Leaf Motifs

Leaf motifs have completely taken off in things like wallpaper and pillows this year. This tropical / jungle vibe lends itself to many beautifully styled spaces. Using this motif in your home really brings a touch of the outside in and creates a fun yet earthy vibe. Want to take this trend to the next level? Add in some real or faux plants as well!

Acrylic items like accessories, chairs, and side tables have been popular in recent years and it shows no sign of loosing speed. The beautiful thing about acrylic is it gives the appearance of glass without the fragility. It is an especially great choice to use in small spaces because it has virtually no visual weight which helps keep your room feeling larger!

Although the transition from Spring to Summer decor doesn't need to be a drastic one, there are some simple things to swap to give your home that summer vibe. One quick switch to make is your door hanging, whether that be a sign or wreath of some kind. Your Spring door hanging may have had some pastels or other soft tones throughout it, so swapping to a bright fun door hanging will bring that punch of summer color to your door!

Door Mats

Another quick transition to make from Spring to Summer decor are your door mats. Some of you may keep the same door mat up all year round because it can be a very easy spot to overlook. However, this is a very inexpensive item to change out from season to season to give your home a quick freshening up! This will also give more life to your doormats since the same ones aren't being used for such extended periods of time.

Hot Colors for Summer Decor

Blush

Blush continues to be one of the hottest colors in both fashion as well as home decor! It has even been coined the new neutral in women’s fashion. This color is great to use in small accents here and there. Overusing this color can result in an overly feminine space (which may be exactly what you are going for) but if you are wanting to stay a little more neutral, pops of this pretty hue can go a long way!

Warm White

Warm white is another color that is going strong in the home decor world. White will always be a classic neutral that makes for a great base in any space. Warm white simply means a white with a warmer undertone like yellow as opposed to a cool white with a blue undertone for example. Going with this warmer shade keeps the space from feeling too stark or cold.

Denim Blue

Blues can range from the lightest powder blue all the way to the darkest navy. Denim blue is one we are seeing a lot of recently and will continue to be a hot color going into Summer. Its cool and soft shades can add a sense of peace and calm to any space. Another great thing about this color is it pairs beautifully with a huge range of colors which makes it easy to work into any space!
