1. Don’t play it safe this summer — amp things up with lively color and bold patterns.
Inspired by fresh weekend projects and simple accents.

2. Create a beachy summer vibe by adding white accents, even if your walls or floors are darker.
White brightens and freshens any space for an airy, coastal feel.

3. Bring vacation memories home — hunt for a beautiful souvenir map to frame and display.
A framed map makes a personal, decorative statement and sparks conversation.

4. Combine natural elements for fresh, summer-ready accessories.
Incorporate materials like rattan, seagrass, driftwood and woven textures for an easy, organic look.

5. Add summery rugs or runners for a casual beach-cottage feel underfoot.
Lightweight, textured rugs instantly soften a room and bring seasonal charm.
