Today’s summer home decor segment is inspired by summer at the shore. Whether you have a timeshare that’s like a home-away-from-home or, a beachy condo, summer home decor always signals a welcome respite.

One of the wonderful things about summer home decor are the colors, textures and motifs. Many styles of comfortable, cushioned rattan sectional furniture can be found in vivid colors.  Weather proof canvas striped pillows in nautical shades, outdoor carpet and of course white accent accessories are currently available in-store. April is also a great month to shop for gazebos, patio accessories like water features and gas grills. The closer we get to Memorial Day, the more you will find that your favorite items will be all sold out.

Summer is the perfect time to make use of ocean motifs like seashells, sea horses and anchors on accessories throughout your weekend home.  Once you arrive and power down, leave the french doors wide open for a breath of fresh air. Feel the stress drain away from you as you step out onto the deck that overlooks the ocean.

No summer home decor is complete without a beautifully themed piece of wall art. In keeping with the sea inspiration, today’s featured artwork is entitled “Balboa” by Vincent Farrell. Click the link to this limited edition serigraph for a closer look at this amazing work of art.
