By the time summer rolls around, you’re likely over spring cleaning and are ready to invite in a little new decor, whether to entertain during the warmer months or to boost your own spirits.
While you might have big desires for change, your bank account may not comply. Fortunately, Target makes it easy to refresh your decor without busting your budget.
Check out these seven summer decor items for a quick and affordable summer refresh.
Room Essentials Printed Plush Striped Throw BlanketÂ
Summer is a season of warmth and brightness outside; why not bring that same sunny quality indoors, too? You can easily add a pop of color to any room with one of these Room Essentials printed plush striped throw blankets — this one in yellow and white conjures sunny days at the beach. Each blanket is just $10.
Florissimo Half-Circle Outdoor Door MatÂ
If winter weather treated your current front door mat badly with rain, slush, snow or mud, welcome in the sunny months with this charming Florissimo half-circle outdoor mat. A bouquet of colorful flowers will greet approaching guests instead of dirt or grime. It’s the perfect shape for a small porch or stairwell, too. For just $15, get one for each threshold.
Hook Sedum Artificial Plant
While plants and shrubs tend to thrive in the blooming and temperate days of spring, depending on your climate, by the time summer truly lands, many plants can’t hack the heat, literally. Don’t worry about watering this hook sedum artificial plant — it needs nothing except for the right location to bring a little touch of life, indoors or out. Each plant is $20.
Printed Cotton With Embroidery Lumbar Throw Pillow
Whether your current patio furniture didn’t weather the winter very well or you’re just due for a refresh, Target makes it simple with affordable throw pillows, for indoors or out. Check out the vibrant colors and fun florals of this Room Essentials pillow, in blue or red theme, to brighten up your sitting spaces and offer lumbar support, too. Each pillow is just $10.
Threshold Ceramic Citronella Jar CandleÂ
Summer nights are perfect for outdoor dining, events and lounging. However, you’re not the only ones who might enjoy coming out at night — mosquitos and other bugs are more than happy to join you. Thus, this Threshold ceramic citronella jar candle serves two purposes — it adds a touch of charming flair to any outdoor space while warding off the creepy crawlies. Each candle is just $15.
Transpac Resin Animated Bird SetÂ
When the summer months hit, you might find yourself not only spending more time outside, but wanting to make those spaces feel more homey or inviting, especially if you tend to host BBQs or parties. If you don’t have a big budget for decor but want to add a little cheer, check out this resin set of three animated birds. Each set is $21.99 on sale right now.
Artificial Fiddle Leaf Fig PlantsÂ
If the green thumb has forsaken you, but you love the way plants look, look no further than this artificial fiddle leaf fig plant with its impressive height and shiny green leaves. Turn a home office or living room into a modern jungle. Prices range depending on size, but this 39-inch version is $44.49 on sale. Â
