In the warmer months, it might be a bit more challenging to decorate considering there are not many holidays with specific themes to help us. However, with summer comes an array of new elements that we can use to decorate our houses and gardens with. To extend our store-bought decor items there are several ideas and options (including DIYs from the never-ending pages of Pinterest) to choose from. From fresh flowers to dried ones, pebbles and larger rocks, seashells, and even fruits like limes and lemons, we can find a spot for everything in our homes. In light of this, I have collected a few of my own decor pieces as well as some inspiring Pinterest projects down below, which I would like to try this season.
1. Harvest your own decor from your garden
Lavender and rosemary have been part of our garden plant collection for over 15 years, which allowed us to learn how to propagate and care for them in the correct way. Each year, around the warmer months of May and June we harvest these and create several things from them including moth repellants for our wardrobes, alternative potpourri, wreaths for Midsummer and as simple decor, and even bouquets to give to friends and family on special occasions.
2. Collect interesting pieces from walks around town and meadows
I have been on many walks where I found some natural elements out in nature that I could easily picture in my own home too. Pampas grass and its many varieties make for a great natural and large statement piece in a vase in any setting and room. Because of its natural color, it can be combined with any color easily both inside and outside. Additionally, any flower or plant growing outside can be easily put together in a larger vase and later on dried and used as new decor that matches pampas grass.
3. My wishlist for this year's summer decor
Finally, here I have collected some ideas I have found on Pinterest that I would like to give a try this summer. Among these, you can find some more specific summery decor ideas using citruses and seashells, rocks, driftwood, and even sand that have been incorporated into both indoor and outdoor decorations. What I love about these is that none of them need much work and are mostly foolproof.
