When warm, sunny weather arrives, it is a nice change of pace to make some easy décor changes that will have you feeling sunny when you’re inside as well. Here are some décor ideas for summer that will have your home feeling brighter and sunnier inside and out!
For a quick, summery makeover, swap in some bright pops of color in your kitchen. Summery artwork, dishes and fresh flowers go a long way to bringing the sun indoors.
This beach retreat doesn’t see much use for a fireplace in summer, so the owners swap in a hunk of coral instead. It’s the perfect way to brighten the indoors and the fireplace is the perfect frame! You could also set a collection of pillar candles inside your fireplace if coral isn’t your thing.
Sometimes the perfect thing to do is create a living space outdoors to enjoy on warm, sunny days. This space works as a breakfast spot, reading nook and dining table for summer meals.
One easy way to decorate for summer is just to stow away all the heavy pillows and cozy throws until colder weather returns. Instead, put out pillows in bright colors and matching throws made of light fabrics.
Succulents in seashells definitely provide a summery look for warm weather. Consider adding other natural elements like this to your summer décor.
If your fireplace is usually the focal point of your room, consider moving your furniture for the summer months to make a bright, sunny window the temporary focal point. I wish I had thought of this sooner!
Don’t forget that simple switches make an impact. For example, seasonal scented candles for cold weather should be switched out to lighter, more floral scents perfect for warmer weather. Cucumber melon, lilac, and lemon are great summer scents to use in your decorating.
