You’ve been working on your garden all spring…or not. No shame in buying your favorite flowers pre-grown. Either way, you should bring a little bit of that outdoor awe inside. Summer flowers are already colorful so we recommend keeping them chic and using a clear vase. You can get these practically anywhere, chances are you even have something usable around the house already.

Utilize Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Summer and farmers’ markets go hand in hand. This means juicy tomatoes, crisp apples, and all the rest are on the menu for the next few months. Take advantage of items you already have in your kitchen and put your fresh produce in the spotlight. The only thing you have to do is find the perfect accent bowl. Having a summer produce bowl is refreshing, convenient, and perfect for snacking. This is also an opportunity to bring something unique into your kitchen with a colored or textured bowl, or keep it simple and show off the produce instead.

When we think about this season’s prints we think about dark blues, full yellows, and all things that scream ‘good vibes only.’

Art deco prints are not only trendy, they are the perfect embodiment of summer. These prints have fun, vibrant color schemes that mesh perfectly into a high-energy, low worry summer. They turn a drab kitchen into something more exciting.

Bring warmth to your summer kitchen revamp with a very trendy subtle rustic accent in the form of a wooden cutting board. When you’re not chopping away, a nice cutting board can also double as a nice charcuterie board or serving board. This pairs well with late night summer wine and good friends.
