Summer home accessory trends

When decorating a summer home, it’s all about choosing the right accessories. They should be light, breezy, and laid-back. Summer home accessories should represent the mood of summer—relaxed and fun.

Incorporate plenty of white into your design. White looks clean and fresh and brightens any room. Try sheer white curtains. They’re breezy and will block the glare of the hot summer sun while letting in enough natural light. Use white accessories such as wicker baskets or linen accent pillows.

When you aren’t using white, choose a fresh color scheme featuring colors like light blue or yellow. These colors are fun, light, and calming. Pink is the color of the year; to follow the trend, add splashes of pink to your summer home with pillows or an area rug.

Use light fabrics and textures. Heavy and dark fabrics will make the room feel too serious and closed off instead of light and breezy.

Bring the outdoors into your home. Decorate with bright summer blooms and other natural elements such as light wood accessories. Create color in neutral rooms with the brightest summer flowers. If your summer home is on the beach, then bring the beach inside also. A clear bowl or vase full of seashells, a painting of the sun setting over the watery horizon, and sea-inspired color palettes all capture beach design.
