Now that winter is a distant memory, you are probably spending more time outside, than inside, in your beautiful garden, soaking up the sun. Even though you’re spending more time outdoors, you may also wish to give your inside home a little transformation. You probably want to throw out the winter home decor by bringing in the summer home decor. Don’t know where to start? That’s where I come in to help.
However, you may think that in order to give your home a summer home decor makeover, you have to spend a lot of money. I’m here to tell you that it is very possible to transform your home into a summer paradise, on a budget – if you know where to look. So, if you’re looking for affordable summer home decor, here are my 10 best tips:
1. Change Your Bathroom Decor To Summer Colors
When you think of summer, you think of flowers and certain colors. As well as when you think of winter, certain colors comes to your mind. Therefore, changing the colors of your home decor is a great way to start. For instance, changing the colors of your bathroom towels and you bathroom mat will truly give your bathroom a new look and is the perfect summer home decor addition to your space.
When choosing colors for the summer, think about what colors are outside and bring them indoors, such as rich pastels, navy, cranberry and perhaps a beautiful soft yellow tone. All of these colors will breathe new life into your bathroom.
Also, by matching the colors of the mat with the bathroom towels, you will bring together the look of your bathroom and truly give it a fresh feel. These small changes to your bathroom will truly welcome the new summertime into your home.
2. Change Your Bedding
Changing your bedding can make a huge difference in your bedroom. The bedding is what sets the tone for the whole bedroom since it’s often the centerpiece of the room. If you prefer a more minimalist look, opt for one-colored bedding in a summer color, such as light yellow or green. You can find beautiful one-colored bed sets for under $40 here.
However, if you want the ‘summer cottage’ look, you should opt for bedding with small patterns on it. For instance, it could be bedding with a floral print or maybe a peach print. This will give your room more of a cute look rather than the minimalist look. You can find a very adorable light yellow bed set for under $60, featuring small strawberries, here. It’s the perfect bed set for achieving the cute summer cottage look.
3. Bring in Fresh Flowers
Bringing fresh flowers into your home is the perfect way to bring summer indoors. It’s also a very simple yet effective way to incorporate summer home decor. However, you may want a new beautiful vase to display the fresh flowers in. If you are willing to invest in a new vase, I have the perfect one for you. Here you can find a beautiful clear glass vase in a three-layer spherical design for only $11.99.
4. Change Your Pillows
A perfect way to bring summer home decor into your living room is by changing the pillows on your couch. If you have a neutral-colored couch, opt for pillows with some color or perhaps a summery pattern. For instance, pillows with a floral print to it, like this one. If you prefer a one-colored pillow, this linen pillow under $15 comes in multiple different colors, such as this beautiful teal color.
By changing the pillows on your couch, you can alter the overall feel of the room, much like with the bedding. Since the couch, as well as the bed, is often the centerpiece of the room.
5. Wooden Fruit Bowl
By bringing natural elements indoors, you instantly create a summer ambiance. Therefore, having a wooden bowl with fruit in it is a great addition to your summer home decor. I love to fill the bowl with lots of lemons or citrus fruits, as their bright yellow color beautifully brightens up the space.
6. Change Your Kitchen Towels
Another easy way to give your home a summer feel is by switching your kitchen towels to a summer color. For instance, you can further enhance the citrus theme by adding this set of beautiful yellow towels to your kitchen. Kitchen towels are a small detail that’s easy to change and can truly make a big difference in the feel of the room.
7. Set Out Herbs In The Kitchen
Plant small pots of herbs in your kitchen to bring nature indoors. This will not only provide you with fresh herbs to cook with but also add a green touch to your kitchen, a great way to bring summer indoors. One option is to use pots you already have at home or repurpose an old can and plant herbs inside it. Here, you can find a kit of 10 different herbs ($11.99) that are perfect for planting in your kitchen. However, if you’re interested in investing in an indoor herb garden planter set, this is a perfect and affordable option for you.
8. Roof Plant Hanger
Bringing plants indoors is not only good for your health but also for giving your home a summery feel. Instead of just putting plants in windows, on the floor, or on the tables, you can hang them in a roof plant hanger. This will impart an earthy and summery vibe to your space. This plant hanger comes in four different colors, making it suitable for every style and home.
9. Bring In Summer Scents
Give yourself and your guests a beautiful welcome with a floral wreath on your front door. This will instantly give you the feeling of warm summer. You can either buy a wreath with fake flowers that will last the whole summer or you can easily make your own. You can find a beautiful wreath with yellow fake flowers here.
If you want to make your own, you can turn it into a cozy summer activity with your family by going to a field of flowers, picking your own, and then creating your own floral wreath.
10. Floral Plates and Platters
Give new life to your table setting by getting new floral plates and maybe a platter. This will make your dinner setting beautiful and summery. For instance, this beautiful blue serving plate is perfect for your summer cookies or a fresh salad. Additionally, these china rose floral plates are perfect for dessert. A simple yet impactful summer home decor addition to your home.
Conclusion
In conclusion, changing up some colors and adding flowers in different forms will instantly give your home a summer feel. None of these summer home decor ideas are expensive, and some of them you can even make yourself. These are easy yet impactful steps for creating your summer paradise. Now, let’s welcome the summer!
