Spring Decorating Ideas for a Dining Room Table
When I begin brainstorming for my dining room table, I love a clean slate. So I always start by clearing off my dining room table, and then I place my trusty white linen table cloth on it.
I love the crispness of a white canvas. If the table and my buffet aren’t cleared off, I get hung up, and my creativity doesn’t flow. So whether you’re tackling a bookshelf, coffee table, buffet, or dining room table, take the time to clean off all surfaces.
Next, you’ll have to plan the rest of the table. I knew immediately that I wanted a table that reflected a garden that had blossomed in our dining room. So with that in mind, I started with my focal point, which brings me to our first question.
What do you put in the middle of a table?
Before I began decorating, I contemplated what I would place in the middle of the table. This year, I went with fresh flowers.
You can place most anything in the middle, a basket of Easter eggs, a holiday figurine, a trio of candles, and more. The sky’s the limit, so be creative. One Easter, I placed the cute Pottery Bunnies in the middle. You can view this Easter Table post here.
Once I decided on a flower arrangement, I needed to figure out what color scheme I would focus on. And lately, I love yellow and lavender. So last Saturday, we took a trip into San Francisco to the Flower Market. I had such a blast picking a bunch of beautiful flowers for my arrangement.
How do you decorate for spring on a budget?
Outside of the flowers, I pulled together things that I already own. A white linen tablecloth, white plates, lavender napkins, glass candlesticks, Glassybaby candle votives, tapered candles, and my favorite Mosser cake stands.
I also strung my paper garland above to give the room one more garden element. Make sure to check out the tutorial since it is always a great garland to have in your supplies.
Also, bring in flowers from your garden to save some money. I brought in my purple vines from my Happy Wanderer plant. When I snipped some vines in my garden, the bees didn’t want to share the sweet blossoms, and they buzzed me a ton.
If you were wondering what flowers I bought here is a helpful list. You can inexpensively replicate this arrangement with mostly daffodils, tulips and a sprinkling of stock.
Here are the flowers I placed on my Spring table.
- Daffodils
- Yellow Tulips
- Purple Tulips
- Purple and Green Cabbage
- Creamy White Double Blossom Daffodils – Erlicheer
- White Icelandic Poppies
- Lavender Stock
- Happy Wanderer Vine – Purple
I placed my flowers in the rustic bucket and placed a big pot inside. My pail has holes and won’t hold water. To keep the flowers in place, I used a heavy metal flower frog. Here is a link to a page of them.
Have fun with your decor!
Surprise your family and friends with some fun decorations. I always love to smile at cute things.
I wish I could find these cute birds I bought last year. If you find them, please let me know.
This little bunny is for Leslie. It is the cutest and I hope she likes it! I’m always placing whimsical items in our home.

As an expert in spring decorating ideas for dining room tables, I can confidently say that I have a deep understanding and first-hand experience in creating stunning table arrangements that will bring fresh life to your Easter celebrations. Allow me to share some simple yet impactful ideas that will elevate your table decor.
When it comes to decorating a dining room table for spring, I always begin with a clean slate. Clearing off the table and placing a white linen tablecloth creates a crisp and fresh canvas for the decorations to shine. It's essential to have a clutter-free space as it allows creativity to flow effortlessly. This principle applies not only to the dining room table but also to other surfaces like bookshelves, coffee tables, and buffets.
Next, it's time to plan the rest of the table. For a spring-themed table, I always aim to create a garden-like atmosphere. The focal point of the table is crucial, and I often contemplate what to place in the middle. Fresh flowers are a classic choice that never fails to bring life and vibrancy to the table. However, the possibilities are endless. You can opt for a basket of Easter eggs, a holiday figurine, a trio of candles, or any other creative centerpiece that suits your style and theme.
Choosing a color scheme is another important aspect of spring table decor. Personally, I have found yellow and lavender to be a delightful combination. To bring this color scheme to life, a trip to the local flower market is always a treat. It allows you to handpick a variety of beautiful flowers for your arrangement. However, if you're decorating on a budget, don't worry. You can still create a stunning table by utilizing items you already own. A white linen tablecloth, white plates, lavender napkins, glass candlesticks, and tapered candles are all versatile pieces that can be repurposed. Additionally, consider adding a personal touch by incorporating flowers from your own garden. This not only saves money but also adds a unique and natural element to your table.
To create a cohesive look, I often incorporate other elements that tie into the garden theme. For instance, I string a paper garland above the table to add an extra touch of whimsy. It's a simple DIY project that can be reused for future occasions. Additionally, I love bringing in small decorative items like cute birds or bunnies to surprise and delight my family and friends. Whimsical touches always bring a smile to everyone's faces.
If you're seeking more inspiration, I encourage you to explore the spring and Easter tables created by my friends in the blogging community. They have shared their unique and beautiful table decor ideas that are sure to inspire you.
In conclusion, spring decorating ideas for dining room tables involve creating a clean and fresh canvas, choosing a focal point that reflects the essence of spring, incorporating a color scheme that resonates with you, and utilizing items you already own to create a stunning table. Remember to let your creativity flow and have fun with the process. Surprise your loved ones with unique and delightful decorations that will make your Easter celebrations truly memorable. Cheers to a beautiful table and a joyful spring season!
