round. \u00a0Actually, I have two of them and sometimes use both so the runner goes over each end of the table. \u00a0Next, I added an extra long woven tray<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> \u00a0Mine is no longer available but you can find a similar one HERE.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n For a spring touch, I added a vintage fruit basket to one side of the tray. \u00a0You could use any basket that you already own and simply add the greenery and faux hydrangeas<\/strong><\/a><\/span> (or other flowers you may already have!). As I mentioned before, these faux hydrangeas<\/strong><\/a><\/span> are so incredibly realistic. \u00a0I just can’t get over how much I love them!<\/p>\n On the other side of the tray, I added a large mortar and pestle. \u00a0You could use any pretty bowl<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span> \u00a0Then, I rolled up my linen napkins to give them a casual style. \u00a0You could also use a colorful napkin style to add a pop of fun color or pattern.\u00a0 A stack of saucers is ready for a quick breakfast or snack with a cute jam jar on top.<\/p>\n Finally, I added my favorite vintage-style glass mugs<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. \u00a0They are stackable, making them perfect for a functional vignette. \u00a0Since I love to add all the yummy things to my coffee, I included these super cute gold stirring spoons<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. \u00a0They are a staple in my coffee bar drawer because they are great to have on hand and always look pretty too! \u00a0Plus, they are really inexpensive!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n \u200b<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Vintage Floral Basket Spring Kitchen Table Decor Centerpiece” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I don’t know how to name this centerpiece because, really, it is just a collection of things I love in neutral tones and pretty textures! \u00a0However, even my husband said he loved this one the best! \u00a0While I cannot link all of the vintage pieces here, hopefully seeing the pictures gives you some inspiration for pulling some favorites from your decor stash to use on your spring kitchen table decor. \u00a0You can also add items to your vintage and antique hunting list!<\/p>\n Materials (that I used):<\/strong><\/p>\n\u200bHow to decorate a table for spring?<\/em><\/h3>\n
