Summertime is almost upon us, and it’s time to put away the soft, pale-colored flowers and bring on some bold! Here is a list of the most popular summer flower colors and two of my favorite summertime themes to help you make your home summer savvy.

Adding Summer Through Color
What’s in this summer are bright, bold, and vibrant colors. Think corals, turquoises, hot pinks, oranges, sunshine yellows, bright greens, and cherry reds. Check out the two themes below to incorporate these colors into your decor.

Giving Your Home a Tropical Feel
Exotic and tropical flowers such as heliconia, bird of paradise, ginger, gloriosa, anthurium, and orchids give your home that warm, summery feel. Use intense shades of red, pink, orange, and yellow to complete the tropical feel. Tropical greenery is also a great way to add decor. Choose items like palm trees, jungle plants, and bamboo. If you want to add an even more tropical feel to your home, add accents such as jungle animal art prints/photos, table waterfalls, frozen drink knick knacks, even hawaiian inspired decor.

The Ocean in Your Home
Bringing the feel of the beach into your home is a great way to decorate for summertime. Use vibrant blues, greens, and aqua, with subtle hints of white. Some great flowers to use in these colors are bells of ireland, gerbera daisies, hydrangea, calla lilies, delphinium, and anemones. Use accent pieces in your home or arrangements such as shells, fish/dolphin decor, photos of the ocean, beach balls, and lighthouses to name a few.
