I love spring! It's the perfect time to lighten up your entryway and the entire feeling in your house – literally! Open the blinds, pull back the shades, swap out dim LED bulbs, and maybe even change the lamp shades. It's all about bringing in fresh energy as you step into the season. Get rid of those heavy blankets and let your home refresh! Sometimes, we don’t realize that the familiar comfort of our homes can make us feel weighed down, but when you embrace the lightness of spring, it’s like stepping into a breath of fresh air.

Think about it – when you walk into a store like Pottery Barn, with all the vibrant signs of spring around, doesn’t it just feel lighter? It’s like a sigh of relief! You can recreate that feeling in your entryway and your home without buying everything from the store. The first step is simple: clear away anything that feels heavy.

Where to Start

Darker colors can make a bold statement, but they can also be distractions. So, why not make intentional swaps for your entryway? Consider replacing dark, heavy pillows with something bright and inviting. Swap out those thick blankets for lighter fabrics like muslin throws. Add greenery in soft shades of green – think whimsy rather than dense foliage.

A lighter, neutral palette in whites, beiges, and soft greens will transform your entryway, creating a serene atmosphere. Plus, this allows you to effortlessly add pops of seasonal color, like soft blues or even blush pinks, without overwhelming the space.

Alternatively, you can stick to completely neutral tones in the spring of whites, beiges, browns and greens. For the transition months of February and March, when nothing is in bloom yet, keep it simple in the entryway with soft neutrals and subtle touches of color. Nothing too loud, just enough to remind you that spring is on its way! A few hints of blue will give your space a sense of calm, wisdom, and abundance – bringing peace to your entryway and your home.

Spring Colors for Your Entryway: Soft Neutrals with Pops of Color

A classic favorite, especially on trend this year, is using lighter neutrals with pops of pink. Blush and peach tones are particularly popular this spring, and they can add warmth and vibrancy without overwhelming the space. Your entryway is the perfect spot for this seasonal update.

Think about focal points in your home where you want to draw the eye: your exterior entry, interior entryway, or even a console table can all be enhanced with a simple vase or a seasonal arrangement. Update the stems for each season, and watch your entryway come to life.
