There’s nothing quite like the fresh, effortless beauty of florals to set the tone for summer living. Whether you’re entertaining guests at your lakeside cottage or simply refreshing your urban abode for the warmer months, flower decoration is a powerful way to infuse your space with seasonal charm and sophisticated elegance.
From wild meadow-inspired bouquets to refined monochromatic displays, florals breathe life into any room—and the right arrangement can transform a house into a haven. In this Floral Perspective article, we share our top tips for using flowers to enhance your home or cottage this summer, along with inspiration from our Spring/Summer Collection, designed to help you capture the magic of the season.
Summer Flower Decoration Tips:
1. Start with a Statement Entry
First impressions matter. Elevate your entryway or front hall with a bold, welcoming floral arrangement that introduces your home’s summer palette. Consider something tall and fragrant, with lilies, hydrangeas, roses, or seasonal greenery. Aubé’s “CHER” arrangement was made for this moment—a stunning structural piece featuring tone-on-tone hydrangeas and roses for a norm-defying flair worthy of its namesake.
Pro tip: Use mirrored trays or ceramic pedestals to raise your arrangement for extra height and impact.
2. Embrace a Cottagecore Aesthetic
If your summer retreat leans rustic or romantic, play into the charm with loose, naturalistic floral designs. Think wildflowers, sweet peas, and Queen Anne’s lace arranged in hand-thrown ceramic vessels or vintage glass jars. Aubé’s “SOUND OF SILENCE” arrangement captures this aesthetic perfectly—unfussy, yet undeniably luxurious.
Pro tip: Use tactile textures like linen table runners, rattan accents, and antique wood to add depth to your flower decoration and create an inviting, lived-in feel.
3. Create Moments of Beauty in Unexpected Places
Don’t limit your flower decoration to dining tables and mantels. A small bouquet in the powder room, a bud vase on the kitchen windowsill, or a cluster of florals on the bedside table can add surprising delight to your day.
Pro tip: Use a trio of mini arrangements to scatter floral moments throughout a space—ensure each one is composed with care, designed to charm, and has a consistent element to bring continuity to your space.
4. Play with Colour & Mood
Summer is the season to be bold—or serene. Use florals to shape the emotional landscape of your space. Cool whites and greens evoke calm and sophistication, while punchy pinks, corals, and golden yellows radiate joy and energy.

5. Order with Intention
Florals should be as intentional as any other element of your home décor. Choose arrangements that reflect the tone of your summer lifestyle—whether that’s slow breakfasts by the lake, alfresco dinners under twinkle lights, or quiet evenings with a book by the window.
Each piece in Aubé’s Spring/Summer Collection is made to order, using the freshest blooms and finest craftsmanship. When you select an Aubé Arrangement, you’re not just adding flowers to your home—you’re investing in beauty, artistry, and an elevated way of living.
