Guest Picks: Splashes of Watercolor for Summer
Vivid yet soothing, watercolor-inspired home decor is awash with liveliness — and totally on trend
The watercolor trend in design is gaining steam, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. The natural fluidity of watercolors gives the designs an organic and undulating feel. I think the look can easily fit into so many styles of decorating; it’s attainable and versatile. These designs feel fresh and lively, and perfectly embody spring and summer. — Ann Marie from Twice Lovely
Watercolor Giclée Print on Canvas
I love the vivid colors and undulating movement of this original watercolor giclée print from Black Crow Studios. It’s certainly what I would consider an investment piece, but what a statement it would make!
Woodland Garden Curtain
The gorgeous, vivid color on this shower curtain would be the perfect jumping-off point for a fun, kid-friendly bathroom.
Birch Print, Watercolor Geometrics
The walls are an obvious first stop if you're thinking of playing up the watercolor trend in your home. Floral watercolors are everywhere, but I love this geometric take from West Elm.
Floral Watercolor and Birch Wall Art
I’m drawn to more abstract, artistic interpretations of florals, especially in the watercolor medium. This otherworldly bouquet is stunning.
Watercolor Floral Toss Pillow
I'm a self-professed throw pillow addict. There's just no faster, easier or cheaper way to completely change a room. The loose watercolor floral print on this one is just lovely.
Mohawk Home Watercolor Floral Area Rug
Watercolor prints don’t always have to beat you over the head with bold color: Enter the monochrome look of this indigo-hued watercolor-look rug.

Target has some beautiful dinnerware sets right now, and this beautiful set is spot-on with the watercolor trend.
Room Essentials Floral Drinkware, Red, Set of 8
These tumblers are part of another gorgeous dinnerware set. The rest of the collection looks just as good!
Threshold Floral Lamp Shade, Large
This lamp shade has two of my favorite things: watercolor and poppies. It looks great on a high-gloss white base, but how about kicking it up a notch on a bright yellow or spring-green one?
