Summer Home Decor Ideas | My Faves For Home, Outdoors & More
Hey there! If you are new to reading Home with Booz, thank you for being here. If you have visited this blog before, thank you for coming back to learn with me ways we can make our lives less complicated and more fulfilled.
I am so excited to kick off the summer season with the end of the school year and the holiday weekend this week. This time of year, I am shifting gears to more outdoor activities, and refreshing our outdoor spaces. This is always a good opportunity to do some shopping and catch the Memorial Day sales for many items on your list. We are planning for some time at the lake and hoping for some decent weather to help us welcome in the summer months. Today, I am sharing a roundup of some of my favorites for home decor, outdoor spaces and organized living, many of which are on sale for the holiday! I hope you find some inspiration in today’s post and can enjoy a few items on sale this week.

If you are wanting to refresh your living spaces, you might like this post on how to decorate with intention, curating spaces you love. I share how I made a pivot to purchase only items I love, which has eliminated mindless purchases and created a home to truly reflect our style. One of my favorite timeless items is a good coffee table book, and I share in this post a guide to the best coffee table and lifestyle books. There are so many great options to choose from and each one brings a different vibe to a space! Target is where I buy all of my coffee table books and I will mix in a few home pieces from there too. Crate&Barrel is my go to for those classic home decor pieces that truly stand the test of time. This weekend, they are having a Memorial Day event with up to 50% off home decor. This is a great time to purchase those investment items for your home!

- Wicker Swivel Rocker Chairs (set of 2)
- Wicker Patio Set

- Bar Height Dining Set
- Black Ficonstone Outdoor Planter

If you need more inspiration for your outdoor spaces, you may like this recent post on easy porch and patio container plants. Easy, low maintenance plants are great to have around outdoor spaces to add texture, color and ambiance to sitting areas. I potted all of my outdoor plants on Mother’s Day weekend and I am impressed by how the tomato and herb plants are growing in just a few weeks. I am hoping for a good bounty of produce this year to enjoy our favorite summer recipes. I plan to share an update later this summer as I received quite a few questions on how these plants do in containers in our backyard.
Organizing Favorites
The last few months while we spent more time inside, I tackled a few organizing projects that had been on my list. It felt so good to get a few areas back in shape and more efficient for our daily use.
Check out the links below for my favorite items I am using on repeat around our home.
- Water Hyacinth Basket
- Storage Bins
- Stackable Shoe Drawer
- Drawer Trays
- Storage Basket
- Handled Pantry Basket
- Storage Latch Box
- Narrow Deep Fridge Bins
- Lazy Susan
- Multi Purpose Bins
If you need more inspiration on organizing spaces around your home, check out my post on how to organize and declutter kids spaces and easy ways to create stations and declutter kitchen spaces for more details on how these products are put to use in our home. In this post, I spent time sharing how to build systems to create an organized home and my thoughts on key principles for organized living. If you have goals to improve your living spaces with simple systems, the items listed above are low cost options with endless possibilities to kick start a new project this summer. The Container Store is my favorite place to shop for all things organizing and they are having a 30% off storewide sale this weekend! It’s a great time to stock up on products from this store.
