As the season changes and the weather warms up we should be thinking about spring bedroom decorating ideas. Not just to make our bedrooms pretty and seasonal but to make them cool and comfortable and inviting. Here are some must-do ideas for getting our bedrooms ready for spring!
I’m so thrilled to be part of a SPRING TOUR with 29 other bloggers. A big thank you to Kelley from The Tattered Pew and Mansa from It’s Simplicite for organizing our group!
If you are coming from White Arrow Home or from anywhere else, welcome! Kristen has a beautiful log home in Wisconsin.
And please check out my SPRING HOME TOUR AND IDEAS HERE.
And my SPRING KITCHEN TOUR AND DECORATING IDEAS HERE.
Both tours are filled with lots of pictures and ideas you can incorporate into your home!
Today we are in the master bedroom and I’m sharing just how easy it is to make a few changes in this room to make it spring and summer-ready!
I think of our bedroom as a sanctuary. So everything I put into this room has to work with that adjective. Just the thought of coming into our bedroom and closing the door makes me feel relaxed!
The best spring bedroom decorating ideas are simple! And all these ideas are not only simple but smart!
Here are a few easy to do, spring-inspired things you can do to help create a relaxing and inviting spring bedroom.
DECLUTTER FIRST
Clutter causes stress. It is just the opposite of what you want your bedroom to be!
So the first thing to do is get rid of everything that does not belong in a pretty and peaceful bedroom!
Make your bedroom a clutter free zone! And work at keeping it that way!
Even lots of things on a night table can clutter a room! So take a minimal approach to everything in a bedroom.
LIGHTEN UP YOUR SPRING BEDROOM
This tip has many meanings! Think light textures, light colors, light fabrics, light decorating!
First open up those windows and take heavy drapes off. Give your windows a good cleanings so that beautiful spring light streams in!
We took down the woven linen drapes in our bedroom and replaced them with a lighter soft white linen curtain. What a difference! Just doing this one thing made our room look so much lighter and brighter!
We also replaced our wide slat blinds with soft cellular blinds that retract up to the top of the window frame. Now we have a panoramic view of the world outside!
SPRING BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS FOR YOUR BED
CHOOSE A WHITE COVERLET
A white coverlet is my go-to choice for all of our bedding. Its a great foundation and perfect for a light cover layer.
Especially in warmer weather when the air conditioner is on, we don’t need a big heavy duvet but one nice mid-weight layer works great.
I’m so partial to a matelasse coverlet. They have a subtle patterned stitching on them that adds texture to the bedding. And the white works with almost any other bedding on your bed!
I get asked all the time how I keep white slipcovers or bed coverings clean. It’s so easy! Oxyclean! Works like magic! I’ve washed this coverlet countless times and it always looks so fresh and white when it comes out of the wash.
USE LIGHTWEIGHT QUILTS AND OTHER COVERS
Think about changing up all your bedding in the spring and summer. It makes sense to choose lighter fabrics, lighter textures and lighter colors and patterns.
For our master bedroom, I opted for this pretty Spa colored quilt with ivory ball trim from Ballard Designs. You can see it HERE.
I’ve loved this Audree Pom Pom quilt and shams for several years! So I finally decided to make the investment so I can use and enjoy how peaceful it makes the whole room look.
I switch up bedding in the fall and the spring. First of all, it feels so nice to put different bedding on my bed, and switching the bedding meets the sleeping comfort need for the new seasons.
We want to be comfortable when we sleep so knowing what bedding to choose is so important!
I’m not a duvet gal unless I use the duvet cover as a bedspread. The heaviness of even the lightest duvet makes me feel restricted. So, for me, I like a light quilt.
PILLOWS ON THE BED
Use decorative pillows on your bed any time of year! If you have a queen size bed like we do three Euro Shams work across the bed perfectly. Add another Euro Sham for a king size bed!
I’ve used two Euro Shams on our queen size bed in the past but two is just not enough. So don’t scrimp on the Euro Shams because you won’t be happy with the look!
Instead of adding lots of extra decorative pillows try adding one long bolster pillow in a pretty complementary color and print!
As usual, when the camera comes out Hobbes comes running. It’s the funniest thing! For this photo shoot I had to eventually put him in the basement!
This spring’s decorative pillow choices were so different for me! I usually love lots and lots of pillows but decided to have just one long pillow for the bed this spring.
I chose the 16 x 36 bolster pillow in this light fawn color. You can see it HERE.
ADD FLOWERS
Spring is all about flowers so use them in your bedroom!
I love to use real flowers, but in reality I most often use faux blooms in our bedroom.
Flowers are such a special treat and add lots of spring beauty to a room! I used these pretty faux white ranunculus. Ranunculus are just so pretty! If you love peonies then you might want to give ranunculus a try!
I found a white pot with raised dots in the basement and put the blooms in there.
The silhouette in the black frame is of my little granddaughter Emma Kate.
It’s amazing what a little bit of black in a room will do!
OTHER SPRING BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS
I kept this room quite minimal this spring. I used a glass jar to hold a few faux spring branches.
I just love the “movement” of these branches and how their leaves are sparsely opening up here and there.
I also added a spring-inspired picture that reminds me to “bloom where you are planted”. You can see 4 pretty spring printables of mine and lots from other bloggers HERE. I’m sure you will find a spring printable you can use in your home.
Your bedroom is worth a little spring makeover! Make it a pretty and comfortable sanctuary!
Here are some other spring bedroom decorating ideas for your bedroom…
- add a throw to the end of the bed in a spring color
- linen sheets (I invested in linen sheets several years ago and that is all we use on our bed. I LOVE them. They just get softer and loftier with age. Not all linen sheets are the same. You can see the sheets we use HERE.)
- wallpaper the wall your headboard is on with peel and stick wallpaper
- add a bed tray to your bed with a vase of pretty flowers.
- put a big oversized floral decal over your bed
- add a rattan bench or chair to give your bedroom a warm-weather look
- change out what is over your bed and add a trio of floral pictures
- add a canopy of fabric on the wall in the back of your bed that goes to the ceiling and then drapes over your bed. Dreamy look!
- add hooks and hang straw hats and baskets from them

In the above beautiful bedrooms post you have the Audree bedspread and the Raw Silk Woven bedskirt from soft surroundings. Can you please tell me what color the bedskirt is. Is it the Natrual or the Ivory? Please and thank you
It is natural. Hope this helps
Where did you get the robins egg blue quilt and shams in the bedroom post?
Hi Robin, Look on Ballard Designs.
I always love seeing your home styled for the seasons! That bedding is so pretty with the pompom edge. Thank you for always inspiring me, Yvonne!
Hi Jennifer, this is a delightful tour!
Hello Yvonne – I absolutely love your bedding. My bedroom walls are BM Palladian Blue
HC-144 and I currently have tan carpeting and gray and white bedding. I absolutely love your quilt and shams in the Spa Blue color. Do you think the Spa Blue color would be too matchy with my wall color? I intend to have a white bedskirt and white sheets and blankets, drapes, etc. Do you have any thoughts? Many thanks! I just LOVE your style!
The coverlet and Euro shams are actually more green than they are blue. You should probably buy a euro sham and see how the color works with the rest of the room and if it doesn’t return it. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your feedback! It is very much appreciated!
Your bedding is stunning…just love the neutral calm colors. And that bedskirt is gorgeous! So fun touring with you. Happy Spring! š
Thanks so much! We just got home from a long vacation in Southern CA so I’ll be visiting you soon.
I absolutely love your spring ideas, Yvonne. I am in love with your bedding and the beautiful pictures hanging above your nightstands. Thank you for the inspiration. You take the most incredible pictures.
I just love all your tips! Your home is such an inspiration for a spring refresh. Thanks for brining us along on the tour!
Robin, how nice!
Your bedroom is beautiful! I love your pillows and bedding and your furnishings are gorgeous! Fun to tour with you and as always get so much inspiration!
I’ve been in southern CA for a couple weeks so I have not had time to visit all the beautiful spring tour posts. When I get home I will. It will be a treat.
Yvonne,
These spring colors are so soothing. Beautiful Tour. So fun doing these together.
I’m looking forward to visiting your home too Rachel.
I see so many beautiful bedrooms and bedding. Where do you put your sleeping pillows?
They are tucked behind the Euro shams.
Yvonne your bedroom looks beautiful and I would love to share it with my audience in my weekly round-up tomorrow. It was so fun hopping with you this week. Your home is gorgeous and I love your blog! xo
Of course, Stacy! Thanks for asking.
Yvonne once again I learned so many great things from your post. You have a way with words and your photography backs it up. Thank you for sharing your Spring bedroom tips with us! I pinned it! Happy Spring and thanks for
Kelly thank you so much for including me in your tour!
I’m always so inspired by you, Yvonne! Everything you do is gorgeous.
What a sweet thing to say, Jennifer!
Thank you so much, Jennifer.
This is so fresh and pretty, Yvonne! I love the quilt and shams with the ball fringe; adorable! Great ideas for getting the bedroom all ready for Spring and Summer, too!
Thanks, Lora!
Your bedroom is lovely. Are you able to share where you got your botanical beige prints?
Thank you! Sandy
I found the prints locally at a furniture store that went out of business. Sorry I don’t have a source.
So very light and lovely! You made wonderful choices!
Oh, how nice of you!
Yvonne, as always, your home looks lovely. It’s the little details that make a house a home, and I love the pom-pom trimmed shams and sweet silhouette on the nightstand. Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
You are so dear, Cecilia (favorite name ever)! Thank you!
Girl, you master bedroom looks lovely (as always). You know how partial I am to an aqua blue, so your ‘spa’ colored quilt and pillow covers are calling my name! (Love those pom-poms!) I definitely need to follow your first tip on decluttering. After this weekend, I’m hoping to go full bore with the de-clutter! Missed hopping with you, but it was such a good decision for me this time! See you tomorrow! Woot-woot!
I can’t wait Julie! CA is beautiful this time of year!
Your bedroom is absolutely GORGEOUS. Wished I had the opportunity to purchase new furniture for mine. I have a cherry set., about 7 years old. Anyway, I’m wondering where you purchased your prints behind the lamps?
The lamp was from Wayfair, but I don’t see it anymore. The prints are from a local store. Sorry I can’t help more.
Could you PLEASE tell me where you got the pictures on each side of your bed? I have been searching high and low for taupe shade pictures. They would be perfect!!
Hi Diane, you are asking a very popular question. I found them locally and don’t have a source. Sorry
Is there possibly an artist name on the pictures? Maybe I could source them with that.
No name or I would have given that to you. So sorry Diane. Just the Latin names of the flowers.
I never saw Mr. Hobbs before, he is a delightful surprise. He added a little ginger to your bedroom and looked ready to settle for a nap. I think the bedroom totally presents “Sanctuary” and peace. And I love the color of the quilt and shams.
Your bedroom is stunning and so bright and airy! I love all of your Spring decor tips as well. Had so much fun being on this tour!
Thanks, Jenna! What a gorgeous spring tour!
Everything is styled beautifully, Yvonne! So bright and airy. I adore the bedding and how you created all of the comfy, cozy layers. So happy to be joining you on the spring home tour this week. Pinned!
Hi Jen, we are spending some time in southern CA so when I get home I can’t wait to visit everyone pretty spring homes!
Your bedroom looks so light and airy.I like the touch of soft color added with the quilt.
Your bedroom is so beautiful Yvonne, I love it all but especially that pom pom trim coverlet and pillows! Great tips!
Beautiful bedroom! I love the spa color. Your bed skirt is very unique. Is it the ivory or the natural color that you have?
I have the natural color.
I love your spring bedroom redo. I think that the spa colored coverlet is such a calm and pretty color.My change for spring is switching my bedding to light weight Laura Ashley print quilt and shams with a white bedskirt replacing my off white one and alot of decluttering . My cat Ollie,refuses to stay off our bed when I am trying to make it. I can remove him only to turn around and find him right back . I finally give it and make the bed with him on it after placing him on his own washable throw. Such a spoiled boy!
Great minds think alike! I already have my white quilt on my bed. Hobbes is adorable, should be in all your pictures!
These tips are amazing!! I love your new quilt and sham!! Beautiful and ready for Spring! My bedroom needs so much attention. I’m totally gonna reference this post when I finally get around to doing a bedroom refresh!!
It was a pleasure to see your beautiful bedroom, Yvonne. I love your new quilt with matching shams along with your pretty matelasse coverlet and unique bedskirt. It is so sweet that Hobbes wants to be with you and was kind enough to pose on your bed.
