• Swap out your prints: Head over to Etsy and explore their collection of summer prints to add some tropical beach vibes to your home.
• Painted planters: Another great DIY summer decor idea is giving your plants’ homes an upgrade. One way to do this is by painting your terra cotta (or other pre-existing) planters.
