Colorful Summer Home Décor Roundup

Colorful Summer Home Décor Roundup

I’m currently sitting here in the sunroom with all of our blackout curtains tightly shut, trying to keep the summer sun from entirely negating our air conditioning. In other words, summer has set in hard here in Virginia. John is completely over it, which I can understand since his job keeps him out in the heat all day every day (he’s a full-time fly fishing guide and private estate landscaper), but I’m kind of loving it. The heat, sunshine, and near-constant thunderstorms have me reminiscing of days gone by when I was a kid and had zero worries other than picking out which bathing suit to wear next. I’m a fall girlie through and through, but for some reason, I’m savoring this particular summer season.

Of course, that means I’ve also been finding myself drawn to summer-themed décor as of late. I’m currently loving colorful home accents and floral patterns, poppy designs, and anything in a classic beach-y sunset color palette. Here’s a quick list of the things that have lately caught my eye in case you’re finding yourself leaning hard into summer, too.

Colorful Summer Home Décor Roundup

1. Set of 4 Velvet Throw Pillow Covers

2. Woven Rattan Basket Planter

3. Floral Print Armchair

4. Wall-Mounted Planter

5. Airy Cotton Voile Solid Quilt & Shams

6. Floral Printed Tray

7. Blue Table Lamp

8. Summer Landscape Canvas Art

9. Green Color Block Cotton Baskets, Set of 3

What’s your favorite thing on that list? For me, personally, I think it’s the Throw Pillow Covers set and the Floral Printed Tray. I was actually really surprised by the price on that tray since I found it on Anthropologie, which tens to be out of my décor budget. Might just have to treat myself to it! Also, I know that this roundup isn’t really all that boldly colorful, but I generally find myself drawn to softer summer tones, like dusty pinks and blues, rather than neon shades of the rainbow. If you feel the same way, then I hope this roundup helps inspire you to look for summer colors that fit your aesthetic, even if it’s not quite so expected. Hope you’re having a great start to summer, my friends!

I’m so excited to announce that the DGD Pottery shop is officially reopened for business! In case you didn’t know, the shop had been active for several years, but my production was abruptly halted in 2020 thanks to the pandemic. I had to rearrange all of my priorities when it came to business to keep up with the changing landscape of things throughout the COVID era, and my Etsy shop was one of the things that was gently placed off to the side. This year I knew I wanted to make it a priority to get back up and running, though, so I’ve been working hard at the studio, and now have a fresh collection of handmade pieces ready to ship out to their new homes across the US.

The pieces you see pictured in today’s blog post are just a small sampling of what you’ll now find live in the DGD Pottery Etsy shop. I’ve been experimenting with more organic, minimal glazes this season, and hope you love the Japanese-inspired shapes I’ve, lately, been influenced by. The tea bowls are some of my personal favorites in this summer drop, but I’m also excited to offer ikebana vases again. These types of unique vases are something I definitely want to experiment more with, so keep an eye out for those in future drops if you’re as fascinated by this style of floral arranging as I am (see a demo of how I do it here). I decided to forage for my own “florals” to style my ikebana with this time, and ultimately chose evergreen branches and sprigs of dill. I’m very into the idea of using something other than flowers in these types of vases for a change every now and then.
