Summer is almost here (and the pollen is almost gone)! It’s time to open up the doors and windows to let in the fresh air and sunshine. Help make your home bright and inviting with a few key accents.
Designer Kacy Carroll of Carroll Raughley Designs shares her favorite local finds for creating a summertime vibe.
Bring nature inside with these beautiful topiaries found at Shoppe, $18 to $69
I love these topiaries that come in various sizes spotted at Shoppe Birmingham. Bringing elements of nature into your decor livens up any room. I would use one next to my kitchen window or three in varying sizes on my kitchen island. The height and the color is visually appealing with an added bonus of being easy to maintain.
Jenny Smith pot from Shoppe, $92
This great-looking lettuce edge planter by Jenny Smith can also be found at Shoppe Birmingham. With its vibrant shade of green, it’s easy to add a dose of summer to any space. Try putting it stacked on top of a stack of books or use it as a centerpiece for your dining room table, an accent table or a countertop. Fill it with fresh fruit, moss or orchids to make it yours.
A statement piece such as this can give a room a completely new look and doesn’t break the bank. Woven chair from Details, $325
Light and airy in both design and color, this chair invokes a feeling of a bringing the outdoors in with textures that enliven and lighten up a space. Whether used in a pair or singularly as an occasional chair, these are perfect for giving a breakfast room or keeping room an updated look.
Pillows from Trouve, $140
Pillows are a simple and effective way to change your decor. Incorporate the colors of your garden with these gorgeous pillows.
