New York–based artist Claudia Pearson is celebrating spring with this bright tea towel, illustrating a few of the season’s best fruits and veggies. Catch a little spring fever and hang it in your kitchen. $14 at etsy.com/shop/claudiagpearson.

If part of your spring-cleaning routine involves replacing your dingy welcome mat, we suggest upgrading with this mirror-image rabbit rug. The turquoise bunnies are just waiting to stand guard outside your door. $98 at anthropologie.com.

Every city—as well as your apartment—can use a little extra green space, and this small postcarden is the perfect way to get it. The mailable postcard pops up into an architectural garden: Just wet the board, sprinkle the seeds and watch the green stuff grow. $13 at brooklyn5and10.com.

While the exotic flowers at Asrai Garden offer fleeting pleasure, these whimsical mobiles, handmade by owner Elizabeth Cronin and store employee Kristen Romaniszak, will hang around as long as you’d like. Select a premade version, or mix and match materials—brass and lace-wrapped hoops, guinea and pheasant feathers, Tamar Mogendorff’s fabric birds and painted wooden balls—for a custom order. $55–$200 at Asrai Garden (1935 W North Ave, 773-782-0680, asraigarden.com).
