The summer season is a perfect time to freshen up your living space and brighten your home. With our summer decor ideas, you can maintain your budget and revitalize your home with various themes that include white accents, pops of color, and hints of nature. Perhaps you could incorporate warm, fun, bright, and airy decor with some key accent pieces or simply make subtle changes to your furniture.
White Accents
White accent pieces throughout your home can make a significant difference in creating a bright and fresh space. You can modernize your bedroom with a crisp white comforter set, which will make the room appear bigger and lighter. White accent pillows create a calm, breezy feel in your living spaces. Changing your dark lampshades for white fabric is an ideal way to contrast darker-toned furniture without going over budget.
You can make a significant impact throughout the rest of your home with subtle white accents in every room. Consider laying a fluffy white rug in your living room or maintain your white theme with various table accents on display in your kitchen, dining room, and hallway. Summer decor ideas, such as a white embossed vase, animal figurines, or candleholders, go a long way in revitalizing your space.
If you want to add new furniture to your home, look for wooden pieces with white trim, as they will help reflect the light in your room and make it appear brighter. Our Finnely end table and wooden coffee table with white tops are ideal for any home, as they can enhance the airy feel of your summer space and be restyled year-round.
Pops of Color
Almost all decorating ideas for summer revolve around ramping up the color. Incorporating pops of color can immediately transform your space from a warm winter den to a bright and fun summer home. White and blue wall art can give your home a beach vibe, while brightly toned throws and cushions are an easy way to add color without overpowering your space. Colorful flowerpots and candleholders on your tabletops are other quick and simple ways to incorporate coral or cooler red tones into your living room. You can easily mix these with gold or bronze items for a touch of shine in your summer decor. If you’re into DIY, you can even paint a feature wall to complement the theme.
We know that summer is about striking a balance between fun and relaxation. You can do both by adding a colorful ottoman or occasional chair to your home. Whether you prefer to enjoy the sunshine in your bedroom, out on the patio, front porch, or in your living room, these furniture pieces are sure to enhance any space. Alternatively, a colorful side table looks fun and adds personality while also giving you more storage space in your room.
Go Natural
If you associate summer with natural and organic surroundings, then capture that texture and freshness in your home by incorporating greenery; light, natural wood furniture; or room decor with earthy tones.
Consider featuring a bench in your entryway or an off-white cotton basket in your living room to bring a natural and light element into your space. Soft white hues are perfect for offsetting the natural tones in wood or wood-framed wall decor.
Placing a wooden tray on your coffee table or bathroom vanity is another quick and easy way to incorporate organic elements into your home this summer. Pairing it with white trinkets or perhaps placing a lamp on your adjacent bookshelf that features earthy tones are both stylish ways to tie the room together. A woven rug or wicker armchair makes the perfect statement piece when you want a standout organic element.
Summer decorating ideas also focus on bringing natural light into the home — a task you can easily achieve with wall mirrors. A large mirror or several smaller ones hung opposite a window will reflect light around the room, giving the illusion of more space while highlighting the organic and natural elements in your home. A large, round mirror with a detailed frame will complement the rest of your summer home decor.
Bring the Outside In
You can bring the feel of summer into your home by including floral and nature accent pieces. Floral throws or pillow covers are an ideal way to add color and texture to your space. Take it a step further by incorporating real flowers and greenery, or create a decorative wall featuring living foliage. Give your backyard a makeover with outdoor furniture that complements your interior spaces to create a cohesive design theme that flows seamlessly inside and out. Finally, dress up your front door with summer florals and a lush wreath to complement your interior decor.
