10 Simple Classic Fresh Summer Decorating Ideas
Today I’m sharing some simple summer decor ideas that will leave you with plenty of time to enjoy the fleeting months of summer.
The thing about summer decor is that it should be simple.
Classic.
Fresh.
Classic textures like sisal, jute, baskets, wood. Fresh cut blooms and bowls of seasonal fruit. Pops of fresh colour inspired by nature: the beach, the sky, sunshine, the mountains, trees, lakes, and of course pretty flowers. All the goodness and beauty of the outdoors. Because that’s what summer is really about!
If you’ve been following along for a while then you might know that sharing our summer decor in our old home was one of my favourite posts to write. Not just that, it was almost definitely my favourite way to decorate (Christmas is a close runner-up). Even as we work on finishing up our new kitchen (which I LOVE), it’s hard to compete with the feel of our old one.
