Notes from the Box

“Silver white winters that melt into springs… these are a few of my favorite things.”

March has a way of quietly signaling change.

The days are still cool—sometimes gray, sometimes slushy—but something is shifting. You can feel it. Houseplants are pushing out fresh leaves. Backyard chickens are laying again. The light lingers just a little longer in the evenings.

Spring is on its way—even if it hasn’t fully arrived.

At Out of the Box, we love this in-between season. It’s not about rushing into spring—it’s about easing your home into it.

Why March Is the Perfect Time to Refresh Your Home

There are two kinds of people in March.

Some see cold, damp, and lingering winter. Others notice the soft glow of what’s coming next.

We fall firmly into the second group.

This transitional season is the perfect opportunity to refresh your home without a full redesign. Small, intentional changes can:

• Lighten your space
• Introduce fresh energy
• Reflect the shift in season naturally

Think of it as a gentle awakening for your interiors.

Bring in Early Spring with Greenery and Natural Texture

One of the easiest ways to refresh your home for spring is by incorporating greenery—especially green branches and stems.

Not full blooms—yet.

There’s something especially beautiful about greenery that hasn’t quite opened. It mirrors the season perfectly: on the edge of something new.

How to Style Transitional Greenery

• Place loose stems in vintage or architectural vessels
• Keep arrangements asymmetrical for a designer look
• Mix textures—soft leaves with structured branches

At Out of the Box, you’ll find one-of-a-kind silk arrangements and loose stems that feel natural, elevated, and timeless.

Layer in Warmth with Candles and Lighting

Even as we move toward spring, evenings still call for warmth.

Candles are one of the simplest ways to create ambiance while transitioning your space into a lighter season.

• Add instant atmosphere
• Create a calming environment
• Complement both winter and spring décor

Design Tip: Mix Materials

Pair candle holders with:

• Natural wood
• Stone or marble
• Soft greenery

The result is a layered, inviting look that feels elevated—not overly seasonal.

Use Pillows to Instantly Brighten and Soften a Room

If you want the fastest spring refresh possible, start with pillows.

They’re one of the most effective ways to:

• Introduce color
• Soften structured furniture
• Refresh a room without commitment

How to Transition Your Textiles

• Swap heavy winter tones for lighter hues
• Incorporate subtle patterns or texture
• Layer instead of replacing everything

A few well-placed pillows can completely transform your space.

The Beauty of Seasonal Nesting

This time of year invites a different kind of nesting.

Not the deep, cozy winter version—but something lighter. More intentional. More hopeful.

It’s about making small updates that:

• Reflect changing light
• Invite freshness into your home
• Help your space feel alive again

You don’t need a full redesign. Just a few thoughtful changes can create that shift.
