SUMMER DECORATING MOTIFS

Use one of these farmhouse-friendly motifs to add fresh vibes to your home this summer.

1. FRUIT. Don’t use all fruit—just pick one. Lemons are the most popular farmhouse summer motif, but you can also use oranges, watermelon, cherries or peaches. These are especially fun to add in the kitchen through hand towels, bowls and glassware.

2. AMERICAN FLAGS. Use a red, white and blue color palette as a starting point; then add stars and stripes wherever you can. Try an American flag throw pillow, starsand-stripes bunting or red-andwhite checkered placemats.

3. SUNFLOWERS. These flowers can be a great focal point for your floral arrangements, but also add them in other ways, such as kitchen towels, a front-door wreath, throw pillows and wall art.

4. HONEY BEES. A honey bee motif can include the bees themselves, but also beehives and the color yellow. This is a cute tablescape theme for dishware, a beehive centerpiece and napkin rings.
