This year, I've shown off all my spring decorations around the house, but let me give you a closer look at my spring centerpiece. I get an immense joy rummaging through all my holiday decor in my newly organized attic and decor closet, finding ways to repurpose long-held-onto items in new and exciting ways!

Starting with a burlap runner and a few dishes from the kitchen cabinet, such as plates and placemats, I created a solid foundation. These large items act as anchors for the entire display.

The main focal points were positioned where I wanted them: bunny topiary (he's a personal favorite!), green salad plates, an artificial plant placed on the top tier of the tray, and an adorable bunny butter dish on the bottom.

After setting up the foundational elements, it was time to fill in the gaps. After adjusting and repositioning various items to achieve the perfect balance, I ended up with a visually appealing yet uncluttered display.

The secret to putting together a stunning centerpiece or vignette is varying heights and layering objects. Check out my blog post here for more tips on layering for a chic and cohesive look.

I took full advantage of a tiered tray, gathering spring-inspired items and arranging them in a visually appealing manner. This display strategy can be adopted for tiny trinkets, keeping the display from appearing cluttered.

Back in the day, it was quite popular to have small trinkets strewn across surfaces, but that trend has passed. Using trays is a much more modern and sleek approach to showcasing your favorite items without cluttering your home.
