4Embrace an Open-Door Policy
Buff StricklandIf you've been on the fence about trying out a screened door, there has never been a better time. We love the easy, breezy feel a screen door instantly brings to a farmhouse. Opt for doors that have a little structure and decorative detail for a design level-up.
5Create a Seasonal Display

Max Kim-BeeTake advantage of the brighter days and use an assortment of reflective surfaces to bounce light through your entryway. If your entryway is on the smaller side, try hanging a gallery wall of mirrors to get a similar effect.

10Set a Seasonal Table
Becky Luigart-StaynerGet ahead of your spring entertaining and lay a table that will keep you inspired all season long. Tip: Layer in happy spring colors and ditsy block print patterns to add a light, playful flair. Bunny figurines bring a whimsical note.
11Go All-In on Wallpaper
Chase DanielIf you're ready to take on a big project, try wallpaper for the ultimate spring refresh. Take a cue from this galley kitchen, designed by Austin-based firm Sidetracked Studio, and use brightly colored, tone-on-tone floral print for a low-effort, high-impact seasonal spin. (A reproduction of "Larkspur 1872" by William Morris is shown here.) Pair with a complimentary paint color, like Sidetracked Studio did here with Jamestown Blue by Benjamin Moore, on the trim to tie it all together.
12Bring Out the Baskets
CARLOS GARCIAThe Easter Bunny isn't the only one who loves a good basket! We love the whimsical flair a hanging bevy of baskets brings to the home. Plus, it makes for an eye-catching storage method that just might free up some of that much-needed closet space. (Psst... you can check out our other Easter basket DIY ideas here!)

20Hang a Spring Garland
David HillegasGarland isn't just for the winter holidays, it works for Easter, too! Set up time for a craft-ernoon with the kids to create a blue-speckled egg garland.
To make: Use an awl to poke holes in ends of papier-mâché eggs, then paint eggs white, robin’s-egg blue, and turquoise with acrylic paint. Once dry, spatter with dark blue paint. Thread twine through holes, and hang, adding a tassel detail, if desired.
