Freshen up your home for spring season with your very own spring tablescape.
As we bid farewell to the cold winter and welcome the warmth of spring, our minds turn to a bright color palette, fresh flowers, and outdoor gatherings for this time of year. One of the best ways to bring the influences of spring to your interior is by creating a beautiful spring table setting that reflects the vibrant and rejuvenating spirit of the season.
We will discuss key elements for creating a stunning spring tablescape that will have your guests swooning. So let's dive in to designing spring inspiration you will love to embellish with for your table decorations. After all, decorating is all about the details.
I teamed up with Adams and Co. and Krumpets Home Decor for this beautiful spring tablescape. They have such fun spring decor items to perfectly compliment my existing place settings. Any time you can incorporate gorgeous details, eye-catching accents, or stunning spring centerpieces, the better the room is as a whole.
Spring Tablescape Ideas to Make a Stunning Dining Room
1. Create a Main Centerpiece
When first designing your table centerpieces, keep in mind that you want to choose a piece that can serve as a main focal point. Ideally, any of the following are great options for a simple centerpiece:
- Vase with your favorite flower
- Dough bowl
- Mason jars with a floral arrangement or candles
- Candle holders
- Bowl with fruit
- Tiered tray
When I am decorating my table I like to use some type of wooden tray like my dough bowl in the center. It works for any special occasion like Easter brunch or Mother's Day, or for your everyday casual dining experience. A dough bowl helps to contain all of my decor. Plus, when it is dinner time I simply remove the bowl and the dinner table is all cleared off.
To create a main centerpiece, I started with a white vase and white flowers. Colorful blooms are a popular centerpiece option. Since I didn't want overwhelming Easter table decor, I tried to keep my simple table decor fairly neutral for spring.
2. Accent Centerpiece With Natural Elements
Use natural elements like greenery, branches or pinecones as part of your centerpiece design. Using these elements creates a neutral color scheme and is the perfect addition for adding different textures to your spring dining table.
I love to use greenery in my centerpieces. You can use faux greenery or plants, or fresh greens too. For my greenery, I used:
- Boxwood wreath from Krumpet's Home Decor
- 2 Different boxwood topiaries also from Krumpet's Decor
- Eucalyptus stems to add a silver green
- Lambs ear to add a fuzzy texture and a soft pale green.
- I also added some real hydrangeas (blog post here on how to make your hydrangeas last longer)
I also added in a couple wooden bird's houses painted white. It makes the white palette pop, but also appeals to the natural elements.
3. Frame Your Centerpiece
Frame the focal point at the center of the table. This will help to draw attention to your centerpiece. I like to frame my centerpiece using a table runner. You can also use table linens and add in long branches, vines, candles, or additional smaller flowers to centralize the visual point.

4. Start With Neutral Place Settings
When your centerpiece is done, it's time to complete the rest of your easy spring tablescape. One of my favorite tips is to start with neutral place settings and then bring in a splash of color. I find that when I go this route, the table decor isn't as overwhelming and busy.
I chose white plates, then added in a slight teal accent with the bottom dinner plates. This provided me with just enough hint of color for my tablescape for spring. Pastels are a good color palette for spring tables. I also added in beige plate chargers to frame the plates.
Tip: Check out Amazon or Home Goods for thrifty accent plates.
5. Accent With Seasonal Decor
Next up, accent the rest of your table space with seasonal decor. Now because the arrival of spring is near, I am going to bring in a few Easter elements that tie in to the overall look of the spring decor, without being too over-the-top.
Napkin Holders
I incorporated these cute bunny napkin holders from Adams and Co. They are super simple to use and it gets me out of having to do any fancy napkin folding. These are a simple design, while also adding in a fun Easter element with cute little ears peeping over the top of the napkin.
Head of Table Place Settings
Change up your place settings by placing more emphasis on the heads of the table. I opted for an adorable bunny towel and figurines of white little birds to add more elegance on either end of the table.
