Shuffling around the living room to make space for some new summer home decor is one of my favorite ways to mark the start of the season. Sometimes, the changes are small—a new scented candle here and a fresh bunch of greenery there. Other times, they’re more noticeable, like a new throw pillow for the couch or a piece of artwork for the bathroom.
Come summertime, it’s all about lightening things up with linens, florals, woven textures, and cheerful accessories. The goal for my summer home decor is to match the mood I’m in when the sun is shining and I’ve got a margarita in one hand. Of course, the big investment pieces like couches, rugs, and window treatments often remain untouched. But there are plenty of little ways to bring in nods to the warmer weather and make a home feel brand-new with decor. Below, we’ve rounded up the best of the best summer home decor to make the most of the season.

If a room in your house feels gloomy or unfinished, just add a plant! I used to think faux plants were a no, but after my third dead fern, I decided to embrace them, and I’ve never looked back. Pro tip: Make sure to style and zhush the branches to make them look as authentic as possible.
