🌿 Bringing the Outdoors In: Spring & Summer Décor Tips
Lighten up, freshen up, and let your home bloom this season.
As the days get longer and warmer, there’s nothing like the fresh energy of spring and summer to inspire a refresh. Whether you’re craving a total seasonal makeover or a few subtle updates, incorporating nature into your home is a timeless way to breathe new life into your space.
Here are my favorite tips to bring the outdoors in — naturally and beautifully.
🪴 1. Bring in Fresh Greenery
Nothing says "spring" like fresh plants. From potted herbs in the kitchen to large leafy greens in the living room, greenery instantly lifts a space.
Try this:
Snake plants, pothos, and rubber trees for easy care
A tabletop herb garden (hello, basil and mint!)
Mix fresh flowers with foraged stems or dried grasses
☀️ 2. Let the Light In
Now’s the time to switch out heavy drapery for light, airy fabrics. Natural light boosts mood, enhances color, and makes everything feel more open.
Simple swaps:
Sheer linen or cotton curtains
Clean your windows to maximize light
Use mirrors to reflect light and create brightness
🌸 3. Use Nature-Inspired Textures
From rattan and wicker to stone, terracotta, and unfinished wood — these organic textures bring warmth and depth to your rooms.
Ideas to incorporate:
Woven baskets and natural fiber rugs
Wood coffee tables or sideboards
Clay pottery, ceramic vases, and handmade pieces
🎨 4. Refresh with Seasonal Colors
Think fresh and breezy: soft greens, warm whites, blush tones, ocean blues, or pops of citrus. These colors mimic what’s blooming outside.
Easy updates:
Swap pillow covers and throws
Add seasonal art or lightweight bedding
Use nature-inspired wallpaper for a bold statement
🧺 5. Create Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Make your outdoor space feel like an extension of your home, and vice versa.
Design tip:
Bring outdoor furniture inside for a casual vibe
Use similar color palettes and textures across indoor/outdoor zones
Style patios or balconies with the same care you give your living room
🍋 6. Add Seasonal Scents
Don’t forget the power of scent! Bring the outdoors in with diffusers or candles in botanical, citrus, or herbal fragrances.
Fresh picks:
Lemon, eucalyptus, lavender, and sage
Soy candles or essential oil diffusers in glass jars
Open your windows for a real breath of fresh air
