Decorate an entry with a wicker basket and wildflowers or found branches in a weathered planter.
4. Embrace An Indoor-Outdoor Vibe
Switch out more formal counter stools for something with beachy, tropical style.
5. Try Indigo Accents
Accessorize a guest room with art, a ginger jar table lamp and a striped throw pillow in the same hue for a layered look.
6. Bring In Vintage Finds
Mount flea market art on a bookcase to create visual interest and add personality.
7. Go Bold With Color
Paint a screen and back door set in a vibrant color like canary yellow. It will bring a smile to your face!

Layer block-printed sheets, coverlets and accent pillows for an interesting mix of color and pattern.
