These sunshine-ready decor finds will bring Euro Summer vibes to your home – even if you're not going to the Amalfi Coast
Whether you're living La Dolce Vita or simply staying at home, these 15 home buys will bring European vibes to you
If you're even remotely present online, you'll know that the Euro Summer is taking over social media. And thanks to the sun-soaked beaches, bustling markets, vibrant produce, and charming architecture – it's not hard to see why we're all craving a little La Dolce Vita in our lives.
If Euro travel isn't on your agenda this summer, the good news is you can still live the aesthetic by infusing your home with warm, inviting, sun-soaked vibes. With a few thoughtfully chosen (by me) decor accessories, you can transform your space into something that captures the essence of the Mediterranean, whether that's the French countryside or the Italian Riviera.
Thanks to trends like Amalficore and Siestacore (yes, that's TikTok-talk for Spanish-inspired design) the spirit of the Euro Summer is well and truly thriving. So, whether you're dreaming of the Greek Isles or the Mallorcan coastline, these sunshine-ready home decor finds will bring a slice of Europe straight to your doorstep.
Here are my 15 favorite buys, selected for their ability to bring a vacation-like feel to your home every day, no passport required.
15 European Summer Home Decor Finds
It wouldn't be a Euro Summer without lemons, even if your destination is just the backyard. This set of 6 plastic lemons can be added to a vase or centerpiece to bring an ever-lasting touch of zest.
Inspired by handblown glass perfume bottles, Jonathan Adler's Venezia vase looks just like something you'd bring home from an island-hopping vacation in Greece. I love the bold cobalt details.
Nobody does resort-style outdoor furniture like Business & Pleasure Co. I love the scalloped wrought iron complete with a swivel side table for your cocktail. Bliss.
It’s always good to have a few pretty placemats on hand to take your tablescaping up a level. Woven rattan gives a breezy elegance to dinner and can be paired with floral dishware for a beautiful setting.
Bring the Tuscan hills to your home with a faux olive tree. I personally love these all year round, and since I managed to kill off my real one, I'll be ordering this one in a terracotta pot stat. No green thumb or watering required.
I might have been sleeping under a rock, but I didn't realize how good the edit of art is at Serena & Lily. Painted by artist Blakely Made, who looks to express the joy she gets from the coast, this is such a happy addition to your walls.
If you aren't already obsessed with Assouline's travel coffee books, it's time to get to know. With the most joyful, vibrant covers, you can create a stack of books to reflect places you have (or wish to) traveled to.
Bring a sense of French Provence style to your powder room or kitchen sink with these quirky handmade soaps on a grapevine. Alternatively, hang a bunch as a decoration scented with Neroli Amara.
If you're someone who is always reaching for the chili oil to add to your pasta or pizza, you'll appreciate this spicey side plate set from Aquazzura Casa. They'll make the perfect choice for recipes that pack a punch.
Hand-crafted in Italy with delicate twisted arms and a warm, glazed terracotta hue, this single bud vase from Sharland England via The Six Bells is a love letter to the past. Use it to decorate your shelves or table this summer.
Etsy does such great wall art prints like this La Dolce Vita illustration. I love the playful motifs like the frilly ravioli. Simply download and print.
Bring a coastal touch to the table with these lobster napkin rings. Handcrafted by skilled artisans, Serena & Lily's vacation-inspired napkin rings add a fun splash of color and whimsy to any gathering.
Made from melamine, these bounce-proof, dishwasher-safe plates from the Monique Lhuillier collection at Pottery Barn name the Amalficore vibe in one thanks to the delicate botanicals, bright lemons, and frilly edge.
