How are we already halfway through summer?! It’s been such a strange season with everything happening in the world, so more than ever I feel like I’m on the hunt for ways to infuse a little happy into our house. This week, I’ve pulled together a few of my must haves for adding a pop of color into your decor, and with a few simple tweaks here and there, you’re sure to be basking in that summer feeling all the way through fall (or longer, if that’s your jam)!

1. Artwork (Black Owned) 2. Window Treatments 3. Fruit 4. Paint 5. Simple Greenery

NO. 1 ARTWORK

LouLou Art Studio is an Etsy shop that I'm totally obsessed with right now. The owner & creator, Jemma, creates these gorgeous paintings of families, women, and couples, and they're entirely customizable to you and your family/group's skin tones. I'm currently loving this tropical-inspired print - doesn't it give you all the summer vibes?!

NO. 2 WINDOW TREATMENTS

What better way to soak up those long light-filled days than with updated window treatments? For this season, look for options that allow for light to seep through (think filtered shades or sheer curtains), or go for summer-friendly materials like linen to give your space that seasonal infusion you crave.

NO. 3 FRUIT

Hands down the quickest and most impactful way to make a decor statement is to toss a bunch of fruit in a pretty bowl and set it casually on your counter or table. With the bright colors of citrus (bonus if you can find lemons/limes with their leaves still attached), you'll have a totally stylish room that's magazine photoshoot-ready!

NO. 4 PAINT

You know I love a good door color pop, and right now, ultra-saturated greens have me all kinds of in love. Against a creamy backdrop, the color feels fresh and classic, and it's a shade that has potential from summer all the way through winter. Whatever your color preference, giving your front door a quick update is guaranteed to up your curb appeal game. You'll be the talk of the town!

NO. 5 SIMPLE GREENERY

Summer blooms are everywhere right now, but I've gotta say, sometimes just a simple greenery cutting adds just the right amount of texture to a room. And the best part? It's beyond easy (and free) to find these stems - you can snip them from any backyard bush, and even after some seasonal plants are done flowering, their stems & leaves can still pack a punch in a vase.

Are you in the “make summer last as long as possible” camp? Or are you already itching for a dose of fall to shake things up? I’m not quite ready for those cozy layers and pumpkin-spiced everything yet, but talk to me in a month and I might be on board. For now, it’s off to the kiddie pool in the back with my sunhat and swimsuit - I’m gonna sunbathe for as long as I can!
