If your shared spaces are starting to feel tired and dreary, brighten them up with summer living room decor.

Summer Living Room Decor Ideas

We’ve compiled some suggestions to spruce up your shared space this season:

1. Bright pillows– Decorative pillows are a simple way to brighten up your space for the summer. If you have more neutral furniture, incorporate colorful pillows to brighten up the entire living room.
2. Fun blankets – Finding complimentary throws is another way to add dimension to a neutral space. Look for a lighter blanket with bold colors or playful patterns.
3. A new rug- If you’re without a rug or need to upgrade your current one, consider investing in one with fun designs or colors to liven up the living area.
4. Colorful prints- If your wall space is feeling pretty empty or dull, visit a local art shop and find some bright prints to add to your walls. You can also find some fun frames to go with the artwork at many local thrift shops.
5. More plants- Incorporating greenery into your shared space can bring it to life. Visit your local plant shop or farmers market and find fun plants and pots to plant them in. Alternatively, hanging plants also adds a fun touch. You can also get in the habit of rotating out different flowers in a dazzling vase as well.
6. String lights- Throw up some fairy string lights to brighten up your space in the evening. You’ll find this simple decor completely changes the feel of the room, especially during a summer movie night. Consider hanging up LED vine curtains string lights as a one-step solution for adding light and greenery.
7. Invest in a diffuser- Not only are there a variety of fun diffusers out there to choose from, but this is also a way to actually freshen your place up for summer. Find the diffuser that fits your style, and then choose scented essential oils that remind you of summertime.
8. Add Candles– Bright, scented candles throughout the living room are another easy way to enhance the smell of your space and provide you those summertime feels.
