Rustic Farmhouse Spring Centerpiece Idea

ByStacy Ling Updated On

Looking for ways to decorate your home for spring? Wait until you see how easy it is to make this spring centerpiece idea for the dining table.

I love to infuse my passion for gardening with my home decor.

When I am unable to get outside and garden, I enjoy playing with flowers and creating beautiful arrangements.

For spring, I designed this gorgeous magnolia centerpiece and love the result.

Since I love to decorate with seasonal faux florals and greens, I purchase a few every season to add to my collection.

As much as I love to buy real flowers from the market, they don’t last long and can get costly.

I prefer the ‘set and forget’ approach to home decor and look for authentic-looking faux florals to match the season.

Here’s what you need:

  • Greens
  • Florals
  • Organic Elements like berries, branches, pine cones, etc.
  • Vessel
  • Dry floral foam or Floral Tape (optional)

How to Create a Rustic Farmhouse Spring Centerpiece

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love this vintage toolbox.

I found it in the fall at Vermont antique store and thought it would make the perfect container for a centerpiece.

Well, fast forward six months and I’m still using it as a seasonal centerpiece.

To decorate, I simply change the florals. It takes about five minutes but completely transforms the space with the current season.

Before we needed to stay home, I picked up these gorgeous faux magnolias from my favorite local nursery.

I saw them in the shop and knew I had to have them!

Since I’m gravitating to neutrals this year, they are the perfect compliment to my spring decor.

When creating an arrangement, I gather everything needed to design the centerpiece.

Depending on the size of the vessel, I grab enough greens and florals to stuff inside and lean towards overstuffing versus understuffing a container.

For this centerpiece, I used two bunches of fern-like greens, three large magnolia flowers, seven small magnolia flowers on stems and magnolia foliage stems.

The toolbox is not that deep so I did not use floral foam or another item to anchor the stems.

Instead, I started with two large fluffy bunches of faux greens to use as the base.

Because these bunches are so thick, they will help anchor the rest of the florals and fill in the base of the toolbox.

While at the nursery, I picked up two types of magnolias: large flowers and smaller flowers on branches.

I added the smaller flowers on branches first to the arrangement because they anchor the larger blooms.

Once situated in the toolbox, I tucked in the larger magnolia flowers.

After tucking the larger blossoms in, I added a few magnolia foliage stems.

The leaves are large and oversized so they add dimension and texture to the arrangement.

Doesn’t it look great? It’s so easy to do and it takes very little time to create.

  2. I just joined your Charming Homes & Gardens link party with Dabbling & Decorating, which led me to your blog. Your tool box posts have been so helpful and illuminating! So many times I see tool box posts or images but there there’s no handle across the top like yours has (and by the way, it IS gorgeous!). I have a tool box exactly like yours, with a handle across the top. It was part of display in a booth at a craft fair. Happily for me, it had a price tag on it. I don’t they had intended to sell, but they really had no choice! It was already a dull flat green so I repainted it a richer green. So please know, your designs and ideas have inspired me to be more creative and use my toolbox more! I have used fairy lights, but not wrapped around the handle, as you did – brilliant! Thank you for sharing your creativity and your step-by-step!
