These Summer Decor Ideas Will Turn An Average Home To A Beautiful Home
Who doesn’t want a beautiful home? These summer decor ideas will TRANSFORM your home from an average home to a beautiful home!
If I’m going to be honest, I still live at home with my parents (recent college grad problems).
And when I was in college, I LOVED decorating my dorm and apartment with seasonal decor ideas.
Now that I live with my parents, I still help decorate the house with seasonal decor, and maybe a little too much!!
Summer is the BEST time to combine your inside and outside decor, as leaving the door open may result in a few bugs, but at least you won’t be freezing!
So if you are ready to throw your summer BBQ or summer pool party, but want those extra summer decor ideas to make your house even MORE beautiful, then you are at the RIGHT place!
This post is all about the BEST summer decor ideas to turn an average home into a beautiful home.Â
Summer Decor Ideas For Your Home
1. Flowers
Summer time is the time where beautiful wildflowers are blooming and nature is as it’s peak. Just go to any local farmers market and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about!
Since nature is at it’s peak, it’s only natural to incorporate the BEAUTIFUL flowers into your home!
If you’re someone like me who LOVES flowers, and like to have them in your home year round, then consider adding MORE flowers or making sure they are correct summer colors.
Summer colors range from soft neutrals to pastels such as powder blue, dusty pink, mauve, lavender and pale yellow. So make sure your flowers fit the summer aesthetic, and plant them in your home!
2. Pillows
Pillows are one of the EASIEST decor items to make your home look summery. All you need to do is place some colorful, floral pillows on your couch and your home is instantly more summery.
There are SO MANY more places you can put pillows besides just your couch. You can put pillows on your bed, outside on chairs, and in indoor chairs.
Get creative with your pillows, and allow the personality of the pillows to spice up your summer aesthetic!Â
3. Mix Indoor & Outdoor Decor
A fabulous summer decor idea is to mix up your indoor and outdoor decor. There’s A LOT of similarities with indoor and outdoor decor in the summer, so mixing them together is a fun idea!
For example, put an indoor hammock in your house for a comfy place to read! Or, put a comfy chair with cushions outside so you can read while being comfy!
The possibilities are endless, but the combination of the two styles will make your house SO CUTE!Â
4. Plants
Similar to flowers, summer is the season of plants! They peak in the summer and love the sunshine!Â
Adding plants into your home will give it the earthy, summer vibe! There’s nothing better than feeling the greenery while also inside your house!
Make your house FEEL like summer by adding all of your favorite plants that thrive in the summer. Just don’t forget to water them!Â
5. Colorful Table Settings
If you’re having people over for dinner, or just like keeping table settings out, try making the table settings extra colorful!
Adding bright and light colors to your table will give an inviting personality to your table and home, where your guests will feel cheerful.
Make sure the colors you pick go together, because sometime too many bright colors together can clash. Nevertheless, pick out designs that you LOVE as that will make you and your guests the happiest!
6. TapestriesÂ
For all of you boho lovers, this is for you! Tapestries are a GREAT way to add your personality to your home
When I was in college, tapestries were HUGE! Not only were they super popular, but you could TOTALLY tell the people’s personalities by the tapestries they had.
I always ADORED tapestries with flowers (as I like to think I’m a flower girl), but other’s had funny phrases on them and colors that matched my friends aesthetic.Â
Pick your aesthetic and add a tapestry. They are cute and fun ways to spice up your home decor!Â
7. Summer Memories
Do you have friends who you want to showcase? Make a picture wall full of summer memories with your friends!
These pictures can consist of beach days with your friends, pool days, hiking days, or any type of summery adventures with your friends, family, and more!
Also, you can add pictures that you’ve taken yourself of nature! My grandpa would take pictures of flowers and add them into his home, and they were always so cute! Which brings us to the next point!Â
8. Nature Photos
What’s more summer than nature? Think about it, the beach: nature! Hiking, nature! Palm trees, nature!!!
You can buy nature photos, or even take them yourself! Frame then, hang them up, and you’re good to go!
No matter the photo, rather it’s waves or the sun, it will make your home feel that aesthetic. If you want a summer aesthetic, then consider adding summer activities like the beach or any type of nature.Â
9. Let In The Light
Let there be light! Summer time has longer, sunnier days than other seasons, so let in the light!
Maybe this means getting new curtains, or completely getting rid of them in the first place. Adding more light to your house will make it look so much more bright and summery.
If you want a beautiful home, then you need to let the natural light show it off! Follow the season of bright, happy tones, and let in the light!Â
10. Bright Summer Colors
Speaking of bright summer colors, this is another one of the WONDERFUL summer decor ideas.
Adding brights, summer colors to your house is the fastest way to make your house feel summery.
You can add bright colors to your furniture by using blankets, getting new rugs, colorful curtains, bright tapestries and more!
If you are not someone who likes bright colors, then look into other options such as warm tones or costal tones.Â
11. Summer Scents
To expand on your senses and get the full impact, consider adding candles that smell like summer!
There are SO MANY summer season scents such as pool side, Caribbean, tropical, tranquil breeze, orange flower, lemon citrus, and so many more! I’m sure you can list so many more than those.
The point is, besides having your house LOOK beautiful, it needs to FEEL beautiful. And expanding your house to visuals and the smell scent, will transform your house from average to AMAZING.Â
12. Lots Of Fruits And Veggies
Another one of the summer decor ideas are adding LOTS of fruits and vegetables to your home.
As I said earlier, the farmer’s market FLOURISHES during the summer, meaning you can get non-toxic fruits and veggies for SUPER CHEAP!
Not only is this super healthy, but it also adds so much personality to your house, just like plants and flowers do.
Having healthy, nature-grown fruits in your house is essential for your house to feel beautiful and welcoming.Â
13. Redo Your Backyard Decorations For More Outdoor Time
If you have a backyard then this is ABSOLUTELY essential. Having a great space to hangout with friends or just yourself is such a blessing during the summer time.
Relaxing in your backyard to read a book, or throwing that awesome BBQ party, means you should make your backyard as cute as possible.
I said earlier the importance of mixing your indoor and outdoor decor for summer and I meant it!
Make your backyard comfy by including indoor decor ideas such as chairs and tables, and enjoy your comfort in the warm weather!Â
14. Summer Wreath
Did you know not changing your wreath each season is a crime? (Jk, not really) but we cannot change seasons without changing our wreaths!
Wreaths are the people’s first impression of your personal style and seasonal style, so we HAVE TO make a statement.
If you want that beautiful summer home, then you need to start at the first level of having a summer wreath.
There are so many summer wreaths from warm tones, costal tones, bright tones, and pastel tones. Pick the one that represents your home and make sure to always change your wreath!
15. Pitchers
Ice-cold lemonade is a STAPLE for the summer. For this reason, having beautiful pitchers on hand is a MUST, and you need to stock your lemonade and other summer drinks in there.
Depending on your summer aesthetic, there are SO MANY different versions of summer pitchers. My favorite has always been the glass ones, but you can really get creative with them.
If you want to embrace the colorful aesthetic, then go for the colorful pitchers, if you want the warm tones, grab the warm pitcher!
Make sure to stick to a theme so that your house is matching and elegant!Â
