Need some ideas for summer decorating? You’ve come to the right place! In this Courtland Towers Blog post, we are sharing a few ideas to help you decorate your apartment to reflect the summer season. Read on to get some ideas that you can adjust to suit your own personal style.
Floral Decor
Summer is the perfect time to break out any floral themed home decor you have. Floral patterned decorative pillows, curtains, rugs, or decorative blankets.
Beach Themed Decor
Beach balls, starfish, photos of the beach, anchors, and other beach themed accent pieces are perfect for bringing the vibes of summer into your apartment. Colors like aqua blue, white, and coral will also help give a beach feel to your home.
Add Flowers & Plants
Flower arrangements are an easy way to add a summer accent to your decor. Put together a traditional arrangement of spring or summer flowers. Martha Stewart has some lovely ideas for unique combinations of flowers and containers to help you get your imagination going, or simply follow the directions to create the arrangements that are shown. Another fun twist on unusual containers for spring or summer flower arrangements comes from Better Homes and Gardens: repurpose an outdoor birdbath to create “living artwork” featuring a “display of moss, spring-flowering bulbs, and pussy willow branches.”
Experiment with color
Things come to life in the summertime. Embrace bright colors! Add a couple of colorful throw pillows or to your bed, wallpaper your bookshelf, or use washi tape to design patterns on your walls. There are plenty of ways to add a little bit of color to your space. Tapestries can add color (and interest) to your walls, and colorful accessories (like a vintage typewriter or a leather globe) can make your room pop. We especially like the idea of painting a cheap piece of furniture for a vibrant and exciting look.
