Summer Decor Ideas
Summer is my absolute favorite season to decorate the house for. All the bright colors bursting outside in nature inspire me to bring the stunning blues, pinks, yellows, oranges, and greens inside as well.
There’s just something about the sunshine, the water, and the plants that make my soul happy. And I love to be surrounded by herbs, plants, and animals both inside and out.
The best summer decor ideas merge indoor and outdoor living with splashes of brilliant color eloquently mixed with cool linens that are both lightweight and classic. This season is all about discovering new life and enjoying the sunshine so your summer decor should reflect that.
To help you find true peace and happiness at home this season, I’ve curated my favorite summer decor ideas into one simple list.
And as always, all of the decor pieces I’ve selected are affordable so you can feel good about sticking to your budget while redecorating for the season.

Summer Kitchen Decor
Kitchens are often overlooked when it comes to decorating but they certainly shouldn’t be. Decorating your kitchen is just as important as decorating the rest of your house, and you can easily find pieces to fall in love with.
When choosing the perfect summer decor pieces for your kitchen, look for items that are both stylish and functional. Summer kitchen decor can breathe new life into your table, counters, and walls with pops of bright colors and fresh greenery.
Let’s face it, you’re going to spend a lot of time in the kitchen this summer making fresh-squeezed lemonade and salads loaded with veggies straight from the Farmer’s Market. And these kitchen decor pieces are too cute to pass up.
These crystal blues and sparkling yellow accents pair perfectly with the wood features in the fruit basket and coffee cup stand. And you’ll love their prices even more.

Summer Bedroom Decor
After a long day in the sunshine, lying in bed with a great book feels heavenly. And being surrounded by beautiful things helps you feel even more relaxed.

How to Decorate For Summer
You can find gorgeous summer decor pieces everywhere you look this time of year. So how do you know which summer decor pieces will look best in your home?
The easiest way to decorate for summer is to take inventory of the large furniture pieces you already have and select which summer colors would coordinate best with them. Summer decor should be light and airy so you want to stay away from dark or pastel colors and heavy linens this time of year.
When you start thinking about decorating for summer, look at photos online for inspiration, and be sure to figure out which summer decor ideas you prefer. Then search online to find items that are similar to what you like in each photo.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match decor items from different photos are long as they coordinate well with each other.
And don’t forget to look around at the pieces you already own to see how you can repurpose items with your new style.
You are sure to find lots of summer decor ideas that are incredibly expensive, so remember to set a budget beforehand and stick to it.
You deserve to be surrounded by things you love all summer, fall, winter, and spring but you will never feel relaxed and happy at home if you buy things you can’t afford.
Trust me, there are so many great summer decor ideas out there that are surprisingly affordable and that includes all 45 summer decor ideas I’ve included on this list.
When to Decorate For Summer
Now that you’re an expert on how to decorate for summer, you’re probably super excited to get started.
The best time to decorate for summer in the Northern Hemisphere is June, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s September. The official start to summer ushers in long days, brilliant sunshine, green grass, and warm weather so it’s the perfect time to bring the beauty of the outdoors into your home.
But if you love summer as much as I do, it’s okay to get an early start. Spring decor flows nicely into summer decor and you may even want to spread it out as long as you can before bringing out your fall decor.
No one would blame you. There’s just something about all that sunshine that makes us want more.

I love all of these ideas and mostly the bright yellows and blue you added! I am still sharing with others, but when I will move on my own I can’t wait to decorate my flat depending on the season! x
I’m so glad you like everything. You will have a lot of fun decorating once you move. Enjoy!
So many lovely ideas here. I love the ocean and beach theme. Living close to the sea, with is a look I could definitely go for 🙂
I agree. I live near a lake and the water is just so peaceful.
We’re so lucky to grow our own flowers in our garden so for me, that’s an easy win on the summer decor front. Bedside posies of sweet peas, hall table vases of sunflowers – but one room I always forget about is the bathroom, so thank you for the reminder!
I would love to have that many fresh flowers around the house. Sounds lovely.
I love the pops of yellow and blue throughout. It gives me so many holiday vibes. The bathroom mirror you’ve included looking stunning.
I’m so glad to hear that. I loved how those colors all coordinated so well together.
So lovely! I love the summery feeling with the blues and yellows. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. I love the blues and yellows too.
I love your range of elegant candle smells! Candles go well at any time of the year and lavender/sage brings the smell of the garden into my home. From the lamps to the soap dispenser to the cute mug rack, I love this curation of cooling decorations! 🙂
I’m so glad you like it. I love looking at home decor especially seasonally.
So many nice ideas! Even though it’s winter now where I live, I might still want to add something summery into my bedroom interior 🙂
You definitely should. It will cheer you up through all the long, dark days of winter.
I really miss living by the sea so any decor that’s ocean/fishing/sea-related is a win for me! I like the idea of welcoming summer into our homes in this way — fab ideas!
Thank you! I love anything water/coastal related too. It’s so peaceful.
