Summer is here, and it’s time to let your home reflect the energy of the season—sunny, spirited, and oh-so-stylish. Whether you’re hosting backyard barbecues, sipping lemonade on the porch, or simply craving a refresh, we’ve gathered the best ideas to help you spruce up your space from front porch to garden and everywhere in between. Let’s dive into summer style!
☀️ Indoor Summer Décor That Brings the Sunshine In
Give your interiors a warm-weather makeover with these summer styling tips:
-
Swap out heavy fabrics like velvet or faux fur for lightweight linens and cottons in bright whites, soft pastels, or beachy blues.
-
Style open shelves with sea glass vases, faux citrus stems, and anything rattan or woven for that coastal cottage charm.
-
Add pops of color through throw pillows, table runners, and art prints. Think coral, turquoise, and sunny yellow!
-
Incorporate natural elements like driftwood accents, jute rugs, or faux greenery to blur the lines between indoors and outdoors.
Steal Tip: A vintage-style wall sign that says “Soak Up the Sun” or “Life is Better Barefoot” instantly sets the seasonal mood in an entryway or kitchen!
🌸 Front Porch Décor That Welcomes Summer with Open Arms
The porch is your home’s first impression—and summer is the season to show it off! Here’s how to refresh it:
-
Layer doormats with a fun summery message over a classic jute rug.

Swap your wreath for one with faux citrus, wildflowers, or patriotic flair.
-
Add a porch sign with seasonal sayings like “Sweet Tea & Sunshine” or “Welcome Y’all.”

Style seating with throw pillows in bold stripes or gingham for that summer picnic vibe.
Steal Tip: Add a few galvanized metal buckets filled with faux florals or mini American flags for instant farmhouse flair.

Use decorative garden stakes or oversized metal flowers to add dimension and color.

Drape bunting or banners across your porch railings or outdoor dining area.

Mix American flags with rustic textures—think burlap, galvanized metal, and distressed wood.
