“Summer, Summer, Summertime!” Remember that song? If you’re an 80s baby raised in the 90s, you definitely know this classic tune!
Anyways, back to the subject—hehe. Summer is the perfect time to refresh your home with some vibrant, budget-friendly decor. Whether you’re looking to add a splash of color or create a backyard oasis, here are some affordable tips and tricks to transform your space without breaking the bank.
Embrace Bright Colors
Y’all know I love wearing ALL BLACK every day, but summer is all about bright, lively colors! Adding hues like blue, pink, yellow, and orange to your decor will spark feelings of joy and liveliness.
Swap Throw Pillows
Swap out your current throw pillows for ones in summery shades and patterns. I’ve started avoiding store-bought pillows; instead, I buy pillow inserts from Amazon and switch up the covers anytime I want! This eliminates the need to buy new pillows every season.
Backyard Outdoor Spaces
Whether you have a large backyard or a small patio, this is where you can create a space to unwind—perfect for summer gatherings. Hang string lights on your patio or balcony to create a cozy vibe. Incorporate outdoor cushions, floral patterns, colorful throw pillows, and linen curtains to add a refreshing touch to the space.
Fresh Flowers & Real Plants
Using fresh flowers and real plants in your summer decor is the perfect way to brighten up your space while appreciating the beauty of nature.
Add a Pop of Orange
I don’t know what it is about this summer, but the color orange has been on my palette. Incorporating orange accents in your home decor adds warmth and creates a space filled with fun and happiness.
Add a Citrus-Inspired Centerpiece to Kitchen Island
Using a citrus-inspired centerpiece, such as a bowl of oranges, lemons, or limes, infuses the space with freshness and adds summer flair.
Refreshing your home for summer doesn’t have to be expensive. With a few strategic changes and some creativity, you can create a vibrant, inviting space that captures the essence of the season. Look for sales or check out discount stores like Home Goods, Ross, and Burlington for your summer decor.
