Summer Home Trend Spotlight: Lavender Girl Summer

This summer, we’re trading hot pink for soft lilac, loud prints for airy layers, and sharp lines for natural flow. Say hello to Lavender Girl Summer—the interior trend coined by BHG that’s as calming as it is captivating. We're loving it for this summer because it feels like a breath of fresh air. It reminds us of early summer days with the breeze blowing in through open windows, those magical moments before you have to crank up the AC.

Think gauzy curtains, vintage florals, muted purples, and cozy thrifted charm. It’s minimalist meets cottagecore, with a modern twist—and it’s taking over Instagram, Pinterest, and probably your best friend’s living room. It feels calming and romantic and is easy to incorporate with various summer house styles.

If you’re craving a dreamy, relaxed space this season, here’s how to bring the Lavender Girl Summer house style into your home. We've even found the best deals on the most whimsical summery furniture and decor on Spoken.

What Is Lavender Girl Summer Style?

Lavender Girl Summer is a soft, feminine design trend inspired by muted purples, calming neutrals, and nostalgic touches. It feels whimsical, inviting, and even a little rustic. It's not fussy. In fact, if you're drawn to this style, you may enjoy tending to the lavender and other hardy plants in your garden.

We were drawn to this style because it feels so summery and almost effortless. It accomplishes this by blending:

• Lavender and lilac tones (obviously!)
• Natural wood and white accents
• Vintage or thrifted decor (like lace-trimmed linens or floral prints)
• Airy materials like linen, gauze, and cotton
• Botanical and floral elements

It's part French countryside, part minimalist, part TikTok fairy tale—a style that decorators of all ages can interpret and adapt in various interesting ways. How will you channel your inner lavender girl this summer?

Lavender Girl Decor Staples (and Where to Find Them for Less)

Ready to turn your space into a dreamy summer haven? While you don't want to take lavender girl summer too literally, you can add slight touches of various purples or even a bouquet of lavender to your space. It is possible to overdo it, so be mindful regarding your use of lavender and lilac hues. Here are some must-have pieces to complete the look, complete with links to shop the styles on Spoken:

1. A Dreamy Lavender Sofa or Accent Chair

A muted purple loveseat or velvet accent chair instantly becomes the centerpiece of a lavender girl summer home space. Check for dupes and price drops across retailers on Spoken before you splurge.

2. Linen Bedding in Soft Lilac or Cream

It's breathable, romantic, and totally cottagecore. Layer lavender sheets with neutral throws or vintage quilts for the full effect.

3. Light Wood or Whitewashed Furniture

Opt for Scandinavian-style wood tones or painted white dressers and tables to add to the soft and earthy feel. Whitewash wicker chairs and tables would be ideal for this style.

4. Delicate, Feminine Lighting

Look for glass or floral lamps, ceramic sconces, or thrifted crystal chandeliers. Spoken can help you find similar styles at drastically different prices. Tiffany style table lamps offer lovely lighting for lavender girl summer—and beyond. They're super popular right now, and you can save hundreds of dollars shopping for a Tiffany style lamp on Spoken.

5. Botanical Wall Art and Thrifted Frames

Pressed flower art, wildflower sketches, or moody vintage paintings in mismatched gold frames? Yes please. If you enjoy creating or have an artistic bent, this summer is your opportunity to create your own artwork for your home and hang it up inside a thrifted frame. It'll be a sweet memento of your lavender girl summer.

Layer in Texture and Personality

What really makes this style feel magical is the layering of textures and a storybook vibe. Mix gauzy curtains with a crocheted throw. Add a handmade ceramic mug to your side table. Let your space feel lived-in and loved.

Bonus: Thrifted and secondhand furniture and decor are a key part of this trend, making it more sustainable and budget-friendly. Win-win!

If you find a new piece you love on Spoken, great! If you find the perfect summer home piece secondhand, even better. We love finding used furniture online or in local thrift stores. There are so many well-loved furniture items waiting to become the main character of your lavender girl summer—besides you, of course!

Why We Love Lavender Girl Summer

It’s more than just a pretty palette—this trend is about slowing down, making intentional choices, and letting your space feel like a gentle exhale.

When summer rolls around, we all crave a home that feels just like the season itself—light, breezy, and effortlessly beautiful. Think sun-drenched rooms, airy fabrics, and pops of soft color that make every day feel like a mini getaway. Whether you're into lavender girl summer vibes, coastal chic, or cottagecore sweetness, summer decor should evoke warm weather ease, fresh floral energy, and that windows-wide-open kind of joy. It's about creating a space that feels cool, carefree, and full of light, where your favorite iced drink tastes better and your playlists sound brighter.

Lavender girl summer feels safe, slow, and supremely cozy. And isn’t that the energy we all want (and honestly need more of) this season?
