Using Framed Art Pictures to Give Your Home a Summertime Feel
Summertime is a great time to shed all that heavy, dark winter decor and infuse some fresh new colors and lightness into your home. In the hot, grueling days of July and August, you want your home to provide a cool retreat, an escape from those “dog days” of summer. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is with the wall art you select to go with your summertime design. Art prints and other wall decor can really set the tone for summer. Here are some great ideas on how to use framed art pictures to create a light and airy ambiance in your home.
Art for a Beach-Inspired Decor
Nothing says summer like a beach decor, and creating a beach cottage feeling in your home can make you feel like you’re on holiday all summer long. This is easily achieved by swapping out your regular knick-knacks with interesting shells and other ocean-themed items, and adding some light slipcovers to your couch and other living room seating. Then use some framed art pictures featuring beach and ocean themes to round out the look. You might go for a traditional seaside scene such as Beach Bunch by Lin Seslar, or choose a more breathtaking vista like Diane Romanello’s Summer Moments II. Or you could take a more nostalgic approach and hang an image that reminds of those summer beach jaunts of the past, such as Summer Breeze by Richard Judson Zolan or Summer by Frank Weston Benson. Either way, beach-themed framed art can bring a whole new dimension to your home decor.
Using Art to Bring the Outdoors In
Summer-themed home designs take advantage of all this season has to offer in terms of color, light, and texture, and framed art pictures can help you capture all the sights and smells of the outdoors at this time of year. In this case, look for images suffused with the warmth and brightness of a summer day. Summer Breeze by Alice Dalton Brown is a great example of this, as you can practically feel the warm summer breeze floating in past the curtains. The wonderful light and bright colors captured in The Glory of Summer by Heinz Voss will help brighten up any room. Even something like Monet’s Chrysanthemum, 1897, will bring all the warm summer colors into your living room.
Add a Tropical Flair to Your Home with Wall Art
For a bolder look, introduce the bright colors of the tropics into your home. Bright slipcovers and throw pillows that incorporate floral prints along with a beautiful flower centerpiece can really spruce up the look. Find tropical wall art to complement your color scheme showcasing panoramic vistas or abstract forms. Art that features palm trees and ocean views like Tropical Beach and Summer Love brings the tropical theme into focus. Or go with Ethan Harper’s floral prints Summer I and Summer II, which can really add simplicity and color to the decor.
By incorporating framed art pictures into your summer decor, you can create a look that provides an escape during those hot summer months. When you decorate your home for summer, you create a colorful, light feel that you can enjoy all summer long.

Presence $3.44 Presence is one of Led Zeppelin’s more overlooked albums, languishing in the monstrous shadow of its predecessor, Physical Graffiti. It’s more noted in Zeppelin mythology for the circumstances in which it was recorded, in double-quick time with vocalist Robert Plant’s leg in plaster after a car accident. The lack of time does show–much of the album feels like generic heavy rock, bigger on volume … |
