The Bold Color Combo That Gives You That Summer Feeling All Year Long

Whether you're a big fan of warm weather or prefer the colder temperatures, there is no denying that the bright and cheery colors of summer are unmatched. Winter taps into sadness and Seasonal Affective Disorder, yet summer makes you want to get out of the house to see the lush greenery. So, why not utilize the colors of summer to your advantage with a bold trio of hues that will give you that vibrant feeling all year long? Nail the summery vibe by mixing select shades of blue, orange, and green.

In the winter months when you're stuck inside the house, you may crave the energy of summer. That's where adding these colors around you comes in handy. You can do this in so many different ways — from adding plants in bright greens and pots in coastal blues to getting a pop of tangerine with a decorative item. To really get the wow factor, paint your walls too, for that perfect "heading to the beach" color combination.

Finding a great color combination reminiscent of summer involves understanding how colors work together. You're not just picking out random warm weather colors and hoping for the best. Using the color wheel is the best way to find your perfect color palette. From there, it's a dive into the fusion of these three colors that makes them feel summery to you. When you think of summer, you may envision turquoise waves lapping on the shore, orange popsicles dripping down your fingers, and the green fronds of palm trees swaying in a light breeze. So pull those colors out of your mind and add them into your spaces for a fun and exciting atmosphere.

Maybe you envision more of a "relaxing in a hammock" color combo. In that case, the baby blues of an early morning sky paired with creamy cantaloupe orange and pulled together with mossy green could be what you need to carry you through when summer fades away outside. Whatever summer means to you, this trio is peak season perfect to warm your space up.

The possibilities are endless with decor — a capri blanket draped over the shoulders of your neutral colored chair, area rugs that make your floor pop, and plants in varying shades of green can go a long way in making your space cohesive. Channel the blue of the sky on a bright day in your airy linen drapes. Envision a mandarin orange when picking out plant pots to put on a wooden coffee table and pillows to toss on your navy velvet couch. The leafy green of a split-leaf philodendron (Monstera deliciosa) sitting by a sunny window is sure to invite summery feelings.

Various shades of blue, orange, and green live freely outdoors in the summer. So, bringing nature indoors with floral and plant patterns is another great way to make this color combination work in your favor for year-long bliss. Bucolic wallpaper is a trendy way to bring the outdoors inside and to embolden your bathroom. Using it for an accent wall in your living room and going crazy with incorporating trendy home decor ideas is another way to liven up your summer-inspired space. If you're feeling really bold and want to knock it out of the park, skipping wallpaper and creating an accent mural wall with all you love about summer in these colors could be just the ticket.
