August... too early for pumpkins and wool blankets, but we can feel that fall is right around the corner. Easing our way into fall decor can be easy!
This month we are sharing 10 🌻"Late Summer Decor Ideas"🌻.
1.Decorate with Fruit.
Apples are in season, why not decorate with green apples instead of deep red fall toned apples. They add a fresh, summer feel leading into fall.
Lemons also add a splash of summer to any space! Randi K. Lunch Napkins here

Fall is coming, sunflowers are in bloom!
Add some bright, yellow sunflowers that say fall is coming, but summer is still here!
Pair with white accessories.

4. Change your Pillows and Throws
Add some peaches and beige to your late summer space. When September arrives, add fall rust tones with accessories or flowers.
Pillow covers are a great way to change your space from summer to fall.

Late summer... we are still vacationing, swimming, camping and wearing our flip flops!
Flannel, pumpkins and wool are not on our radar. We can slowly transition to fall decor with hints of the upcoming season, while keeping our spaces summery, light and bright!
Happy August! Enjoy every minute!☀️
