How to Bring Summer Vibes Into Your Home

If you want to evoke a fresh, summer outdoor vibe in your home — we don’t blame you. This season is packed with water activities, memorable vacations, and visits from loved ones. It's the perfect time to bring that energy indoors and make your home smell like summer.

To create that summer feeling, we recommend starting with at least one main room in your home. Rearrange the furniture, move around your frames and decorations — even small changes can signal a seasonal shift. Bring in wall art, pillows, and décor with bright, bold colors like yellow, green, blue, and teal. These tones will instantly create a cool, eye-catching look.

Of course, we also recommend lighting candles with fresh, ocean-inspired scents. Anything that transports you to the sea or a beautiful beach will do the trick. At Port of Joy, we use certified clean fragrance oils designed to enhance your space and lift your mood.

Part of our summer candle collection 2025 includes: Brazil País Tropical, our best-seller Bali Lemongrass, Maldives Bungalow, and Hawaiian Volcano. Each scent offers a unique tone, but all bring a summer vibe that’s hard to forget.
