Breezy Summer Styling : Refresh Your Home with Seasonal Scents, Color, and Art
Summer is the season of open windows, golden light, and embracing the outdoors. It’s the perfect time to refresh your home’s look and feel with warm-weather color palettes, seasonal scents, and playful textures that bring the essence of summer inside – or better yet, take your inside outside. At Courtside Market, we believe home styling should reflect the joy of the season, from the art on your walls to the scent of your favorite candle drifting through the air.
1. Embrace a Light & Breezy Color Scheme
Think of the colors of summer : sun-washed yellows, coastal blues, sandy neutrals, and crisp whites. These tones instantly make your space feel airy and open. Start with soft base tones like ivory or pale gray, and layer on accents of turquoise, coral, or sea form green with table-top accents, glassware, mugs, and gallery-wrapped canvases or framed art.
Summer is also a great time to switch out heavier textures for linen, cotton, or light canvas – especially in your window treatments and decorative pillows. Keep the energy relaces and breathable.
2. Incorporate Seasonal Artwork
Nothing sets the tone quite like fresh artwork. Swap darker or moodier pieces with vibrant, seasonal canvas prints that celebrate beach scenes, floral patterns, or even abstract summer palettes.
Wall art isn’t just for interiors—our canvas prints, wooden décor, entry signs, and wall decals also work beautifully in enclosed porches or covered patios to extend your indoor style outward. Consider pairing botanical or nautical art with real greenery or woven accents for a laid-back, summer-inspired gallery wall.
3. Set the Mood with Candles and Summer Scents
Scent is one of the most powerful ways to evoke the season. Summer calls for fresh, clean, and citrusy aromas—think grapefruit, cucumber mint, coconut lime, and ocean breeze. Our hand-poured candles are made in the USA and designed to match your space in both style and scent.
Don’t forget to coordinate the candle vessel color with your decor. A blue glass candle holder complements coastal themes, while soft gold or blush pink jars work beautifully in a romantic summer bedroom setting.
4. Take the Indoors Out
Summer is the season to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Whether it’s your patio, porch, or balcony, bring cozy indoor touches outside. Add layered rugs, decorative pillows, and even decorative morning mugs and glassware to enjoy the morning sunshine over some freshly brewed coffee or those afternoon, early-evening sips of your favorite cocktails or other refreshing beverages, while being surrounded by a curated, lived-in feel.
And the ultimate outdoor essential? Citronella candles. Stylish and practical, citronella helps ward off mosquitoes and other pesky bugs and lets you enjoy the sunset in peace. Choose citronella candles that match your décor—ours come in elegant jars paired with complementary artboards or blended with trend-driven designs and outdoor themes . . . all of which also can double as table centerpieces and then be used to display and store your favorite treasures or other outdoor summer snacks.
5. Create Summer Vignettes
Small styling moments go a long way—think of them as snapshots of summer throughout your home. A coastal-inspired tray with seashells, a mini bouquet of wildflowers, and a lemon- scented candle on the entry table. A trio of artwork in soft blues above your guest bed. These touches bring personality and freshness without requiring a full overhaul.
