My 2024 New Summer Home Decor Lemons “Theme”: What I’m Doing, How I’m Doing It, and Why I’m Doing It

I’m not someone who likes to follow trends unless they work for me. This is especially true when it comes to home decor. I like what I like and if I spend quite a bit of money to surround myself with these things, I want to keep them for a long time. This is why choosing a new “theme” for this year’s home decor was abnormal for me. Especially since the them is lemons!

Yes, you read that right. My new theme is lemons. I don’t want to have lemons all over the house, but I do what a fake lemon plant and a new summer wreath with lemons on it. I need a new wreath anyway, so getting one with lemons sounded logical.

The reason why I decided to add lemon decor around my house is based off my intention of adding more yellow in my spring and summer decor. I don’t like yellow, but last year wasn’t easy on me for many reasons. Yet, seeing something colored yellow randomly popping up cheered me up. This meant a lot to me and helped lift my spirits. This also began to make me wonder why I don’t have more yellow colored things in my life.

I don’t look good in yellow, so wearing clothing in a shade of yellow was not logical. Instead, I decided to focus on adding more yellow colored home decor pieces around my home. Last year, I didn’t get very far. I added some new fake sunflower arrangements to my house and that was it.

Since I’m not a natural fan of yellow, I realized how hard it is for me to find yellow home decor pieces I like. So, the sunflowers became the only yellow in my home. This year, I decided to change that.

I wanted to grow citrus trees for years, but I never had the chance to do it. This year, I decided to ignore my desires to grow citrus trees and instead focus on other plants. Yet, seeing these trees in the garden department has been a hard temptation to ignore! One day, while looking a some lemon trees, it dawned on me to combine the two things I want the most, yellow home decor and lemon trees, into some indoor home decor I can use through the summer months.

So far the only lemon themed decor I currently own are a fake lemon tree from Walmart and a lemon wreath I purchased from Amazon. As of right now I am no longer looking for any more home decor, but I am eyeing a “When Life Gives You Lemons… “ sign. Other than that, I’m happy with my lemon home decor collection!

All the pieces I own look good with all the others. I wish I had a more cohesive look to my decor, but, despite the fact they don’t match, they still somehow work together. I don’t know how, but it does to my eyes.

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
