Before we dive into the juicy inspirational ideas here are some important tips to consider before you get started.

01 | Remove and replace instead of cover-up and overcrowd. If you are bringing in some summer pillows store away your everyday ones until the season has passed. The same goes for additional decor added to your home in any way.

02 | Shoot for a theme. If you have lemons here and nautical anchors there it all might start to feel a little overwhelming. Pick a theme and stick to it! Plus this will help others see that this is a summer decoration not just an everyday decoration.

03 | Go minimalist. Instead of transforming every square inch of every room in your home try a few subtle changes that yield large results. Change the decor on the mantle or switch out the front door wreath to something seasonally appropriate.
