Simple Spring Decorating Using Flowers

Decorating the farmhouse is something I love to do. But like most things, I want it done now. It don’t like fuss. It has to be easy. And seasonal decorating that’s straight from nature is one of my favourite things. That’s why flowers are a perfect way to decorate. Whether you cut them from your garden, buy them from the Farmer’s market on a Sunday morning or bring out your stash of artificial blooms it’s time to get your Spring decorating on!

In today’s post, I’ve scrolled a few of my favourite blogs for simple, minimal ways to celebrate Spring with flowers. Here we go. . .

Spring Decorating with Blossoms

Blossoms are one of the things I enjoy most about seasonal decorating. A vessel of some sort piled with branches in pink or white rings in the season. Living in what was traditionally orchard country, we are fortunate to be surrounded by blossoms at this time of year. They grow untended on the side of the road, meaning I can sneak down with a pair of secateurs and grab some branches.

A single stem of blossoms in a jar is a pretty way to signify Spring’s arrival too. So if you have one tree and you’re loathe to hack it, cut a single branch. If you don’t have access to any blossoms, there are a number of sites where you can buy artificial ones that look so real, nobody will ever know. Especially if you are being seasonal and only bring them out once a year.

Spring Bulbs

Spring decorating would not be complete without a vase filled with bulbs. Here on the farm, the Jonquils always arrive first followed by Daffodils. This year we added to the existing bulb collection with a lot of blue and white bulbs (mainly to tone down all the yellow) but this means I will now have access to bulbs for over a month as they all bloom at different times.

If you don’t have access to a lot of bulbs, try putting one stem in each vessel (like a bottle or jar) then group them together. This gives the feeling of more.

I often plant a few bulbs in a container and bring it inside when the shoots appear. Bulbs that are planted will last for weeks inside as long as you water them like you do a house plant and give them sun.

Lavender

You all know how much I love lavender in the house. The flowers last forever and the smell from the leave is so restful. Last Spring I havd three pots of lavender I used and swapped from room to room. Lavender is good too becuase it doesn’t require a lot of water. We might still have the fire going so it’s warm and the lavender does not mind the heat.

But there are so many ways to bring Lavender into the house without pots. If you have some to cut tying them with string and hanging as if you are going to dry them.

Make a simple lavender wreath by twising the stems around each other. Such a simple and pretty idea!
