After a long winter, we're ready to open those windows and transition our homes for the warmer months of the year. Although it may seem a bit premature on the spring discussion because we can't yet open those windows, we are over winter at this point and just want to start thinking spring!
We've been invited to do a presentation this week about Hygge and how to transition your home from the cooler months into spring. We did a similar presentation in December about doing the opposite - transitioning your home for the cooler months - which you can access here. Now we're looking to transition our homes into spring and keep the hygge vibe in our spaces. If you aren't quite familiar with hygge just yet, check out our previous post on this as well - How to Hygge for Fall - which will explain this for you.
Before we dive in, first things first, declutter your space and clear out all of the holiday decor. This will set the stage for clean spring decor.
We'll be breaking this into a few series to cover the home, starting in the family/living room. So let's take a look at how we transition your living spaces for spring.
Greens and Florals
Adding in greens and florals can make a big spring impact to your living spaces. Adding in greens and fresh flowers to your space can bring the outdoors in. Can't seam to keep these alive? Use greens such as moss or faux flowers to keep the look going for longer without the hassle.

Candles
Most, if not all hyggelig environments include candles. Danes associate candles with hygge. It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, candles are always appropriate. Most of the time Danes will use unscented candles which are great for the ambiance if you don't care for scents. We love to use scented candles in living spaces however, because many times we associate certain smells with happy moments in our lives. For Spring, bring in floral scented candles to bring the outdoors in.

Throw Blankets
Simply change out your heavier throws for lighter ones. You can never have too many throw blankets in my opinion, even in the warmer months. There’s nothing like cozying up with a blanket, even in the warmer months when there's a chill in the air, so toss one over the sofa and also store extra ones in a basket for easy access for guests.

Throw Pillows
Pillows are an easy way to change out your décor for the changing seasons. In the warmer months we bring in brighter pillows and fun patterns.
Pillows are such an easy and great way to change up your space and there are so many options that suit any style for any season.

Absolutely love this! I am so motivated to stayer decorating for spring now with some great ideas!
These tips are so inspiring! I’m in the middle of a declutter and spring clean at the moment and you’ve inspired me to add some additional finishing touches to update to Spring.
I love all these tips! I was just looking through my blankets the other day to see what lighter ones I could bring out. 🙂
Candles are so relaxing and totally transform a space. Loving these ideas!
They do don’t they?! Thank you
Thank you dear Erin Haugerud, we are happy that you like our pics ?
I love these tips! I’ve never heard of hyyge before but after reading about it it definitely describes me to a T! 😀 I’ll be incorporating these techniques as we transition. It’s in the 70s here this week! Hallelujah!
Oh you are so lucky to have that weather! We are seriously smack dab in the middle of another huge snow fall! Thank you so much – I do hope you use some of these tips!
Great photos and tips, thanks for sharing!

Love all of these tips, and how simple they are. Really easy to implement in a hectic schedule. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m all about simplistic lifestyle! With 2 (almost 3 kiddos) I need simple! 😉
Love these tips! I’m bringing in allllll the plants this spring to up my hygge game.
Good to hear! It really makes a huge difference! Try a snake plant! These are seriously my favorite plant – they take little time to care for, they aren’t fussy and they are just about the only house plant to release oxygen at night 😉
I saw some of your posts on Instagram love it, I love your home too. You definitely brought in the touches of spring
Thank you! Glad you check out our IG account! It’s where we share all of our info!
I just learned about Hygge a couple weeks ago and I love it. My home is decorated with a little bit of farmhouse, but I would like to add some of these elements! I always have candles burning but now I need some greenery!
Greens are such an important element! I say try for the real deal first and see – there are so many benefits to having some green in the home!
These are all so simple and look like they make the biggest difference!
Thank You!
I’m not familiar with Hygee at all, but I love the pointers for changing up your decor with the seasons. Greenery, candles, and throw pillow covers are all simple ways to transition your space. I’m about to incorporate some of this is my new place to put my personal touch on it since it was already furnished and decorated when I moved in.
Great! It’s all about simplicity!
i love the idea of adding greenery to your decor. I will definitely be looking for ways to incorporate it!
Perfect! I hope you do! It makes such a huge impact!
OH I love this! your home looks so welcoming! I personally hygge-d up my home with a blanket ladder and some fresh pillows 🙂

Thank you so much! Glad you found some inspiration!
I love hygge! I wrote a series on it too! The details in your home pictures are great, I am always keeping an eye for details to add.
Isn’t it just a wonderful way of life?! Maybe some day I will move to Denmark to be among the happiest people in the world.
Using greenery to bring the outside in is a great idea! I can pretend spring came early too! 🙂
It’s all about pretending when you are just down right tired of winter 😉
I am in the process of putting out spring decor in our home and these are great tips! I’m a huge fan of candles and always have one lit. Now all I need to do is get some greenery!
Good for you! Getting that jump start on spring decor as well! I can’t wait for that amazing weather!
I ‘m a big fan of Hygge! But you probably won’t notice it in my house, haha. Love how everything comes together in these pictures. One day my house will be so Hygge, but for now, I’ll have to make do with some mismatched pillows, a blanket or two and a nice cup of tea :).
Well – that’s your hygge! It’s all about enjoying what you love! You do you!
I am so ready for Spring!! Great ideas, especially adding in the touches of green. Off to Hobby Lobby for moss! Thanks for the fresh new ideas!
All perfect cozy essentials to add to any home!
