Spring Forward: Seasonal Table Refresh
Spring Table Decor That Feels Like the Season
There’s something magical about the shift to daylight saving time. While losing an hour of sleep can feel like a small hurdle, the payoff is worth it—longer, light-filled evenings that invite us to linger a little longer, enjoy al fresco dining, and ease into the new season.
As we welcome this shift, small rituals can help make the transition feel more intentional. One of the simplest? A spring home refresh that starts with your table, incorporating fresh colors and textures that bring the outdoors in.
Bringing the outdoors in is a natural way to celebrate the season. Seasonal tablescape ideas like floral prints, woven textures, and fresh pops of color instantly brighten a space, setting the tone for relaxed gatherings or even a quiet breakfast by the window. The Gardenia Vine Berry collection, with its mix of soft botanicals and bold pink and orange hues, feels like spring in full bloom. A simple canvas table runner, layered with crisp cloth napkins and natural woven placemats, creates an effortless setting—perfect for spring entertaining or a midweek meal that feels just a little more special. To complete the look, add a fresh bouquet (even a handful of grocery store flowers in a glass jar works wonders), pour a chilled glass of something light, and let the evening unfold.
Simple Ways to Ease Into Daylight Saving Time
The time change can throw off even the best of routines, but a few small shifts make it easier to adjust:
Soak up the Morning Light
Natural light is the best way to reset your internal clock. Open the curtains first thing in the morning and, if possible, step outside for a few minutes to soak in the early sunshine.
Embrace Al Fresco Dining
The extra daylight is an invitation to take meals outdoors. A beautifully set spring table decor moment—whether on a patio, balcony, or backyard—encourages slow, intentional evenings.
Ease Into the Evening
As the light lingers, take advantage of it. Whether it’s an after-dinner walk, reading a book by the window, or setting a relaxed spring entertaining atmosphere with candlelight, make the most of the longer days.
Adjust Your Sleep Gradually
If the time shift feels abrupt, try going to bed and waking up 15 minutes earlier for a few days before the change. Small adjustments help make the transition smoother.
Savor the Flavors of the Season
Spring is the time for bright, fresh ingredients. Lean into lighter meals—citrusy salads, fresh berries, crisp greens—and take the time to set a table that reflects the season’s vibrance.With longer days ahead, there’s more time to enjoy the little moments—whether it’s a leisurely meal, an extra chapter of a good book before bed, or a few deep breaths of fresh evening air. However you choose to embrace the shift, let it be a gentle welcome into the new season.
