How to Incorporate Art into Your Spring Décor

Spring art from Art2Arts

If you’re about to undertake a revamp of your interior and breathe new life into your space to celebrate the arrival of spring after months of dull and dreary weather, incorporating a little spring-inspired art is a great way to start. It’s also an easy way of celebrating one of the most vibrant and exciting of the seasons.

Regardless of your personal taste when it comes to art, here are a few ideas to include spring-inspired art into your interior makeover plans and provide a much-needed injection of life and colour into any space:

Floral art

Spring Flowers Seascape by Mary Stubberfield

Nothing quite says spring like the emergence of colourful spring blooms after months of bare trees and earth.

A welcome sight for anyone as they herald the beginning of a new season with warmer temperatures and the occasional sunny spring day, floral art is a great way of delivering a pop of colour into any room in the home easily without the need to completely change your current colour scheme.

From trees heavily laden with delicate spring blossoms to colourful meadows filled with sunshine shades, take a look at our range of floral art available to buy direct from the Art2Arts website.


Abstract Art

Happy Commotion by Bali Love-Jenkins

If your tastes run to the more contemporary, there are still plenty of ways to inject some springtime shades into your home without settling for the traditional spring topics such as flowers or wildlife that we usually associate with this time of the year.

Take a look at our range of vibrant greens, pale sky blues and pops of yellows that are reminiscent of the season while giving that modern appeal in our current collection of abstract art from up and coming artists.

Paper Plate Nests - Preschooler Crafts - Spring Craft Ideas

Paper Plate Nests – paper plate nests are another wonderful childhood classic. Especially if you combine it with some straw or shredded paper to make it into a little sensory activity for toddlers and preschoolers. Here we added some pom pom birds that we had made previously, but you can also add simple paper chicks to your craft!

Chicken Egg Cups - a simple upcycled craft idea

Egg Carton Chicken – of course also an Easter craft – these Egg Carton Roosters are so so fun and adorable. They make great egg cup holders throughout spring! We left ours in “natural” egg carton colour, but of course you can paint them in fun spring pastels too!

Little Walnut Bird Nests. Totally adorable.

We are a great fan of all things Walnut. Usually we make Walnut Crafts in autumn and around Christmas.. but I thought this little walnut nest craft where just too cute. The little birds are easy to make from scrunched up tissue paper! So fun.

Cute Butterfly Corks for little ones to make.

These Paper Towel Butterflies are a simple science lesson (coloring mixing), art project and spring craft all in one! What is not to love about this childhood classic? My daughter loved having these on the wall above her bed when were done with them.

Spring Crafts Butterflies - Spring Craft Ideas

These cardboard tube mini bugs are were so popular with my kids, that once again, we brought them into the classroom for a crafting session with all of Red Ted’s classroom friends. Combining toilet paper rolls, googly eye and pipe cleaners, the kids had great fun inventing their own set of creepy crawlies!

I am at risk of adding and adding and adding lots of super cute crafts to this section. But I have a special “Ladybug Crafts for Kids” collection that you can browse. But picking one out for this spring project collection, I will pick our Ladybug and Bees tic tac toe. As mentioned the best ideas for kids are often the simplest. Mine LOVE painting rocks.. and bees and ladybugs are easy to make. And great fun to play with!
