Repurpose mason jars as planters for an indoor herb garden. Fill each jar with potting soil and plant herb seeds or seedlings such as basil, mint or parsley. Then, place your herb garden on a sunny windowsill and enjoy fresh herbs all season long.
Use bold hues and coastal-inspired elements to create inviting spaces for social gatherings all summer long, both inside and outside. From tropical motifs to breezy textiles to bold colors, infuse your home with the energy of summer.

Create citronella candles to ward off mosquitoes during summer evenings. Melt soy wax flakes in a double boiler, then add citronella essential oil for fragrance and insect-repelling properties. Pour the melted wax into mason jars, adding a wick in the center. Allow the candles to cool and solidify before trimming the wick and lighting them for outdoor gatherings.
Transform ordinary mason jars into charming outdoor lanterns with the addition of solar-powered lights. Paint the outside of the jars with glass paint in decorative patterns. Insert solar lights into the jars and place them along pathways or on outdoor tables for ambient lighting during summer nights.
As temperatures cool, incorporate harvest-inspired elements like pumpkins, gourds and autumn leaves to welcome the new season. Get creative with these DIY projects to craft fall-themed decorations.
Create a fragrant potpourri blend by combining dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves and star anise in a decorative bowl. Add a few drops of pumpkin spice essential oil for an extra-cozy aroma.
Collect colorful leaves from your backyard or local park to make a festive fall leaf garland. Press the leaves between heavy books to flatten them, then attach them to a length of twine or string using hot glue or mini clothespins. Hang your leaf garland above a fireplace mantel or along a staircase railing to add a touch of autumnal charm to your home.
Winter brings a sense of coziness and celebration, reflected in festive colors and holiday motifs. Illuminate your space with lights and candles, creating a warm ambiance to shelter from the cold. Get creative with these DIY projects to craft winter-themed decorations.
Keep warm during the winter months by knitting or crocheting your own blankets. Choose soft, chunky yarn in winter white, icy blue or deep red hues. Not a knitter? Pick up a selection of chunky cable knit blankets instead and drape them over furniture for a cozy look.
Use scissors or a craft knife to cut snowflake shapes from white or iridescent craft foam. Attach the snowflakes to windows using a mixture of water and cornstarch, which acts as a temporary adhesive. Arrange the snowflakes in whimsical patterns to bring a touch of frosty charm indoors.
Enhance your seasonal decor to bring a fresh feel to your living space year-round. By incorporating seasonal colors, patterns and themed accents, you can create a welcoming home in every season.
A simple trick to bring the essence of the current season into your space is to add coordinating colors to brighten up your home.
Explore decor ideas that seamlessly transition between seasons with a quick theme change. For example, switch out scatter cushions or update items like a door wreath by adding mini pumpkins, eggs or snow-covered branches to easily update your home for the changing season. Or embrace simplicity and minimalism by focusing on timeless elements that complement any season so your home remains fresh and inviting year-round.
You can easily organize your home, including your seasonal decorations, by purchasing four large containers—one for each season. To minimize clutter, limit your shopping list to only those items that fit in the tubs.
Embrace the beauty of every season with simple decor transitions that ensure your home remains a welcoming sanctuary year-round.
