Earthy Tones with a Twist
Nothing is better than decorating with the colors of nature. I love using them in the summer. You can do lots of different things, go complete earth tones in a neutral fashion, or add pops of color as the summer flowers add to our gardens.
These first two examples are perfect for a neutral vibe. They also add lots of neutral textures which gives the room lots of coziness.
Nothing like adding colors of the ocean! Below we have neutral beiges with pops of blues and greens.
Pastel Blues and Sunny Yellows
I love adding pastel blues to my home, especially in the summer. The photo below is gorgeous with it’s pastels and beiges with white. Also the bowl on the table is a little darker blue but gives the feel of the depths of the ocean.
Oh how I lemon you! Haha, lemons are a very popular thing to use in home decor in the summer. pair it with seafoam green, and you have a wonderful summer vibe!
Here, the lemons and yellow flowers pair well with navy blue! Notice the rest of the room is all in white or some other neutral colors.
Statement Accents in Neon and Coral
Neon colors, bright blue, coral accents paired with greenery…yes please! This gorgeous summer wedding centerpiece works perfectly because it’s balanced with lots of white.
Here, our statement colors are used in a more subtle way. I love the blue piping on the white furniture and the geometric patterns in the pillows in blue and orange.
Lightweight Fabrics and Breezy Textures for Summer
Linen and Cotton Decor Staples
Linen is a popular fabric for summer, especially in fashion. Using linen and cotton in pillows and drapes will give the perfect texture for summer.
Gauzy Curtains for Natural Light
I don’t get a lot of light in my home so I use these gauzy window treatments so we get the privacy at night but still the sunlight in the day.
Rattan, Jute, and Wicker Accessories
These natural materials scream summer! They are the perfect nautical addition to your summer decor.
Indoor-Outdoor Living Spaces
In the summer indoor-outdoor living is essential. Here we have examples of what you can do to add gorgeous decor to your summer outdoor spaces.
Summer Patio Makeover Ideas
It doesn’t matter how small or large your patio is you can make it perfect for your summer living. Adding lots of plants, potten flowers, white accents as well as galvanized metal are great and will withstand the elements.
Outdoor Rugs and Weather-Resistant Textiles
Sunbrella fabrics are great for the outdoors because they are weather-resistant. Using an indoor-outdoor rug is also fabulous because it makes your seating area feel like an indoor room, but it withstands the elements outside.

Botanical Prints and Tropical Motifs
When I see botanical and tropical items, it screams Hawaii or somewhere in the Caribbean to me. Someplace where it feels like summer all year round.
Using these types of decor items in your home is perfect for summer decorating!
Incorporating Houseplants and Fresh Florals
Bringing fresh flowers into your home is essential in the summer. You can use plants, but I love having fresh cut flowers, bonus if they are from my own garden!
Natural Wood and Stone Accents
Using natural wood and stones from the beach is perfect for summer decor! I love using sunbleached woods and different shades of blues and greens.
Seasonal Tablescapes and Entertaining Touches
We do a ton of entertaining in the summer and centerpieces are very important. I am sharing some of my favorite tablescapes and dining tips for a very memorable party!
Summer Tablescapes
I have a post all about 10 different types of summer tablescapes but here are two of my favs.
Al Fresco Dining Decor Tips
Al Fresco Dining basically means “eating outside”. It’s derived from an Italian phrase that means “in the fresh air”. It’s a wonderful way to spend a quiet evening, have family or friends over, or a romantic dinner.
Two things to consider before hosting an Al Fresco dining are to make sure you plan ahead and check the weather. Nothing can ruin a dinner outside than a thunderstorm! And planning will really help you reduce the stress associated with hosting.
First thing you do is choose your dining space, then plan your menu. Make sure you plan your menu according to your location. For example, a picnic is probably not the best place for a spaghetti dish.
Next, set your table and add a gorgeous centerpiece. I love using linen napkins in the summer, it’s such a popular fabric for this time of year.
Add some mood lighting such as string lights, candles, or small lamps. Then use a creative space as a bar cart so it’s easy for you and your guests to access whatever they are drinking.
And lastly, add music! I love using a wireless speaker connected to your phone so you can easily adjust the playlist.
Bright Table Linens and Dinnerware
If you think doing a neutral thing is boring, then go bold! Here are two examples of bright table linens and dinnerware…tablescapes, that will make you really happy!
Final Touches for a Summer Vibe
There are a few other things I love to incorporate for a great summer vibe.
First, I love to add scented candles and diffusers to bring certain scents into a room that evoke a feeling. For example, I love a beach scented candle to make me feel like I am at the beach!
Another great addition to your home for summer is summer-inspired wall art. These are great inside but also perfect for the outdoor spaces!
And lastly, music and lighting are essential for creating the perfect mood!
