The days before summer’s official kickoff are melting away faster than a slushy sitting in the midday sun. Celebrate summer art and hang up a few pieces of seasonal art before it arrives. We have made a list of a few summer art decorating tips to help you get started. They will help you create a sunny space within the home or office that is just too beautiful to ignore.
Do remember that summer is all about color. Choose artwork that brings bursts of color into the room. Summer is full of color from fields of bright yellow sunflowers with there deep green stems to orange red sunsets over the calm beach. These colorful scenes and more are portrayed in art. Not only does summer colored art brighten a room, but it also brings summer vacation memories due to the vibrant colors. Memories of vacation days gone by or those yet to come.
Canvas finishes are a great option for beach artwork. Brushstrokes give plain artwork texture and dimension. This is great for beach scenes because it makes the waves and sand come to life. If you would rather a frame finish, don’t forget to select mats, glazing options and frames that not only compliment the seasonal art but are tough enough to stand up to the sun too. After all, chances are high that you’ll be letting some natural sunlight filter into your home or business during the bright months ahead.
Do remember that summer is also about living easy. So, try to keep those frame and mat selections simple as well. Choose unpretentious patterns or stick with plain frames and single mats. Save the intricate, heavy pieces for the fall and winter.
Don’t skip over summer themes that may not immediately align with traditional, seasonal design schemes. We have found that there is something to be said for hanging summer art that fuels the imagination. Let’s take Panoramic Images’ print, Woman and High Heels on Beach as an example.

If you're one of the many who favors sitting in the golden sun and hearing the waves crash against the sand rather than ice covered roads and freezing temperatures, you're probably dreading these next couple weeks as summer is changing to fall. Instead of counting down the long days until next summer, create summer in your home to help you last through these cold seasons. There's nothing quite like coming in from a cold blistery drive to a warm house with summer paintings and colors to bring you back to the warm summer ambiance.
Creating a summer atmosphere for your home is easier think whether you like summer wildlife, beaches, fields, or gardens best. The first step to creating a winter long summer is to figure out which scene you like the most. Let's say summer beach art is your favorite for example. Here are some tips to decorating for the winter with beach art.
Ask yourself, what color of beach art would compliment the color of your room. If your walls are a neutral color, you may want to go for beach paintings that are full of color and life. Keep in mind not only the art you like, but how it will look on your walls if they are a bright color. Winter is a season that is usually associated with dark colors so don't be afraid to go out of the box and be a little daring with bright oranges and blues.
If you are someone that needs more than just a pop of color to make thing exciting, try looking for dolphin figurines or even drape a fisherman's net above the mirror to create a tropical vibe to your beach and ocean scheme. Depending on the room can help you with unleashing your creative streak and really go all out with the decor.
