When decorating cabinets, the key is to choose items that are visually appealing and in the same color family. Have fun with it! Blend styles, patterns, colors, and time periods for a breezy summertime look.

Add Summer Pops of Color
Wall Art One of the easiest ways to change the vibe in any room is by changing the art on the wall. For summer, switch out your artwork for colorful prints to add a pop of color and fun to your kitchen. For a cohesive look, stick with a theme and choose prints of colorful fruits or citrus, beachscapes, or botanical prints.
Use Natural Elements as Decor
Citrus Nothing says summer quite like a pop of yellow. Yellows can also make for fun custom cabinet colors perfect for playrooms and loft spaces. In your kitchen, you may want to opt for a more buttery, rich yellow as opposed to a bolder citrus tone. If you would prefer to skip the custom paint color, decorating with fruit is a quick way to transform your kitchen decor. Whether you choose to add soap and candles in citrus scents, bowls of citrus on the countertop, dish towels, cookware, or even a seasonal wall color change, embracing summertime is all about citrus!
Wood Tones If you are a fan of wood tones in your kitchen but want to lighten things up for the summer, there are many ways to do so. One option is to use a lighter-color wood such as maple or butcher block. These woods have a natural lightness that can brighten up any space.
Incorporate lighter-tone wood pieces by updating your primary cutting board to butcher block or opt for some open-concept shelving with a lighter finish.
Plants Greenery can add freshness to any space. Shades of green are another popular color for custom cabinets in the kitchen and throughout your home. You can also bring the green into your kitchen this summer with faux or real potted plants!
Adding plants to your home décor is an easy, affordable and stylish way to bring life and freshness into a space. If you have bright, white marble countertops, placing a few smaller plants on them or larger plants on the floor can create a stunning contrast that really pops!
