Coastal Kitchen Decorating Ideas for Spring

decorating· home tour· Spring

As the saying goes, March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Well it certainly has roared its arrival this past week along the east coast! Spring is here and is starting to look beautiful with new budding trees and blooming bulbs which means it’s time to add a few fresh touches to my home. I’m joining some friends this week for the Simple Spring Styling Tour hosted by my friend Jennifer of Town and Country Living. Today I’m sharing a few of my Coastal Kitchen Decorating Ideas for Spring. Be sure to scroll down the page to see all the spring styling tips and ideas the bloggers are sharing for specific rooms in your home! 

Spring Kitchen Decorating Ideas

Do you decorate you kitchen for each season? For the month of March and April we go green! I try to keep the focus for spring more on simplicity, minimalism, with small splashes of aqua and lime in accessories, fresh citrus and lush greenery. Most of all I am honestly just trying to keep it clean!

My kids tell me that I have a tropical houseplant obsession. For whatever reason, I can’t pass up a bargain on any tropical plant. Maybe they remind me of summer and anything that puts me in a summer-state-of-mind is a positive thing! Regardless, they clean and purify the stuffy winter indoor air and make me happy. Be sure to check out my post: 10 Top Houseplants that Clean the Air to learn which houseplants are best for your home.  

Spring Decorating Ideas - Coastal Kitchen

The best thing about decorating with houseplants for spring is that they are usually easy to maintain and won’t die in a week like cut flowers. A few philodendron stems, like the one on my island in the aqua bottle, will last for nearly a month! This pothos has exploded in growth these past few months and loves receiving some TLC! Time to give the houseplants a shower! 

Coastal Kitchen - Spring Decorating Ideas

Each week, on Mondays to be precise, I water all the plants in my house. I have found that keeping a consistent schedule works best for both the plants and me! About once a month though I will bring the plants into the kitchen or my master bathroom shower for a leaf rinsing. Since most indoor plants are usually tropical in nature, they thrive on humidity. Rinsing the dust and dirt off the leaves is so good for them. It allows them to breathe better and produce chlorophyl more easily. It also helps with washing away any mites or little critters that might be invading your plants. A quick rinse off is all it takes and then I allow the leaves to air dry.  

Caring for Houseplants

Besides decorating with houseplants, switching out accessories is one of the easiest things you can do. I try to keep the color palette narrowed down to 2 or 3 colors tops. So for our glass cabinets I took down most of the white dishware and replaced them with more coastal themed accessories in shades of aqua, turquoise and lime. I added a cute fish platter, two vintage, giant, green glass floats and an aqua bud vase collection. This works great too if you have open shelving in your kitchen. 

Coastal Kitchen Design

I added a bright and cheery throw rug at the sink. I’m on the lookout for a long runner which would work better but the little rug is fine for now. 

Coastal Kitchen

An all white kitchen can look a bit sterile at times so I like to bring a bit of warmth to the space with natural wood like in bowls and cutting boards. I pulled this carved wood boat from the family room and filled it with juicy limes. 

White Coastal Kitchen

Here’s a little decorating trick. To give the illusion of full and overflowing fruit bowls, first fill the bowl with a dishtowel or plastic grocery bags. Next add a layer of raffia, straw, or drape a pretty dish towel over the top and then pile on the fruit. 😉

    Your kitchen has to be one of my favorites! The fresh style you have is gorgeous. Everything looks perfect and cheery, love it!

    kim your kitchen is gorgeous. i’m glad you mentioned the tip about the fruit. i thought you really needed all those limes for your margaritas!

    • Kim @ Sand & Sisal says

      March 8, 2018 at 3:09 pm

      Thank you Laura! HA! Sadly but no… I don’t even drink Margaritas to be honest! I do use them for mojitos & in hubby’s Landshark’s! I also use limes in a ton of my cooking (chicken tacos, flautas, guacamole, lime & cilantro rice, etc.). Limes are a constant 365 days a year in our home though. I especially love them with club soda. They got me through pregnancy with these 4 kiddos! 😉

    OMG – that pothos is crazy healthy! Your kitchen is so pretty. I love the light fixture over your table and the two pendants over the island too. Lights really make a difference in a room and you’ve got a great eye for them. Thanks so much for being on the spring tour!

    Your kitchen is so stunning! I love how bright, open, airy, fresh, clean and cozy it all is! These are fantastic ideas, I love how you decorate with “natural” elements, those are my favorite to decorate with and they always work so well when it comes to beach decorating!
    Thank you for the wonderful post, I will for sure be trying these out!

    So bright and happy. Love the blue huge vase, may I ask where that is from?

    • Kim @ Sand & Sisal says

      May 29, 2020 at 2:55 pm

      Thank you Erin! That vase is probably 20+ years old and to be honest I don’t remember where I got it, it’s so old! Homegoods, Marshalls, or AtHome stores might have them. Ours just opened yesterday but I haven’t ventured there yet.
