Consider tiling your kitchen island with ocean-like shades of blue, teal, and white.
Plus, what’s more romantic than a canopy bed?
String lights, a hammock, benches, stacks of firewood, and a fire pit are all must-haves.

(Or, at least have your dining room tablelookprepared.)

Keep it simple with a streamlined layout, limited decor, and no shades to block out sun.

Summer decor can also lean into natural materials in neutral tones, highlighting a sense of serenity.
Here’s betting it’ll give you a dose of delight every time you brush your teeth.
Each time you pull one of the too-cute pull chains you’ll delight in your summer decor.

They soften the light in a summer-like way.
Sounds ideal, right?

That can be your reality.

Use each season as an opportunity torefresh your objectson display.
Maybe that’s on shelves or maybe that’s an enviable windowsill.
Design byBurnham Design/ Photo byYe Rin Mok
Break out your colorful glassware and put them on full display for summer soirees.
Stephanie Watkins ofCasa Watkins Livingdid just that.
Don’t use just any (chipped, stained, or boring) bowl though.
Finding Silver Pennies
Just followLiz Marie’s simple instructions.
Perhaps some of those, such as gardening, boast beautiful and practical items to decorate an entryway.
This year, welcome guests to your home with a basket full of flowers hung on your front door.

That’s what Kay Volmar ofOnce Upon a 1912did, and it would be super simple to recreate yourself.
Hang Bold Wallpaper
Hanging wallpaper is one of the quickest ways to completely transform a room.
If you’re commitment-phobic, choose apeel-and-stick wallpaper, which is simple to hang (we promise!)
Design byStudio Ten 25/ Photo byShayna Fontana
and can swapped out easily.
Bring the Outdoors In
Here’s hoping you’ll clock in plenty of outdoor time this summer.
Whenever you’re stuck indoors though, get a feel for Mother Nature with a planted tree.

A bedroom full of sepia tones is beautiful and breezyperfect for summer.
This summer, transform your bathroom’s pedestal sink into a softer version of itself with a sink skirt.
Go Big With Greenery
Take advantage of the season with large doses of greenery.

Try adding vases to your entryway, laundry room, and any niche that’s vase-friendly.
This summer, show them off.
It’s always crisp and clean.
Heide Hendricks Interior Design
Soft neutrals also help emphasize any architectural details and provide a neutral backdrop for all of your seasonal decor.
A side chair upholstered in a cream-color boucle checks all of those boxes.
Instead, browse your own home for decor items that can be easily rearranged.

Then, come autumn, give it another whole new look.
Take this bathroom designed byAlvin Wayne Interiorsas inspiration.
Casually lean framed artwork in unexpected places, like a bathroom countertop or closet shelf.

Good decor stimulates all of the senses.
So this summer, commit to a seasonally scented candle.
Maybe that’s a flowery aroma or perhaps you prefer a candle that evokes the ocean breeze.

Studio McGee
Antique sales and flea markets and yard sales, oh my!
Summer is peak season for shopping all kinds of second-hand stores.
Pastoral paintings are always a welcome addition, and so are sweet sconces.

It’s easy to understand why blue evokes a summery feel.
It’s the color of the sky and the ocean.
