St. Patrick’s Day decor doesn’t have to be over the top, it can be tastefully integrated into your space as long as you make sure it suits your style and complements (and is complemented by) the decor you already have. Clover, green, pots of gold, rainbows, and all things Irish make great elements to try. Check out twelve of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day decor ideas below for inspiration.
1. Chic flower arrangement
For a chic and understated idea for St. Patrick’s Day decor, add notes of green throughout your space. Here a glass bottle, green hydrangeas, and macarons create a green triad that is a subtle nod to the holiday without going over the top.
2. Framed clover leaves
Press and frame your own clover leaves for a unique decor element that can be kept up year round. We love how personalized this can be, from the frame, to the mat, to the layout of the shamrocks there’s so many ways to make this art reflect you and your style.
3. Green bottles
An eclectic mix of green glass bottles is a fun way to integrate St. Patrick’s Day decor into your home without going all out, though they make perfect accents even if you DO want to go for it this year. Banners, garlands, noisemakers, and tinsel all make great accompaniments!
4. Cute apothecary jars
Add some green elements to apothecary jars for a charming vignette that can suit just about any style! We love the variety of greens used here and that none of them are typical St. Patrick’s Day decor choices, making it feel unique and elegant.
5. St. Paddy’s inspired art
Make a piece of art to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day for a one of a kind piece that perfectly reflects your style. We love the clean simplicity of this piece shown here, but you can go for anything you like! Green, shamrocks, and gold are all great motifs (elements?) to include to lend that festive feel to your artwork.
6. Shamrock and wreath
The simple addition of a woodcut shamrock to a store-bought wreath takes this from an everyday item to a cute St. Patrick’s Day decor piece. The transition is so easy and the versatility of the wreath makes it a perfect buy for year round use!
7. Vintage book collection
A collection of old green books of all different shades is a unique way to decorate for St. Patrick’s Day, integrating perfectly with multiple decor styles. When looking for options, we recommend checking Etsy or your local secondhand bookstore.
8. Simple centerpieces
Glass votives, split peas, and candles are the three things you’ll need to make this easy DIY St. Patrick’s Day centerpiece. We love how eclectic the votives are, check your local thrift stores to see what glassware they have in stock.
9. Pot of clover
Clover is a hallmark of St. Patrick’s Day decor, representing Ireland and its heritage all over the world. Potted clover is a cute, straightforward way to celebrate the holiday without buying a ton of store-bought decor.
10. Shades of green
Layers of green in all forms is a perfect way to decorate for St. Patty’s Day without going too gimmicky. Whether it’s painted mason jars or glass vases, find some vessels you like and add a variety of green florals to add hints of holiday throughout your home.
11. Bead accents
Notes of green throughout this vignette set the scene, playing off the St. Patrick’s Day beads and golden horseshoe. The overall effect is celebratory and fun, still incorporating the designer’s style while tastefully folding in store-bought elements.
12. Green glass
This option uses rich green vases of all shapes and sizes sit on mats of faux green foliage, holding bouquets of graceful white tulips. The combination of green and white clearly reads as “St. Patrick’s Day” without being cheesy or garish. If tulips aren’t your favorite try lilies, white roses, peonies, or hydrangeas.
