The best summer decor ideas draw inspiration from the things that make the season so special, like sitting outside on long, warm days, splashing around in the pool, and relaxing on vacation. If you’re ready for a summer refresh, then these ideas are just what you need to bring the sunshine to your home.
When we think of summer design, porch decorating ideas and deck decorating ideas are normally top of mind, but here’s the thing: Summer decor is equally impactful indoors as it is outdoors. So, it’s important to cover both! There are plenty of ways to infuse summer style into every room in your home and to help get you inspired, we’ve rounded up some beautiful summer decorating ideas in a range of budgets and styles. After you’re done making these quick and easy updates, you can move on to your curb appeal.
01
Radius Ficonstone Indoor/Outdoor Planters
West Elm
$149.00
An easy patio decorating idea is to arrange a few chic planters together and fill them with your favorite seasonal blooms. We personally love grouping planters together in the same color and style but in different sizes.
02
Aketekete Rainbow Fan 2
Minted
$44.00
One of the best and easiest ways to incorporate summer into your decor is by layering in brightly colored objects on your bookshelves, walls, or tabletops. Something like this handmade fan is perfect for adding that pop without going full-on maximalist.

Palisades Metal Rectangular Outdoor Dining Table
Pottery Barn
$2,399.00
Summers are meant to be enjoyed around the table outdoors—so a setup that’s geared toward entertaining is ideal. Surround a table like this with larger chairs that boast squishy cushions for an intimate gathering, or several slim chairs if you’re hosting a crowd. Fill your surroundings with as much greenery as possible.

Banff Oval Fire Bowl

A cozy gathering place is a must for summer get-togethers. For hangouts that last long after the sun goes down, a fire pit (and s’mores) is essential to keep guests warm and cozy.

$275.00
08
Sand & Stable Bournemouth Quilt Set

This three-piece set hints at nostalgic summers at the lake with family and friends, and remaking your bed is an easy summer decorating idea that will change the entire look and feel of your space. This would also work for a guest room if you have a lot of summertime visitors.
