The Best Outdoor Decorating Ideas for Summer

June 6, 2023 Posted by Giselle Bartolo Home Decor

As the weather heats up and we head into summer, it’s time to spend more time outdoors! Whether you have a grass-filled backyard, a cozy balcony, or a small patio, here are our top outdoor decorating ideas to transform your space into a sanctuary for summer!

1. Plenty of Seating is A Must!

No one wants to be on their feet all day, so having plenty of seating options is a must for your space! Opt for weather-resistant furniture that can withstand both rain and sun to make sure your seating lasts. Want some added color and style? Consider incorporating outdoor cushions and throw pillows in bold patterns to add some personality.

2. Plants, Plants and More Plants

Is your space more of a city-vibe? Bring the beauty of nature to you with plants. Hang colorful flower baskets from your porch or balcony, create potted plant arrangements on your patio, and grow herbs to spice up your space and your cooking! 

3. Light It Up!

Just because night falls doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Hang string lights above your seating area or weave them through trees and shrubs for a cozy glow. Lanterns, candles, and solar-powered garden lights are also great options!

4. Stay Cool and Create Shade

Shield yourself from the scorching summer sun by incorporating shade solutions into your outdoor space. Install a retractable awning, set up a patio umbrella, or create a shaded retreat with a pergola or canopy. This not only provides relief from the heat but also adds an element of privacy!

5. Add Art 

Add personality to your outdoor area by incorporating art and decor pieces. Hang colorful, weather-resistant artwork on your walls or fences to create a gallery-like feel, and consider placing outdoor rugs to further enhance the overall aesthetic.

6. Activities, Activate!

Your space is for more than just lounging and dining! Set up a cozy reading nook with a hammock, install a backyard swing, or create a dedicated play area for kids.

By infusing vibrant decor, natural elements, and comfortable seating, you’ll transform your outdoor space into an oasis.  With these outdoor decorating ideas, you can create an inviting summer sanctuary right at your doorstep!
