How to Make Your Phone Look Like an Aesthetic Spring Pinterest Board



It’s a well-known fact that your phone is something you use quite often in this digital world, whether it’s for messages, photos, or simply checking the time. In fact, the average person picks up their phone around 110 times a day, which led us to think:

Why not make every glance a little more inspiring?

Despite common assumption, designing and decorating a phone layout is more than just making it look visually appealing: It’s a way to reflect your creative energy and set the tone for the day. And if your OS supports icon & widget customization, you’ll have plenty of freedom to experiment until it feels right!

Picking A Fresh Lock Screen

This is the first thing you see when you pick up your phone, so make it something that really sparks positive emotions within.

For Spring 2025, collage-style wallpapers are trending: layered visuals, dreamy colors, and cute stickers that make your phone feel like a personalized moodboard. You’ll find some of our most-loved Pinterest pins below (pick your favourite!):

If you want to create your own, Pinterest now lets you build collages right inside the app. Just search for pins you like (e.g. Cherry Blossoms), tap the three dots on a pin, and select “Add to collage.” Once you’re happy with your design, screenshot it and set it as your wallpaper.

Add a Bloom to Your Apps: Spring Icon Aesthetic Ideas

Custom icons can really add to the harmony of your phone layout. In the early days when iOS 14 was introduced, many users had to use the Apple Shortcuts app and deal with an unwanted redirection to it every time they clicked on a custom app icon. Fortunately, that hassle has been minimized (now, you only receive a brief notification when launching custom icon apps!)

Experiment With Aesthetic Spring-Themed Photo Widgets

Widgets not only provide information at a glance, but they’re also amazing for decorating and personalizing your layout! Popular apps like Widgetsmith and Widgetable offer a wide range of options that can help you create a cohesive look through custom photos, clocks, calendars, and reminders. Experiment with different widget sizes and placements until your home screen feels balanced and intentional. And of course, there’s always lots of inspiration for spring-themed widgets online, so look for one that inspires you!

Here are our 2 most popular spring-themed photo widgets, which also match our lock screens from before:

Turn Your Phone Into A Personal Spring Sanctuary

A personalized phone layout is like a mini environment for your digital life. When every detail is thoughtfully curated, it can truly lift your mood or even boost your productivity throughout the day. Taking the time to adjust your wallpaper, icons, and widgets can lead to an aesthetic design that reflects the energy you really want to cultivate.

If you love cherry blossoms, for example, let them be your layout’s theme. Or if vibrant flowers make you feel inspired, let them shine through your wallpapers and icons. Whatever makes you feel good in this spring season of new beginnings, bring it into your phone design!
