As Toronto bursts into bloom, it’s the perfect time to refresh your space with seasonal touches. These simple May home decor ideas will help you lighten up your interiors and bring spring energy indoors.
Lighten Up Your Colour Palette
Swap heavy winter tones for light and breezy colours like pastel blue, soft green, and blush. Lightweight curtains and linen throw pillows can instantly update your living space. Check out Benjamin Moore’s Spring Colour Trends for inspiration.
Add Fresh Flowers
A vase of tulips or peonies on the kitchen table is an instant mood-lifter. Use small bud vases in bathrooms and bedrooms to carry the freshness throughout your home. Local favourites like Toronto Flower Market make it easy to find seasonal blooms.
Incorporate Natural Textures
Wicker baskets, rattan trays, and jute rugs add warmth and texture. These elements bring a relaxed, natural vibe that’s perfect for spring. You’ll find beautiful seasonal accessories at Bouclair (proudly Canadian) and local home boutiques.
Update Wall Art
Swap out darker art for botanical prints or nature photography. Even simple DIY art featuring pressed flowers or seasonal quotes can make your walls feel fresher.
Use Seasonal Scents
Candles or diffusers with lavender, citrus, or eucalyptus scents create a calming, spring-ready atmosphere. Keep it subtle and natural to avoid overpowering the room.
Style Outdoor Spaces
Your balcony or backyard deserves love too. Add some cozy cushions, string lights, and planters filled with herbs or pansies. For ideas on small outdoor makeovers, visit Better Homes and Garden.
