Quick and Easy Ways To Create A Summer Decor

Why Not Have A Vacation Décor All Summer Long?

This week’s inspiration is from cocolapinedesign.   As we kick off the first days of summer…who hasn’t gotten the urge to change up our interior a bit?  Ever come back from a vacation rental and longed for the sloppy-chic idea of a slipcover?  Not a slipcover kind of gal?  Not to worry…let’s look at ways to update our homes for summer decor!

Ooooh…here’s what we love about this summer decor!

• we’ll never know what color the sofa is under the DIY washed soft white slip covers…looks almost like a set of white bed linens, shams and some euro pillows
• perhaps there is a warm-hued winter rug under this creamy summer choice.  in the fall it comes back on top to cozy up on cooler nights
• just the right amount of color in the striped and floral pillow covers; it’s so easy to have several sets of covers for the same size pillows each season
• a wide mouth hurricane is perfect for fresh cut branches in any season
• got a dark center table?  use a few linen napkins to lighten up the top for the summery season
• not sure if you are a slipcover kind of person?  how about a soft, sloppy throw to cuddle with after a summer night bath as your hair dries?
• and candles, yes a must every season, love the look of this taper but might need something a little more pet/family friendly…what about a light scent in a contrasting black and white jar?
• we can never go wrong adding some woven/rattan into a lighter decor, a simple tray, or basket, adds instant texture and interest
• keep the lightning bug twinkle going with some shiny silver votives and long burning tea candles
• hosting a few couples over for a summer dinner…keep the decor concept going in the dining room that seldom gets used again until fall
• what about it?  ready to lighten up for the season? we are!
