7 Summer Kitchen Decor Ideas To Freshen Up Your Space

Sometimes summer decorating can be as simple as swapping out your kitchen towels for themed ones. Displaying summer themed hand towels can instantly set the stage for a bright cheerful environment!

Use hand towels that show off a summer pattern such as florals, symbols such as butterflies, or lemons, bright colors like yellow or teal, and charming warm weather sentiments.

In addition to hand towels, you can also display other themed kitchen accessories to match or to coordinate. This can include things like oven mitts, potholders, a dish drying mat, and cooking utensils.

Hang some these accessories on wall hooks near your oven to amplify your theme even more. You can even display brightly colored serveware to match your new kitchen accessories and tie the whole look together.

Wall art does a great job at transforming almost any room in your home. It can simply accent a theme or it can completely transform the overall feeling of the environment.

Add some new wall art to your kitchen for a brand new summer look. Whether you replace the wall art you already have display, or add more to empty wall space, you can easily decorate with style.

Hang up wall art that contains a charming kitchen sentiment with bright summer colors and patterns. Depending on the aesthetic you’re going for, you can opt for a humorous sentiment or something short and sweet.

Lemons and florals are both perfect summer themes, so find wall signs that contain these elements. If you have limited wall space, find smaller signs that can fit in clever areas, such as leaning against your backsplash.
