Hi friends, hope you had a lovely weekend! Last week, I showed you our patriotic porch all decked out for summer and I’m back today to show you how I added a few summery touches to our living room. Decorating for the changing seasons doesn’t have to be fussy. Try these simple summer decorating ideas to welcome in the new season.

By switching out a few pillow covers and adding a new planter pot to my DIY coffee table (plans here!), our living room got an instant makeover! I love that these few, simple changes have the power to totally refresh a space. That round side table is also a DIY – you can build one for yourself with my tutorial.

I didn’t realize it before, but I’m now seeing repeating patterns in this space. I’m either subliminally drawn to the same things, or every retailer is selling the same stuff.
Take for instance the diamond patterns in the throw pillows and in the rug – totally unintentional, but it works well together!
But wait, there’s more…
Check out the similar pattern in the fireplace screen and on the garden stool. Kind of eerie, right? Dun dun dunnnn… welcome to the twilight zone.

We’ve spotted yet another diamond pattern in this mirrored box – I like to keep our remote controls tucked away in here.

Have you guys seen the new Opalhouse line at Target? It is absolute perfection! It’s like Anthropologie had a baby with Target. Anthro designs + Target prices = one happy Jen. I can’t get enough – I am in deep smit.

Thanks sweet friend! I thought of you when I was adding all the aqua/teal touches! Haha. xoxo
Beautiful, Jen! I love the patterns – and the repeat of them. Those accent chairs with the patterned pillows are gorgeous! So glad you could be part of this tour series:)
Thank you Krista!
I love your style, Jen! So pretty and full of summer inspiration. I love the trick on hiding the remotes — I do that too! lol
Thanks Laura! I love hiding away stuff that’s not “photo-friendly.” haha!
I love your living room, Jen! You’ve nailed the color combo with the pops of navy and that pretty sea-foamy teal color of the planter. I’m so thrilled to be on this fun summer home tour with you! Enjoy your week 🙂
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Jenna! Made my day xo
Love the patterns and those beautiful chairs! 🙂 Thanks for the summery inspiration!
Thanks Caitlin!
