Summer Beaches & Breezes – and Decor

It's a fresh new season and what better way to welcome Summer than with a timeless beach or nautical theme?! Turn your summer getaway–or your year-round home!– into a vacation destination. It's anchors away with these lively ideas for summer decor, wall decals and more.

1. Speaking of anchors, they make perfect hooks for all those wet beach towels. Easy for kids to use too–maybe more towels will be hanging on the wall than languishing on the floor. Towels need to be dry and ready for whatever new seaside, lakeside or poolside adventure awaits next.

2. Washable and removable linen slipcovers for your sofa and chairs make summer housekeeping a breeze. Add some fun sailor-inspired pillows for comfy lounging and let your nautical adventure begin.

3. Kid rooms needing a summer theme? A-hoy matey! Try a pirate/nautical decor scheme. Wall Decor Plus More has some really cool wall stickers that will easily turn that room into an adventure setting. Be sure to add the Nautical Growth Chart to measure how quickly your little pirates are growing.

4. Summer means guests! Spruce up your guest room decor with some of the great options shown here!

5. Giving your whole house a new look for the season? Decorate with the soft colors of sand and sea, sun and waves. Gently-washed greens, blues, beiges and pale yellows will turn your home into a beachy retreat. Leave your cares and your shoes at the door!

I hope these ideas inspire your imagination as you freshen and restyle your home for summer. Make this the beachy-est, most nautical summer yet!
