Summer Kitchen Decoration Ideas

As summer rolls around and you're thinking about enlivening the heart of your home - your kitchen - you may need some inspiration! Decorating your kitchen for summer can be joyous and as straightforward as placing a collection of vibrant flowers on your kitchen countertop or bringing in summer colors to your beloved breakfast corner.

Discover how to give your kitchen a summer makeover with these five fantastic ideas from the Stoneworx® blog.

Dress up Your Kitchen Island

Your island is your kitchen's centerpiece, so why not make it the focus of your summer decor too! Use the surface like a table to proudly exhibit your seasonal decorations.

When decking out your kitchen island for summer, keep utility in mind. Nestle an assortment of season-specific items like seashells and summer fruits in a tray or small basket. It’s easy to relocate the decorations to your kitchen countertops when you need the whole workspace, as they are neatly contained.

Bring Summer Colors to Your Kitchen

Summer is synonymous with a palette of vibrant, lively colors, from the bright blues of the ocean to sunflower yellows. Infuse your kitchen with these hues through accessories to instantly radiate a summer feel. Arrange jars filled with sunflowers, fruits, or colorful stones to place on your kitchen countertops or open shelves. Repeat this theme across your kitchen to embrace the season's charm fully.

Introduce Summer Linens

Elevate the summer spirit with dish towels and cloth napkins adorned with sun or beach motifs. As kitchen towels and linens are omnipresent, rotating them with season-centric designs can be a fun way to celebrate the change in seasons. Opt for subtly nuanced linens in summer colors, like blue, yellow, and green. A seasonally themed tablecloth is a perfect base to introduce cool tones into your kitchen.

Keep it Light and Breezy

When decorating your kitchen with a summer theme, infuse your breakfast nooks with uncomplicated seasonal touches. Place a basket full of colorful summer fruits or flowers on a ledge or shelf. Add soft pillows in summer colors to a window seat or breakfast banquette. Consider switching out artwork for summer kitchen wall decor in oceanic hues or motifs. The key is to enjoy the process and maintain an effortless, breezy feel!

Display Summer Table Decor

All it takes to spruce up a kitchen table for summer is a simple centerpiece. The centerpiece can have an organic, loose feel or a structured look with all elements contained within a vessel.

Begin with a vase of bright summer flowers or branches with light, airy leaves. Scatter a few seashells or pieces of driftwood around the vase, and voila! For more thematic parties, incorporate nautical elements like miniature boats or lighthouse figures. Place the centerpiece on your table or a low-traffic section of your kitchen countertop.
