(Using Quilts, Wallpaper & Vintage Touches)

As winter fades away, there’s nothing more refreshing than giving your bedroom a springtime refresh. You don’t need a full remodel to get that breezy, sunshine-filled feeling—just a few thoughtful touches using quilts, wallpaper, and vintage finds can totally transform your space. Here are 7 easy (and budget-friendly) ways to bring a breath of fresh air into your bedroom this spring.

1. Swap Heavy Bedding for Lightweight Quilts

Pack away those thick winter comforters and bring out your favorite lightweight quilts. Choose ones in soft pastels, florals, or gingham for that classic spring vibe. Handmade quilts or vintage-inspired patchwork ones add a sweet, personal touch. Bonus points if they have a history—there’s nothing like wrapping up in a quilt that’s been passed down through the family!

2. Add a Statement Wallpaper Accent Wall

Nothing says “fresh start” like a wallpaper makeover. Florals, botanical prints, or soft watercolor designs work beautifully in a bedroom setting. Try it on one wall behind your headboard to create a focal point without overwhelming the space. Peel-and-stick options make this a low-commitment project with big payoff.

3. Layer in Vintage Finds

Spring is the perfect excuse to go treasure hunting! Add vintage mirrors, old wooden crates for bedside storage, or an antique vanity to bring soul and character to your space. Don’t be afraid to mix eras—it’s the patina and personality that make these pieces pop.

4. Introduce Light, Airy Curtains

Swap out dark or heavy drapes for light linen or cotton curtains that let that spring sunshine stream in. Soft white or sheer panels will brighten up your space instantly and give everything a fresh, breezy look.

5. Style a Quilt as a Wall Hanging

Turn a beautiful quilt into artwork by hanging it on the wall. This not only adds texture and color but also highlights the craftsmanship and heritage behind it. Vintage or handmade quilts are perfect for this—especially those with spring-inspired patterns or pastel tones.

6. Bring in Spring Blooms (Fresh or Faux!)

Add life to your bedroom with flowers—real or realistic faux ones. Vintage pitchers, mason jars, or old enamelware make charming vases for your blooms. Place them on a nightstand, dresser, or windowsill for an easy mood booster.

7. Mix in Seasonal Throw Pillows & Accessories

Don’t underestimate the power of a few spring-themed pillows! Think florals, soft checks, or light lace. Pair them with a vintage crochet throw or a quilt folded at the foot of your bed for that just-right layered look. Add in a couple of thrifted knick-knacks, like an old alarm clock or framed botanical prints, and your room will feel like a fresh spring morning.

Final Thought

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to stop with tidying—it’s also about creating space for joy, warmth, and new energy. By using quilts, wallpaper, and vintage accents, you can create a bedroom that feels both nostalgic and new, cozy and light, lived-in and ready for the sunshine.

So fluff those pillows, hang that pretty quilt, and open your windows—spring has officially arrived!
