Decorating my home is something that I look forward to every season. It’s such a fun way to switch up the ambiance, give a space a new feel, and sometimes give a space a much-needed refresh.
Plus, if you invest in just a few seasonal decor essentials each year, you can do it with minimal expense! So, today I’m sharing a roundup of home decor essentials for every season that can be used in different rooms in your home.
Home Decor Essentials for Every Season
Winter Home Decor Essentials
Winter is the season for all things cozy and warm! I love pulling out my winter home decor each year and giving my home a touch of warmth. There are a lot of winter decorations that will work in any home and I’m going to share a few of my favorites.
Garlands
There is something about a lush green garland that is so perfect for wintertime. Often garlands are used to decorate for Christmas, but they also work perfectly as a piece of winter decor!
They add the perfect touch of the beautiful outdoors inside your home. Plus, there are many different options such as pine, cedar, eucalyptus, or a mixture of all of them.
I love this long-needle pine garland from Target! For more garland inspo, check out the list of my favorite faux garlands here.
Candles and Candle Holders
A great way to create a cozy winter vibe in your house is to use candles! Not only do they add some warmth to your home, but they can also lend some beautiful winter aromas as well.
This candle from Amazon gives off the most incredible balsam and cedar smell that will fill your home with a rich winter scent! As for candle holders, this set of pretty brass taper candleholders are a beautiful option.
These are a decor staple you can use year round too! I use these faux flicker candles with them, which run on a timer and are perfect if you have young children in the house!
Faux Trees
Other than the obvious example of a Christmas tree, there are also a lot of smaller faux trees that can be displayed all winter long. After Christmas is over you can still decorate your home with cute little trees!
I love this flocked potted faux tree from McGee and Co. The snowy look is perfect for winter and would look great outside your front door!
Or for an indoor option, something like this cute faux cedar tree would look great in your living room or even for kitchen styling!
Spring Home Decor Essentials
For me, the spring season is the perfect opportunity to give my home a much-needed refresh after the chilly winter months. I have a few spring decorating essentials that can help you to get your Living Room spring ready.
Baskets
A great way to add some texture to your home is by adding baskets. Rattan or Wicker ones in particular are great to use as decor because it they have a light, airy and organic look. Perfect for spring!
You can use them to showcase other pieces of spring decor or on their own! These seagrass baskets are a great option for under a console table or in your entryway.
Flowers and Plants
Decorating with flowers or plants in spring colors and fresh greens is one of the easiest and fastest ways to style your home. During the spring season there are so many flower choices, whether they’re in your garden or at the grocery store.
Or if you can’t find the real stuff, there are plenty of faux options as well! These faux cherry blossom branches from AFLORAL are ideal for Spring, and they add a lovely soft pop of color to the space. Or, this faux olive tree from Target is a favorite in my household and I love how realistic it looks!
Throw Blankets
Spring is the perfect season to utilize those thinner throw blankets in the house. Cotton and linen fabrics are great options to keep you the perfect temperature during the spring season.
I like to use lighter colored options like white, or soft pastel colors to match with the rest of my spring decor. This knit throw blanket from Target comes in some pretty colors and it’s made of lightweight knit perfect for transitioning into spring!
Summer Home Decor Essentials
Rugs
Rugs are home decor essentials for a reason. They offer such a huge impact on a space but they’re super easy to update with the seasons.
This gorgeous indoor outdoor rug from Pottery Barn is perfect for summer and it offers some great texture to your space.
Vases
Vases are another must-have when it comes to summer decorating. They’re easy to place amongst your other decor and they’re practical too!
Find a bundle of your favorite flowers and add another element to your decor. They also come in numerous different sizes, colors, and shapes, so you’re sure to find one to your liking.
I adore this gorgeous rattan wrapped vase. I love that it brings a coastal element to your summer decor, but the rattan also adds some welcome texture as well.
Throw Pillows
One of the best ways to change up the vibe during the summer season is by using throw pillows. They are a creative yet subtle way to change the feel of your space without a total room overhaul.
I love to incorporate soft pastels and blue-hued throw pillows into my living room or even on my bed! Target has lots of affordable options like this chambray throw pillow, this woven block print pillow, or even this blue woven one!
Fall Home Decor Essentials
Lanterns
Lanterns are a great way of adding some mood lighting to your home, but they’re also great as decor! Try adding different sizes of lanterns to your space to really add some dimension.
The best part is that you can incorporate them into basically any ear of your home! These lanterns from Walmart are a great choice and you can find them in multiple sizes.
Pumpkins
Probably one of the most popular decor items for Fall is pumpkins. You can get them in multiple different colors, sizes, and shapes so they will work with any theme you’re using for your entryway.
Plus, there are plenty of faux options if you don’t want to deal with the cleanup once the season is over! You’ll be able to find pumpkins both real or faux in stores everywhere during the Fall season. I love to get one new one each year to add to my fall home decor!
Faux Stems
Another option for essential Fall decor is faux stems! I love to use faux stems in my fall decorating because they’re easy to swap out and you don’t have to worry about upkeep.
Plus, this is a piece of decor that will work in literally any room of your house. These Terracotta Eucalyptus leaves are absolutely perfect for fall decorating! The warm orange color of these leaves provides the perfect autumn touch to your home.
Simply drop some branches in your favorite vase for instant fall vibes. For more of my favorite faux stems for fall, check out my post here!
