Refresh your Outdoor Pillows

Outdoor pillows are easy items to update almost every season if need be. If your patio is covered you have a better chance of stretching the life of your pillows. If your patio is uncovered however, there is a good chance you'll need to update your outdoor pillows almost every year. Places like Target or Ikea are great options if you are not wanting to invest a lot in items that may only stick around for the season.

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.

Transitioning from Summer to Fall Decor

Faux Florals

Decorating indoors with faux florals is a fun way to bring the outside in, especially if you're not one to keep live plants living for very long. If the faux florals you currently have in your home are a bit more summery feeling, you can simply add to them to transition to fall. If you have an arrangement that uses a lot of fun bold colors, you can swap some out for more fall friendly stems. Succulents are hugely popular right now, so adding a few of those is another fun way to add to your current florals to transition them to fall.

If you already have your full outdoor seating area set up from the summer time it can be easily transitioned for fall use. If you chose to use a lot of bright summer colors for your outdoor cushions, simply picking up some more neutral outdoor pillow covers is an easy and inexpensive way to make the space feel a little more cozy and fall like.
