Spring in Baltimore is a beautiful thing. After months of gray skies and cozy layers, Baltimore and the surrounding Harford and Cecil county areas come alive with cherry blossoms, fresh breezes, and the kind of golden sunlight that makes everything feel new. It’s the perfect time to bring that same sense of renewal indoors.
At Christy Brown Interior Design, we believe seasonal decorating should feel fresh, not fussy. Whether you’re a homeowner in Baltimore, Harford or Cecil county, here are a few designer-approved tips to help you transition your home for spring—with style.
1. Lighten Up (Literally)
Spring is all about natural light. Swap out heavy drapes for linen panels or breezy sheers to let in as much sunshine as possible. If privacy is a concern, try layering—a sheer inner panel with a light-filtering roman shade gives you the best of both worlds.
Pro tip: Clean your windows inside and out. It’s a simple fix that makes a surprisingly big impact.
2. Freshen with Florals (Without Overdoing It)
You don’t need to fill every room with bouquets, but a few well-placed floral accents go a long way. Think hand-picked blooms on the entry console, a wildflower-inspired pillow on the sofa, or a wallpapered powder room with a modern botanical print.
3. Switch Up Your Textiles
Put away the chunky knits and wool throws. Spring calls for cotton, linen, and lightweight layers in soft, welcoming tones. It’s also the perfect excuse to refresh your bedding. A new duvet cover in a muted green or sky blue can instantly shift the mood of your bedroom.
And if you’ve been meaning to reupholster that tired accent chair—now’s the time. We can help you select designer fabrics that bring in texture, pattern, and personality.
4. Go Green—Literally
There’s nothing like a pop of green to bring a space to life. Incorporate potted plants or small indoor trees to connect your interiors with the outdoors. Fiddle leaf figs, olive trees, or even a simple snake plant add structure and softness.
No green thumb? Faux plants have come a long way—and we can help you style them so they look effortlessly natural.
5. Edit & Curate
Spring is the season of clearing out, and that goes for your décor, too. You don’t need to fill every surface. Try editing your shelves, rotating in seasonal accessories, or simply leaving space for the eye to rest.
This kind of intentional styling is something we offer as part of our full-service interior design packages—especially for clients in Baltimore neighborhoods who want a curated, lived-in look that still feels refined.
