Our editors share the easy home decor finds they are shopping to spark some instant joy this summer

The uplift summer decor buys.

The Uplift is a monthly series in which our Style & Trends Editor Charlotte Olby uncovers the best decor to bring joy to your home. She consults our experts and picks through thousands of pieces from the biggest designers and retailers to bring you the very best.

As soon as summer begins to heat up, I swear there's a little voice in me that defrosts and starts whispering: "Add to cart" And it turns out I'm not alone. With all of our favorite retailers dropping sunshine-ready new-in edits, there's some seriously good shopping out there right now, so who am I to deny myself (and you) a little encouragement?

Much like you don't go out and buy an entire new wardrobe for summer, maybe just a new swimsuit or some sunnies, your home shouldn't require an entire overhaul to feel refreshed for the new season. Acting as accessories for your home, summer decor ideas are those smaller buys that help to spark a little more joy in a room after you've swapped out your heavy fabrics and fall-feeling hues.

Here, I sat down and chatted with the expert editors at Homes & Gardens to find out what summer decor buys they've got on their wish lists this summer.

Editor-Approved Summer Decor Buys


While these summer decor finds our editors have chosen might not be to everyone's task, you can see there's a clear theme for summer shopping to help with your own shopping cart: sunshine hues, loose and airy linens, a smattering of cheerful prints, and ways to help you bring the outside inside. From switching out bedding to fresh new scents, adding these easy swaps into your home will help you to feel like your home has had a facelift ready for the warmer weather.
