Palm Springs Summer Home — Whimsical Color Meets Mid-Century Cool
If summer had a signature style, it might just be Palm Springs. This collection was inspired by the glamorous leisure of mid-century pool parties, romantic hues from my recent Bridgerton binge, and the kind of cheeky vintage details that make a space feel like a vacation.
With pastel palettes, curvy silhouettes, and just the right dose of nostalgia, our Palm Springs Summer Home picks are designed to turn your patio or poolside lounge into a playful, photo-worthy escape.
A Palm Springs Welcome:
The party starts at the front door. This playful alligator doormat sets the tone for our Palm Springs Summer Home style—bold, cheeky, and unapologetically fun. Think retro glam, candy-colored accents, and a space that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
What Defines the Palm Springs Look?
This style is all about joyful expression. Think retro resort meets modern color story—with a focus on personality, pattern, and playful form.
Key elements include:
Bright colors and soft pastels (lime, blush, mint, lemon, aqua)
Vintage-inspired furniture with French café or mid-century flair
Whimsical outdoor accessories that surprise and delight
Curved silhouettes, sculptural pieces, and glass accents
3 Standout Picks from Our Palm Springs Collection
1. Anthropologie Striped Woven Bistro Chairs (Set of 2, Lime)
These café-style chairs bring European charm and punchy color to your outdoor dining area. The woven pattern in citrusy lime makes a bold statement, while the curved back and aluminum frame keep things light, stackable, and patio-friendly.
2. Anthropologie Penelope Round Indoor/Outdoor Dining Table (Light Green)
With its powder-coated base and soft green hue, this table feels sculptural and romantic—like it was plucked from a pastel dream. The rounded profile makes it perfect for intimate outdoor dining and layered garden styling.
3. Anthropologie Glass Hummingbird Feeder
A delicate addition with big personality, this glass feeder adds elegance and function. The jewel-like form catches sunlight beautifully and invites nature right into your curated space. It’s the kind of detail that elevates the whole experience.
Styling Palm Springs in the Desert (Yes, Even Phoenix)
Palm Springs and Phoenix may be in different states, but they share a love of sun, style, and swimming pools. To bring this look to life in our climate:
Use fade-resistant finishes on brightly colored pieces to maintain vibrancy
Pair pastel furniture with white or terrazzo-style pavers for a crisp backdrop
Add potted palms or sculptural succulents for that lush, retro resort feel
Embrace patterned textiles and curvy silhouettes to soften the hardscape
This style thrives on personality and intention—it’s about crafting a space that feels fun, slightly over-the-top, and completely lived-in.
