Outdoor home decorating ideas just in time for summer

Welcome the summer season with these fun outdoor decor ideas

Summer is almost here! Whether you like your outdoor decor to be festive, practical or you need to declutter, we’ve got some fun tips and tricks to help your home feel summer ready.

Festive decor for the summer

Independence Day (July 4th) is one of the biggest summer holidays, so red, white and blue are the prominent festive colors for the summer! Hang an American flag on your front porch or add a red, white and blue wreath to your door for a festive touch.

Another fun idea: line your walkway with small American flags or plant red, white and blue flowers throughout your garden.

Practical decor for the summer

If you’re looking for a more practical and polished aesthetic for your home, we have a few ideas that will still make it feel like summer without going overboard.

Adding flowers or plants to your porch or garden brings in a pop of color that will instantly say summer. Cool blues, fiery oranges and bright yellows are the go-to colors of the season. 

If you don’t have a green thumb, incorporate those colors throughout your decor! Getting some new outdoor pillow and cushion covers or putting your citronella candles in decorative lanterns are great ways to have practical decorations that still give a subtle nod to summer.

Two practical outdoor necessities for the summer in Florida are railings and screens. Having a screened in area in your yard will protect you and your family from pests, bugs and the sun while still enabling you to enjoy being outdoors! Railings can be either decorative or practical – read our blog for more information on how railings can increase the value of your home.

Declutter for the summer

Have too much clutter going on and no room for decorations? If you still want to decorate for the summer, instead of buying more decorations, repurpose what you already have.

Re-painting a doormat, decorating mason jars or creating a flip flop wreath are all great ways to repurpose and redecorate!

Another way to declutter is to buy some decorative storage bins. Go through your front and back porch and put all of the out of season decor, household items and other miscellaneous things into the bins. The best part? The bins can be left out in the open to stay accessible while also adding a decorative element!
