Today I’m sharing some quick and easy ways to bring a gorgeous summer look to your entryway. If you’re new to CitrineLiving, welcome! I recently made over our entryway this past winter in two days and a few small changes – some chalk paint on our console table – it was so easy to do – a new rug, and a mirror from our bedroom (see the full makeover here). It was a very inexpensive project that went far beyond the decorating dollars spent – now we have a gorgeous, bright and airy space that we love. With those few changes, we were able to get a brand new look in here. I always love a fabulous makeover, however, with each new season, it’s not very practical or realistic to redecorate your entire home. I love to swap out accessories and move things from room to room, or pull out some pieces from storage. In this case, I created a casual and elegant look in our entryway by adding two new accessories, and a few old favorites. With these simple decorating ideas, you can do the same in your home. *Affiliate links are provided throughout, or at the bottom of this post for your shopping convenience – see my full disclosure policy here.

A pair of glass hurricane lanterns, a coral sculpture and a few fresh florals in a white ginger jar were all I needed to up my summer game in here. So simple and now we have a gorgeous summer look in this space. The glass pieces keep the feeling from looking ‘over accessorized’ and they help to add an airy coastal feel as well. I purposely left them empty, since I have a candle in the large brass lantern, and I love the clean look they bring to the table. DECORATING TIP : Fill glass containers with light coloured rocks, shells, or any other natural element you love to bring in the season.
I love the beautiful hammered texture of this lantern. DECORATING TIP: Bring in different textures to create visual interest.
