Is it just us, or does late Spring feel like Mother Nature’s version of a wardrobe change? One minute it's all pale petals and pastel skies, and the next—bam!—everything’s in full bloom, glowing with rich, sun-soaked color. It’s the season when your houseplants grow wild, your sandals come out of hiding, and suddenly… that old dresser or faded flower pot starts begging for a makeover!
Early spring often brings with it soft pastels and airy neutrals—colors that echo the first blooms and gentle breezes. But as we move deeper into the season, those delicate tones give way to richer, more grounded shades. Think sage greens, muted terracottas, dusky blues, and creamy off-whites. These tones capture the warmth of the sun-drenched earth, the vibrancy of flourishing gardens, and the welcoming energy of outdoor gatherings.
This natural progression is a great cue for your next painting project. It's the perfect time to refresh pieces that transition your home from spring to summer.
Here are some on-trend Country Chic Paint colors that beautifully reflect the late spring shift:
Fresh Mustard – Is a striking and retro-inspired mustard yellow that adds a pop of bold color and personality to any space
Persimmon – Is the perfect, bold, citrus orange. It’s an eye-catching color that makes us think of a refreshing glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Poppy – Is a stunning, lively red color that draws inspiration from vibrant fields of poppy flowers.
Bling Bling – Is a daring, vibrant blue that catches the eye with its electric intensity.
Whoop-De-Do – Is a vibrant and energetic peacock teal color that is sure to make a statement in any space.
DIY Ideas for Late Spring Projects
Need some inspiration to get started? Here are a few easy yet impactful ways to bring late-spring shades into your home and outdoor spaces:
Porch Planter Refresh: Use bold, earthy tones like Fireworks or Wanderess on terracotta pots and wooden planters for a sophisticated update.
Furniture Flip: Breathe new life into thrifted furniture with creamy neutrals like Cobblestone or Road Trip. Top it off with a soft wax finish for a vintage touch.

Patio Perfection: Give your outdoor table and chairs a charming upgrade using Sunset Glow, then style with floral cushions for a cohesive look.
Embrace the Season with Intention
Late spring isn’t just about pretty colors (though we’re obviously obsessed)—it’s about setting the mood! As we throw open the windows, fire up the grill, and spend more time outside, it’s only right that our spaces get in on the seasonal glow-up too. With Country Chic Paint’s eco-friendly, easy-to-use paint, turning tired pieces into sunny showstoppers is basically a springtime ritual—and way more fun than weeding the garden!
So grab your brush, choose a shade that speaks to you, and let the late spring color shift guide your next DIY transformation. Whether you're updating a piece of furniture or revamping your entire patio, you're not just painting—you’re telling a story of the season.
