Living Room Spring Decor Ideas (Front Room)

This post contains affiliate links.

Even though I kept my Christmas/winter decor out a lot longer than usual this year, I also decorated for spring a lot earlier than usual. I couldn't wait to decorate my front living room with my new mantel. When I got the mantel, it was pretty close to Christmas so I didn't get much of a chance to play around with normal decor. And of course, since it's in my front room, that room has seen some spring updates too! 

The entry to this room has double sliding barn doors that's a must have for when guests use this space as a guest room (the sofa pulls out to a queen bed!)

 I realized last year that my sunburst mirror above the new mantel was just too much wood in one place, so I moved it over above the couch. I think it offers a good balance. I was iffy about putting it here since the porthole mirror was also on this wall above the storage cabinet, but I think it works :) 

I went pretty neutral with the pillows, of course :) The white ones came with the couch and actually fit under the bed when it's pulled out. It has a crazy amount of storage in it. The crisscross type jute pillows came from Target last year and the beige ticking pillows were a Home Goods find.

 I am loving this room more and more everyday especially with this new beauty! I am so glad I didn't paint it. It took all I had in me to change my vision in here and have a big wood mantel be the centerpiece, but I think that's what makes it work and makes me love it! 

 For the fireplace I decided to break up the white shiplap and place old book pages in the middle. I put an old painted tree stump in the middle as a small side table for the chairs. A perfect place to hang out and read! 

As for the mantel decor, I went away from my symmetry. It was hard...it was very hard. Ha! But, I wanted to break out of my norm and try something new. This is what happens when you find pieces that you love and want to work together, but you only have one of each....and it only makes sense to have one of each :) Goodbye symmetry! The saying is from Hobby Lobby, the scale and window frame is from Kirklands. 

 These chairs in here are still my favorite find....besides the mantel. They are at least the cheapest ones! They are true Scandinavian chairs that I bought off a yard sale site for $5 each. Yeah! Just a little reupholstering and some paint went a long way.  

 For my bench, I kept it cozy in here with a blanket since it was still technically below 10 degrees outside when I decorated in here. I put up a new light for my gallery wall to give it a more modern farmhouse feel. It doesn't work and isn't connected, but you wouldn't have known if I didn't tell you ;)

Wire Hamper: Amazon    Bench: Target

I placed some lambs ear stems to the dough bowl along with faux lavender. I'm never sure about how to decorate this thing, but I figure you can't go wrong with lots of greenery :)

 I think this room is just full of my favorite things, including this vintage inspired wire hamper. I like to add extra blankets (goodness knows I have enough), and pillows (also way overboard on those) to it no matter what season. This sweet Flower Market pillow case is new and is from the etsy store Living With Amanda.

 Here's a view of this angle that isn't shown too often. I'm in the process of making another one of these blanket ladders for my bedroom. When you have as many blankets as I do, you need the extra storage! :)

 And a couple more views of the room to get a good feel of the space!

When do you start decorating for spring? And what does you spring decor typically look like? Mine is obviously just greens and greens and greens!...and maybe lavender sneaking in there. I know spring to some are eggs and bunnies. I don't tend to go that way, maybe I'll add some decals on the windows for the kids, but that's about it :)....oh wait. Correction. I did buy one small 3" wood and white bunny the other day...I'm well on my way now ... haha :)
