With spring comes the irresistible urge to freshen up your home and make it more inviting, especially if it’s been months since you’ve hosted a friendly get-together. From incorporating a new color palette to updating your decor with spring-inspired accents, there are plenty of ways to bring the season into your home. At Macy’s, you can find a selection of spring-friendly decor that speaks to your personal taste, whether you prefer trendier options, a classic approach, or unique, conversation-starter pieces. It’s the place to go when you want to confidently own your style and create a space that perfectly reflects your personality.

​​With such a wide range of options, it’s no wonder that TikTok creator Audrey Stowe Martinez has found home decor items at Macy’s that match her style. Martinez often shares tips on how to rejuvenate her space, and she’s using her own expertise to throw a dinner party for the first time since having her baby. When it comes to sprucing up the dining area, Martinez is sticking to her usual hosting style: simple yet elevated. “I love to keep the table decor conversational, while not making it too busy so that the focus can be on enjoying company.”

A self-described “neutral-loving girl,” Martinez’s home decor picks complement her Macy’s clothing finds, too. “Neutrals are always a safe play for me, so the dress I’m wearing definitely feels the most ‘me,’ she says. “The bow detailing adds a fun touch along with the rattan heels that are some of my go-tos in the summer. I wanted the focus to be on the colorful tablescape, so a linen dress and heels keeps it easy for me.”

Ahead, see how Martinez curates the look for her ideal spring dinner party.

Flutter and Floral

When it comes to her dream atmosphere for a social gathering, Martinez is going for “light and airy” with playful butterfly details. While a crisp white plate setting is always chic for a spring feast, Martinez also threw in the butterfly salad plates, which, she says “truly speak for themselves,” and are one of her favorite finds. “They’re a fun statement!” she adds.

Marvelously Muted

Spring might motivate some people to go all out with the color, but if you’re like Martinez and prefer more of a neutral vibe, you can still shake things up in a more subtle way, like with a muted color palette. For example, if overly saturated shades aren’t your thing, go for a nice sage green or blush hue. The sage-colored coupe glasses are one of Martinez’s favorites: “I love a fun cocktail when hosting friends, and these glasses are so perfect for the occasion.”

Understated Elegance

An easy way to spruce up a table setting are pieces that make an impact but don’t distract. Martinez’s advice for those who want to become all-star hosts? Get a simple dinner plate set, a vase, or an interesting salad bowl or serving plate — maybe some standout candle holders, too, if you want to kick things up a notch. “That’s really all you need, and you can make a table beautiful with some fresh flowers,” she says. “It doesn’t have to be fancy or overwhelming; keeping it simple takes the stress off.”
