Perhaps you spend your summer elsewhere, or maybe you entertain outdoors, or simply want to enhance your home with little touches you’ll enjoy this season, these are picks that add charm without costing a lot.
Most of these picks are from H&M and Target!
You’re not in the mood for a big project. Just something small to refresh one small space or another during the few quiet days that you might have this summer.
Sometimes little efforts to refresh a space yields lots of enjoyment all summer long. So whether it’s a front porch, an entry way, how you set your table, or a children’s bedrooms, there’s lots of great values out there during this season, especially at H&M and Target.
Let’s start with the outdoors.
The Front Porch
Start at the entrance with a pretty mat. Then add flowers! The hanging planter box is wide enough to be the focal point of your porch. You’ll enjoy the view whether you’re inside or out. There’s coordinating floor planters too in a calming shade of green (+ other colors). Coordinate with a throw pillow on your porch chairs. Here’s also a classic planter box option that’ll have you enjoying looking out your window all season long.
