Nowruz Haftsin Spring Décor Inspo

Every year at STORIES we look forward to springtime–the longer days, the warm sunshine, and the beautiful flowers. One of our springtime joys is setting up our Nowruz Haftsin display at the store.

Nowruz, Persian New Year, is celebrated each year at the Spring Equinox. The Haftsin is a table display to celebrate the coming season and year with special symbolic elements.

Here are some of the ways we incorporated Michael Aram's nature-inspired home décor to set up our Nowruz display. Whether you're celebrating Nowruz or just looking for great springtime table décor inspiration, these inspo highlights are for you.

Michael Aram Vases

(Vases? For flowers? Groundbreaking.)

No spring arrangement is complete without flowers to usher in the season of renewal. The flower motifs on these vases adds a timeless elegance that never wilts.

Michael Aram frames for your mirror

We sourced a plain 8"x10" mirror so that we can place it in a new frame each season for an updated look.

Choose Hammertone or Reflective for a striking effect, or Golden Ginkgo for a nature-inspired motif. 

Michael Aram decorative bowls, dishes, and catch alls for all your haftsin elements.

From fruit and garlic, to coins, spices, and more! The nature-inspired whimsy of Michael Aram décor infuses your display with life. We added some Easter elements for extra colour.
