35 Best Summer Home Decor Finds That Are Actually Worth It

Rattan Drink Dispenser

A drink dispenser is a summer must, especially if you plan on entertaining! This one has a super cute rattan base to bring in that natural look and will look super cute on the kitchen counter.

Have one or two out with your favorite summer drinks, maybe some cucumber and lemon infused water and a refreshing lemonade. Your guests will absolutely love this new addition!

Throw Pillow

Throw pillows are a super easy way to change up the vibe in your home without doing too much. Just swap out one or two accent pillows for something with a little brighter color or a fun summer pattern.

Butter yellow is a super popular color for this summer and it makes for a super cute accent color in any home. It’s not too bright, just a nice pastel yellow color to bring the summer feel indoors.

Woven Floral Baskets

These baskets are adorable! You can use them to hold your extra blankets and pillows, and they tie in that beautiful lemon yellow color without overdoing it.

Plus baskets are always something that comes in handy. These ones just double as cute summer decor as well.

Wood End Table

A good side table is not just a seasonal decor piece, but something you’re going to have for a long time. This is part of the Target summer collection, which is why it’s part of the summer decor list, but it’s definitely one of those pieces you keep around for a long time.

Target is also stepping up their game, so it’s a good option for finding cute affordable furniture that won’t break the bank.

Scalloped Light Switch Plate

If you have the regular plain light switch plates that came with the home, maybe switch them out for something a little cuter.

Even something super simple like light switch plates makes a huge difference. Don’t underestimate the small details, they really do stand out!

Natural Woven Tray

Woven trays are a super easy decor piece to work with. They look great anywhere in the home and there are so many ways you can decorate them.

For a tray on the coffee table, add some decorative books, a candle, and a small faux flower arrangement or plant.

For a tray in the guest bath, add some eucalyptus stems along with some hand soap and lotion.

These are just a few ideas of what you can do with your decorative tray, but get creative and play around with the decor.

Linen Pillow

Linen pillows give off that natural summer look while keeping it more neutral and on the more minimal side. I’ve found that one or two bigger pillows, like these linen ones, paired with a cute accent pillow makes for the perfect couch decor.

As much as we all love a good throw pillow, less is more and three to four pillows (depending on the size of the couch) is the sweet spot!

Glass Pendant Light

The pendent lights that hang above your kitchen island might not be the easiest decor to swap out, but if you want a bit of a home refresh, this is a good place to start.

If you have gold accents in your kitchen, these pendent lights will tie in really well. They’re simple, but still have that sophisticated look.

Bud Vases

Bud vases are a little smaller than your traditional flower vases, but they’re super cute for those empty spaces you don’t know what to do with.

You can also split up your bouquet by putting a couple of flowers in each vase. Wildflowers always look good in these smaller vases and they tend to be a little cheaper as well.

Scalloped Mirror

If you haven’t already caught on, the scalloped look is a summer decor trend that is here to stay. It’s great because it makes a super basic piece a lot more fun and playful while still keeping that neutral look.

This mirror would look great in the entryway above a small accent table. Perfect for when you want to do a quick mirror check before heading out the door.

Woven Rattan Stand

When it comes to kitchen decor, functional pieces are always the way to go. You can use this cute rattan stand for fruit or even use it as a dessert stand for your next family dinner.

Just make sure if you’re using it for food that you put down a piece of parchment or a towel so the crumbs don’t get stuck in the small crevices of the woven rattan.

Faux Wood Lamp

Mixing natural materials with more modern ones will give you that minimal and cozy look. This lamp makes for a super good accent piece for your entryway table, side table in the living room, or even dresser in the bedroom.

It also looks like a high-end piece without the high-end price tag (woohoo!).

Ceramic Trinket Dish

A trinket dish is one of those decor pieces that’s good to have a couple of around the house. It’s good to have one on your nightstand and one in the kitchen. That way when you go to cook or go to sleep you can take off your rings and everyday jewelry that you don’t want to get in the way.

It also makes it so they have a home so you don’t lose them. They’re also just good for your smaller items like lip balm that you want to keep close by at all times.

Natural Hand Woven Rug

Your more natural pieces are great year-round decor finds that help to warm up your home, especially if you have brighter furniture pieces and wall colors. It makes for a good balance that compliments your home and makes it feel a little less stale.

Woven rugs are also a lot lower maintenance since they don’t show dirt as much as a fluffy rug. Just vacuum it once or twice a week and that’s pretty much all you have to do to keep a woven rug looking clean and brand new.

Matte Stonewear Planter

Plant pots are a great way to add to the decor in your home without overwhelming your space. If you have a plant or tree in your home (real or faux) switch out the black plastic pot it comes in with one that matches the decor in your home.

This pot is a good accent that works well in pretty much any style home. It’s neutral and clean looking, but it has a fun texture to keep your space interesting.

Coffee Table Book

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, coffee table books are one of the easiest way to spruce up the decor in your home without a lot of effort. Get one or two coffee table books that match the colors or aesthetic in your home and display them on a shelf or of course the coffee table itself.

These always add a ton of character and are fun to flip through (they always have some of the most amazing photos) and can be super helpful.

Marble Decorative Doorstop

Who knew a doorstop could be so stylish? This one comes with a gold and black knob, so you can switch it out depending on the accents in your home.

It’s always helpful to have a doorstop on hand like when you’re unloading groceries from the car and don’t have another hand to open the door, it’s very handy!

Faux Olive Tree

Faux olive trees never fail to make a space feel cozier and more inviting. If you don’t have any plants or trees in your home, consider getting one for an empty corner or wall space. They make such a huge difference and will add that touch of greenery your space is craving.

Seagrass Placemat

Swapping your placemats out for something a little more festive and in-season is a really easy way to switch up the table decor. If you’re looking to up your game and create a summer tablescape like the ones you see on Pinterest, some cute placemats are a good place to start!

Elegant Floor Lamp

A good floor lamp is a great way to add to the ambience in your home. If you’re someone who enjoys the warmer lighting (not those bright overhead lights) a floor lamp helps set the mood.

You can also switch the regular bulbs out for ones that have a dimmer to give you that mood lighting.

Accent Cabinet

A cabinet like this one is one of those things that’s worth the investment. It’s a beautiful piece that you know you’re going to have for a long time. You can use it to store dishes and dinnerware or style it the same you would a shelving unit.

But if you have more valuable decor pieces you want to display, this is the place to do it, where it’s protected by glass doors.

Acrylic Book Stand

This books stand is a super helpful piece if you want to display your coffee table book on an opened page. It’s helps keep it elevated and make it stand out, a great piece for your coffee table or entryway table.

A lot of coffee table books have a pretty cover, but an even more beautiful inside. To keep it feeling new, flip to a new page every once in a while to show off a beautiful new picture to brighten up your space.

Linen Pillow Covers

If you’re looking for neutral pillow covers for your couch, get a pack from Amazon. It’s really not worth spending extra money to get something from a higher end brand. You really won’t be able to tell the difference (I mean your bank account will haha). Especially if they’re just pillows to fluff up the couch and fill space.

Wood Picture Frame

If you’re someone who likes to keep it neutral when it comes to home decor, finding pieces that stick with that color palette but also have a fun pattern or texture will help your space feel interesting while still cozy and comfortable.

Table Lamp

An oversized table lamp is a great home decor piece that’s not only functional but will make your home look and feel like something out of an interior design magazine. This one looks just like the lamps you would find on Restoration Hardware (super boujee but also beautiful home furniture brand).

Accent Console Table

This console table would make for a beautiful entryway piece. It’s not too bulky so you don’t have to worry about it taking up too much valuable real estate, but it still gives you enough room to store a key tray and some cute decor pieces.

Maybe add a mirror on the wall above the table and some baskets underneath for an effortless entryway setup that everyone will love!

Rattan Wrapped Candle

A decorative candle that smells good, always hits the spot. If you’re going to get a candle that’s more of a decorative piece, find one that a) matches with the rest of your home decor and b) has a super subtle smell that you won’t get tired of. That way if you want to leave it out all year round, you won’t be bothered by the smell.

This post is all about the best summer home decor that you don’t want to overlook.
