Ideas for Decorating a Spring Kitchen in the Winter

When cold frigid temperatures have a grip on the outside world, it can still look and feel warm and sunny indoors. Spring decorating can make a tremendous difference and change your frame of mind, and what better time to begin than on one of the coldest days of winter? Do not wait for open windows and warm breezes to begin adding sunny decor. Start now with the following spring kitchen decorating ideas. Put a damper on winter, and get a head start on warm weather decor.

Line a Kitchen Windowsill with Sunny Primroses

If you want sunny spring flowers on a kitchen windowsill but do not want the typical bulb varieties, consider primroses. They come in several beautiful colors including white, orange, bright yellow, deep purple and vibrant pink. Line a windowsill with a row of potted primroses in colors of your choice. They require cooler temperatures along with sunshine and moist soil. With proper care, they will add vibrancy and beauty to your kitchen throughout winter, spring, summer and fall.

Pull Out the Floral Linens

When decorating a spring kitchen in the midst of winter, put away anything related to cold temperatures. Get rid of sparkling snowflakes, cute snowmen and anything that includes snow scenes. Pull out floral dishtowels and related items instead. It is amazing how a few simple linens can change the overall appearance of a kitchen. If they are a little worse for wear, buy a few new sets. Choose towels, dishcloths and potholders that include existing kitchen accent hues that coordinate with the rest of the space. They will brighten the kitchen beautifully.

Grow Grass Under Glass

Green grass is iconic of spring. It begins to emerge before the earliest bulb flowers, and although it is considered outdoor growth, it can be used to add beauty and color to a winter kitchen. Plant grass seed in a container of rich organic soil, and create an eco system by adding a clear domed lid. Trim the growth as necessary to keep it neat, and add a wild violet or a clover or two if something more is desired. You will be able to enjoy your own patch of fresh green grass indoors, even if your outdoor world is still under the spell of winter.
