This is me every time we travel: no idea where we’re going, where we parked, or how we’re getting there 😂 I just grab my bag, follow my husband like a lost puppy, and hope for the best! Solo travel? Couldn’t be me, my anxiety would never allow it 😅 I’m proudly a passenger princess and he’s the human GPS. Balance, right? 😉✈️

Easy Summer Tablescape

Around this time of the year, I always struggle with my home decor. The Fourth of July is over so I don’t want anymore red, white, and blue out. And it’s technically too early to pull out my fall decor (I say technically because I think it’s never too early for fall since it’s my favorite. But I know I would be judged if I did pull out the pumpkins this early lol). So I was trying to come up with some ideas on how I could style an easy summer tablescape.

I wanted something that I could leave up until early September, because let’s be honest- that’s about as long as possible that I can wait before decking out everything in pumpkin spice! But I also didn’t want to spend a bunch of money because it really isn’t that much time until then.

I decided to do a lemon theme because I already had a few pieces and I thought I could be able to add a few more pieces for my summer tablescape easily without breaking the bank.

Lemon Summer Tablescape
Here is a view of my easy lemon summer tablescape!

Materials Needed for Easy Summer Tablescape:

  • Place Mats
  • Chargers
  • Dishes
  • Napkins
  • Table Runner
  • Decorative Lemons
  • Other Decorative Lemon Decor (Such as lemon trees, lemon garland, etc. See below for some cute lemon decor ideas!)

As you can see from the list above, the materials needed for this easy summer tablescape are all very basic and pieces you probably already have on hand. For the most part, I had everything on hand too, expect for the lemon pieces that I picked up from Target.

If you notice from my previous tablescapes (such as my Fall Tablescape from last year or my Valentine’s Day Tablescape from earlier this year), I tend to keep all my place settings the same and I just rotate the centerpieces and other simple touches out every season.

I find that doing this gives me the change I crave, but it doesn’t cost me a fortune because I am reusing all the pieces that I can.

I use the same wicker place mat and galvanized charger every tablescape that I set up, and then I change out the dishes and napkins as well when I feel like it.

I kept my vintage ironstone dishes and tea cups out for this tablescape because I think they just look so cute with the lemons!

Lemon Place Setting for Tablescape
Here is a close up of what each place setting looks like for my easy summer tablescape.

Setting Up The Tablescape

I try to keep my tablescapes nice and simple and stick to just a basic layout as I mentioned above. I use my burlap table runner most of the year (which is actually leftover wedding decor!) and then I stick a centerpiece right in the middle.

I usually use my big dough bowl, but since I got my new entryway table, I moved it there instead. So for now I just have a magnolia home galvanized metal tray as my centerpiece instead.

Easy Summer Tablescape
Shop my dining room look below:

I filled up the tray with garlands that I already had on hand and then I placed a few lemons here and there inside it.

Ultimately, I would love to find another dough bowl that way I could have one on my dining room table and one on my entryway table as well.

But, they are pretty pricey so I may just have to wait before diving into that!

Closeup of lemon centerpiece
Here is what the final product of my lemon themed centerpiece looks like!

Since the tray isn’t as long as the dough bowl was on my table, I decided to add a cute little lemon tree on each side of the tray to fill up the space.

I found the trees at the Target dollar spot and they also had the same ones but with oranges instead too. I think oranges or lemons or basically anything citrusy would work perfect for an easy summer tablescape!

Lemon themed tablescape

The base of the lemon trees are a nice light blue color, which matches my dinner napkins perfectly too! I also placed a faux lemon on every place setting on my tablescape as well.

So, that’s really all you need to create a super easy and simple summer tablescape that will last you all the way into fall. And I can’t wait for that!

How to Style an Easy Summer Tablescape
Pin for later!

What do y’all use for the transition between summer and fall as decor?! I would love to know below. I had also thought about doing sunflowers too, which I think would be very pretty, but I already had more lemon decor on hand.

And like I stated above, I did not want to spend a lot of money on this refresh! I hope I have given you all a few ideas on how to style an easy summer tablescape. If you’re looking for more summer decor options, check out my post on how to decorate your home for summer as well.

You can still go by with a few simple items :). I am learning a lot from these tablescape tutorials. Thanks for sharing!

    Oh wow, this is gorgeous, Charity! So summery and pretty. I’ve never thought about doing a tablescape before, we normally just have a vase of flowers from the garden. But this is much better, it lasts longer and citrus smells go better with food 🙂 Lisa x

      Thank you so much! I love doing tablescapes! But we also don’t sit at the table very often so that’s probably why. It’s a lot of work to move things over to eat sometimes lol

    Absolutely beautiful! I wish I could move to a bigger flat and buy proper furniture and a table like that. The one I have now isn’t really made for gatherings with setting it up nicely. But one day!

    I’ve never even heard of tablescaping before but this is beautiful and so creative. I love the lemons I think it makes it look so bright and cheery! Not going to lie, my table usually stays exactly the same all year round (apart from the mess that seems to get piled on top of it) wish I had the commitment to do this though! Thanks for the ideas x

      Awe thank you so much! I unfortunately don’t. These are vintage ironstone dishes. I found them at a local thrift shop and they were only like $1.50 a piece! So be sure to check some thrift shops that are local to you out if want to find a set like this!
