7 home items that bring summer indoors

Outdoor furniture is a must, but what about the rest of your home? These products will have you feeling like you’re on a staycation in no time.

By

Tropical Arrangement Pillow Cover, $44; West Elm.
Sprucing up the house with summer-themed items should be easy, and this tropical pillow cover from West Elm makes it so. Get your couch or reading chair in the summer spirit, too.
Figural Shell Appetizer Plates, $8-$15; Pottery Barn.
Can’t get enough of the beach? The shells you bring home wouldn’t be quite big enough to use for serving summertime meals, but these are. The shell-shaped plates come in light pink and blue, and are a perfect seasonal addition to any table.
Palm Leaves Green Rug, $30-$70; Pier One Imports.
We know, you couldn’t get enough of your vacation. Bring the calming memories of palm trees back home with this rug.
Summer Bouquets Set of 4 – Shadow Boxes, $20; Uttermost.
Save the summer blooms for as long as you’d like with these shadow boxes. Sea lavender and dried baby’s breath were trapped in time to keep summer alive throughout your home.
Painterly Cirtus Tablecloth, $80-$125; Williams Sonoma.
When life gives you lemons, it’s probably summertime. This tablecloth will bring the bright and fresh feelings of the season into your kitchen or dining room, and you might just want to make some lemonade to go with it.
Vallarta Stool, $168; Anthropologie.
Variable furniture is best for the hotter months as furniture swaps from outdoor to indoor, and visa versa. This Vallarta stool (which comes in a variety of colors) can add a pop of color to any corner where guests need to perch or set down a cocktail.
Mixed Color Wine Glasses, $25; Wine Enthusiast.
Summer begs for bright colors, and as friends drop by for late-night happy hours with the kids, swap in these wine glasses for a tasteful (and shatter-proof) toast.
