Yesss, summer decor season is officially on and I couldn’t resist popping into HomeGoods to see what was new. This summer, HomeGoods is overflowing with playful patterns, breezy neutrals, and the kind of little details that make your space feel like a mini escape. I found a mix of charming tabletop pieces, cozy textiles, and a few unexpected gems that immediately earned a spot in my home. I’ve got photos of everything I grabbed, and I’m breaking down exactly why each one deserves a spot in your summer setup.
Strawberry Woven Basket ($19.99)
Okay, how cute is this? For $19.99, this strawberry-shaped basket instantly brightened up my cart. The vibrant red and white woven base mimics the texture of a real berry, while the bright green stem and leaves up top give it an extra playful pop. It’s sturdy but lightweight, with a glossy green metal handle that arches over the top like a picnic basket.
You could use it to hold summer fruit (because duh), but it would also be adorable as a table centerpiece with napkins, little pastries, or even tea towels rolled up inside.
Disco Mushroom Garden Statue ($29.99)
This little guy sparkles. For $29.99, this disco mushroom is easily one of my favorite finds from the trip. The top is covered in mirrored tiles that catch the light in the most magical way, and the white textured stem gives it a whimsical woodland feel. You could absolutely pop this in a planter on your patio for a cheeky outdoor moment, or even style it indoors on a shelf or side table if you’re feeling bold.
Ceramic Margarita Decor with Lime Detail ($14.99)
This margarita-shaped piece for $14.99 is the kind of kitschy-cute decor that makes summer styling so fun. I mean… just look at it! The swirled “drink” surface, complete with floating daisy-like flowers and a glossy lime wedge, looks good enough to sip.
Faux Strawberry Plant in Ceramic Pot ($16.99)
I mean… tell me this isn’t the cutest way to sneak a little greenery into your summer setup. For $16.99, this faux strawberry plant checks every box: it’s bright, bold, playful, and zero maintenance (my kind of plant). The glossy ceramic base is shaped like an oversized strawberry, with those classic seeded dimples and a juicy red finish that totally pops on a shelf or counter.
The faux leaves have a really nice texture, too; each one is veined with subtle yellow detailing that makes it feel a bit more lifelike. It’s a perfect seasonal swap for wherever your space could use a little cheer without needing sunlight or a watering schedule.
Melamine Strawberry Serving Bowl ($5.99)
This bright red strawberry bowl was a total no-brainer for $5.99. Made of durable melamine, it’s super lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap at all, which makes it perfect for outdoor dining or casual snacks around the house. It’s roomy enough to hold chips, fruit, or even serve as a catchall for little odds and ends.
Ceramic Strawberry Bunny Vase ($16.99)
Okay, this one is pure whimsy. For $16.99, this ceramic bunny vase dressed as a strawberry was an instant yes for me. It’s sculpted with a chubby little silhouette, complete with a leafy green collar and seed-like texture all over the bright red glaze. It’s technically a vase, but you could use it more like a quirky decorative accent on a side table. You could definitely pop in a small bunch of faux florals (like the ones styled in-store), or even use it to hold stir sticks or utensils at a summer party.
Floral Stemmed Goblets ($4.99 each)
These $4.99 flower-stemmed goblets were one of those “toss-in-the-cart” moments I didn’t even hesitate on. The base of each glass is shaped like a clear daisy with delicate petals, and the green stem and leaf details give it this fun, garden-party energy that just feels perfect for summer drinks. They’re made of a thick, sturdy plastic, so they’re ideal for outdoor use (especially if you have clumsy friends, ha).
Ceramic Strawberry Jar ($9.99) and The Strawberry Collection Salt & Pepper Shakers ($12.99)
There’s something so charming about this ceramic strawberry jar, and at just $9.99, it was an easy yes. The bold red glaze, dainty black seeds, and bright green leafy lid give it that classic fruit-inspired look, but it still manages to feel timeless and clean, not overly cutesy. The lid fits snugly and makes it great for stashing sugar, tea bags, wrapped candies, or even cotton pads in a bathroom.
Right beside it are these little blushing strawberries on a matching tray, which were too sweet to pass up, especially for $12.99. They’re part of “The Strawberry Collection” (yes, it’s a thing!), and the soft pinkish-red finish makes them feel a little more vintage-inspired than some of the brighter red pieces.
Strawberry Teapot-for-One Set ($12.99)
I audibly whispered “how cute” in the aisle when I saw this for $12.99. This mini teapot set includes a teacup, saucer, and pot all stacked into one little strawberry-patterned tower. The delicate vines, blossoms, and bright red berries give it a vintage English garden vibe, and the crisp white background makes everything feel light and fresh. The pot is glass, so you can see your tea brewing, while the porcelain cup and saucer are covered in the same dainty print.
Sculpted Gold & Blush Tulip Vase ($29.99)
This $29.99 vase is a total showstopper. The sculpted petal-like shape, soft ombré fade from blush to mint, and that brushed metallic gold top is chef’s kiss. It’s giving upscale botanical without trying too hard, instantly adding a little luxe energy to any corner of the room. The finish has a soft sheen that catches the light beautifully, and the form itself feels organic, almost like a blooming tulip. This feels like the kind of decor you’d see in a boutique hotel lobby, but it’s right at home in my apartment (and way more affordable).
Gold Embossed Pedestal Bowl ($12.99)
For $12.99, this handcrafted gold pedestal bowl instantly brings that “collected and curated” feel to a space. It features detailed embossing all over the interior and base. The scalloped and leaf-like patterns add such rich texture. The slightly flared lip gives it a refined profile, and the height makes it perfect for layering into a styled shelf or table vignette. It’s solid but not heavy, and the gold has a soft satin finish that doesn’t feel too flashy.
Ceramic Ice Cream Container with Sprinkles ($6.99)
This ceramic container looks exactly like a scoop of strawberry ice cream, complete with a cherry on top and rainbow sprinkles. It’s small enough to be practical, but bold enough to stand out in a kitchen or on a shelf. The glossy finish gives it a candy-coated shine, and the lid lifts off easily for tucking away little treats, sugar packets, or even rubber bands.
Hand-Painted Floral Hen Decor ($12.99)
For $12.99, this sweet little hen brought just the right touch of farmhouse charm to my cart. The hand-painted floral details all over her body feel soft and rustic, and the distressed finish gives her an almost antique vibe.
Blue Vintage-Style Goblets ($4.99 each)
At $4.99 a piece, these blue goblets feel like a major score. The rich cobalt tone is striking in person. Deep but still translucent enough to catch the light beautifully, and the embossed patterns vary just slightly between styles, which I love. One has a diamond lattice motif with hearts, while the other has a floral garland draped around the bowl, both giving strong vintage-glassware energy.
Pineapple-Shaped Serving Board Set by Coco + Lola
This Coco + Lola serving set is basically summer entertaining in a box. The set includes a pineapple-shaped cutting board (with a carved wood top and sleek marble bottom), a little wood-handled spreader, and five gold pineapple-topped picks, all perfectly coordinated and packaged up like a hostess’ dream.
Ceramic Corn Cob Table
Let’s just say it: this ceramic corn table is a whole moment. Bright, glossy, and unapologetically shaped like a giant ear of corn, it’s easily one of the most playful pieces I’ve found. The vivid yellow glaze and raised kernel texture make it feel almost cartoonishly realistic (in the best way), and it has serious novelty appeal while still being super functional.
Angel Statues Under Mushroom Garden Sculpture ($69.99)
This dreamy garden statue for $69.99 feels like something out of a woodland fairytale. Sculpted entirely in matte white stone-like resin, it features two serene cherub-like figures resting beneath a towering mushroom cap. The texture is smooth and soft to the eye, and the minimal finish lets the gentle details, like their curled toes and folded wings, really shine.
Blue and White Mosaic Accent Table
This mosaic table is such a visual treat, I kept circling back to it in the aisle until I finally said, “Yep, it’s coming home.” The surface is completely covered in tiny rectangular tiles arranged in a radial pattern on top and vertical stripes down the sides. The mix of deep ocean blue and soft white gives it that breezy coastal vibe.
It’s surprisingly versatile too. The finish has a subtle sheen that catches light beautifully, and it feels solid and well-crafted, not wobbly or hollow like some mosaic pieces can be. If you want something functional and artful, this one’s a gem.
Curved Bamboo-Style Lounge Chair with Cushions ($249.99)
This chair was definitely my splurge item at $249.99, but it was totally worth it. The rounded, open-frame design gives it that dreamy vacation-lounge feel, like something you’d find on a tropical resort patio. The bamboo-style frame is super sturdy with a smooth honey finish that pairs perfectly with the cream cushions (which are included and surprisingly plush!).
What sold me was the mix of structure and softness, the curved arms and open back feel modern but still laid-back. If you want to elevate your outdoor or indoor chill zone, this is the perfect in-between piece: not too rustic, not too polished, just right.
Blue Glass Lamp with Peacock Feather Shade ($12.99)
This $12.99 lamp is giving major boutique energy for a fraction of the price. The base is made of deep blue glass with sculpted ridges that catch the light in a really pretty way, like ripples in a pond. But let’s be honest, it’s the shade that steals the show: a soft fabric printed with stylized peacock feather motifs in muted blues and golds, with just enough pattern to add interest without clashing. It’s compact enough for a nightstand or entryway table, and I love how the whole piece feels playful but still elegant.
Feather Globe Tripod Lamp ($59.99)
This $59.99 feather lamp is pure drama in the most ethereal, floaty way. The shade is made entirely of soft white feathers that form a glowing orb when lit, creating this diffused, dreamy light that feels like something out of a fashion showroom. It sits atop a sleek, matte gold tripod base that adds just enough contrast to balance all that fluff. It’s definitely a statement piece.
Faux Philodendron in Woven Planter ($179.99)
If you want that lush, tropical look without the weekly watering and light drama, this faux philodendron is so worth the $179.99. It’s impressively tall and full, with multi-tonal leaves that look surprisingly real, even up close. The leaf shapes are varied and slightly imperfect in a way that actually mimics the real plant, which totally sold me.
Nautica Adjustable Metal Floor Fan ($59.99)
Who knew a fan could be this stylish? This Nautica floor fan was $59.99 and looks way more designer than functional, but surprise, it does both. The brass and black finish gives it a vintage industrial vibe, and the circular grill design feels almost sculptural. I love that the whole thing sits on a slim black pole with an adjustable height, so it doesn’t take up visual clutter like bulkier fans tend to do. It has a retro switch on the back with two speeds and a surprisingly strong breeze.
Charlotte Posner Planter Set with Tray ($12.99)
For just $12.99, this trio of enamel-style planters from Charlotte Posner might be my favorite little find. Each one is wrapped in her signature whimsical illustrations, delicate floral clusters, and colorful insects, all lined up like they’re ready to party in your kitchen.
The pots come nestled in a matching tray, which makes them feel super tidy and giftable (even if you’re just gifting yourself). They’re the perfect size for herbs, succulents, or even as a stylish catch-all for spoons or desk supplies.
Nautica Retro-Style Table Fan ($24.99)
This little $24.99 fan is small but mighty—and seriously adorable. From Nautica Home, it features a brushed brass grille and deep forest green frame that gives total vintage vibes. It has those curved legs that almost make it look like a mid-century radio, and I love that it doesn’t scream “appliance.”
Handcrafted Terracotta Pup
I couldn’t resist this little guy! This handcrafted dog statue from Vietnam has the most charming, sleepy expression, like he’s been sunbathing all afternoon. Made of raw terracotta with a perfectly weathered finish, he brings a touch of earthy, artisan charm to any shelf or garden nook.
Green Vibes Bird Bath ($49.99)
This $49.99 metal bird bath looks like aged bronze with a flower-petal bowl and a tiny bird perched on the rim. The base has ornate, antique-style feet, and the whole piece is surprisingly lightweight for something that looks this substantial. It’s one of those pieces that instantly upgrades a patio corner or garden path.
Colorful Striped Outdoor Pouf ($39.99)
This $39.99 striped outdoor pouf instantly brightened up my mood—and the shelf it was sitting on! The mix of punchy oranges, grassy greens, and ocean blues in crisp, woven texture just screams “fun backyard energy.” It’s generously sized and has that perfect cube shape that works equally well as extra seating or a casual ottoman.
The fabric has a thick, sturdy weave that feels like it’s built for sunshine, sandals, and summer snacks. I’d throw this in a corner of the patio with a coordinating umbrella or let it hang out poolside for a playful touch.
Iridescent Blue-Rim Glass Pitcher ($9.99)
Okay, this $9.99 pitcher had me swooning in the aisle. The glass has that beautifully wavy, hand-blown look with a hint of texture, and the subtle purple-blue rim adds the perfect touch of dreamy color. I could see this out on a summer table filled with lemonade or cucumber water, catching sunlight and casting those little ripples of light across the table (you know the vibe).
It’s a good medium size, plenty roomy without being heavy or bulky, and that handle is thick and comfortable to grip. Honestly, I wouldn’t just save it for parties; I’d leave it out with some fresh flowers or eucalyptus to give the kitchen a soft pop.
C&C California Sangria Recipe Pitcher ($14.99)
This sangria pitcher from C&C California is such a fun and functional find for just $14.99. The entire recipe is printed right on the front—complete with cute illustrations of apple slices, citrus wedges, and a bold splash of “SANGRIA” text that makes it feel like summer in a cup. It’s made of durable BPA-free plastic, so it’s great for outdoor use (picnic tables, pool decks, and patio bar carts included).
I really appreciate that it’s lightweight but doesn’t feel flimsy at all. And if you’re hosting, it kind of doubles as a conversation starter. I can totally see guests reading it as they pour themselves a glass.
Flashpoint Ceramic Meyer Lemon Container ($9.99)
This ceramic Meyer lemon container caught my eye instantly, and at just $9.99, it’s such a happy little find. The container is shaped like a bundle of lemons, each one individually molded with dimpled textures and glazed to a juicy, high-shine finish. Little green leaves are tucked between the lemons, adding extra detail that makes it feel playful but still polished.
Martha Stewart Country Strawberry Candle ($9.99)
This candle is straight-up dessert cosplay, and I’m all in. For $9.99, you get what looks like a miniature strawberry sundae, complete with dollops of whipped cream, vibrant faux strawberries, and a scattering of pastel sprinkles. The bowl has a textured waffle-cone pattern that’s honestly adorable and surprisingly detailed.
It’s labeled as “Country Strawberry,” and while I didn’t sniff-test it myself, I imagine it leans sweet and fruity, like strawberries-and-cream in candle form. This would be so cute on a vanity or in a guest bathroom, and it’d make such a fun gift if you’re building a themed basket.
Mikasa Meadow Series Mug ($5.99)
These Mikasa mugs caught my eye instantly with their wildflower field design—subtle but just bright enough to feel cheerful with every sip. At $5.99 each, they’re a sweet little upgrade from my usual mismatched mugs. The floral pattern looks like watercolor brushwork, with delicate red poppies, soft gold stalks, and muted green stems, all wrapped around the clean white ceramic. They feel light in hand but solid enough for daily coffee or tea, and the curve of the handle is super comfortable.
Fit + Fresh Soft-Side Cooler Bag ($24.99)
This fit + fresh soft-side cooler immediately caught my eye with its cheerful produce print and summery vibes, and for $24.99, it’s both fun and functional. The playful pattern includes everything from cherry tomatoes and lemon wedges to pasta and oysters on blue china, like a Mediterranean picnic packed into a bag. It’s got navy blue straps and trim that give it a polished look, and I love the easy-to-clean exterior (that little sticker makes it official!).
The front zipper pocket is perfect for napkins or utensils, and the main compartment has a solid shape and depth that looks like it can handle more than just a couple of sandwiches.
Silicone Hot Dog Trays – Set of 4 ($6.99)
Okay, how fun are these? This set of four silicone hot dog trays instantly made me think of summer barbecues and backyard movie nights. Priced at just $6.99, they’re shaped like scalloped-edge platters, perfectly sized to cradle a fully loaded hot dog (with room for some extra ketchup if you’re like me).
Daisy Rimmed Dinner Plate ($4.99)
This daisy-rimmed plate is pure sunshine, and it’s only $4.99. The rim is completely covered in raised white daisies with sunny yellow centers, giving it that sweet, cottagecore charm. The blue textured center has a denim-like look that makes the flowers pop even more.
It’s the kind of piece that would instantly brighten any brunch table. I’d mix this into a summer tablescape with gingham napkins and fresh lemonade, no special occasion needed.
Pink & Orange Swirl Goblet Set ($3.99 each)
How fun are these?! For just $3.99 each, these pink and orange swirl goblets are giving serious summer punch bowl energy. The marbled design features playful washes of magenta, peach, and golden yellow that look like melted popsicles in the best way. Each cup has a translucent finish that catches the light beautifully, almost like stained glass, but totally casual. The acrylic material makes them perfect for picnics or patio hangs (they’re lightweight but feel sturdy in hand).
Strawberry & Blossom Tumblers ($7.99)
These $7.99 tumblers are such a cheerful way to sip anything from lemonade to iced coffee. Each cup is wrapped in the sweetest print of ripe strawberries and delicate pink flowers, giving them a full-on cottagecore-meets-summer-picnic vibe. I love how the illustrations wrap all the way around the clear acrylic. It makes them feel extra fun without being too busy.
These would look adorable stacked on an open shelf or set out at a casual garden lunch. I’d definitely grab these if you’re planning any kind of outdoor entertaining. They’re lightweight, durable, and just plain happy to look at.
Strawberry-Shaped Bowl by House & Garden ($5.99)
This glossy red strawberry bowl ($5.99) is basically sunshine in dishware form. Molded into a plump heart shape and finished with embossed seed details, it’s the kind of piece that doesn’t just hold snacks but also starts conversations. It’s lightweight, but not flimsy, made by House & Garden, which I’ve seen a few times when browsing seasonal pieces. I immediately thought this would be perfect for a summer party table or even as a quirky catch-all bowl by the door.
Heron Garden Sculpture Duo ($199.99)
These majestic herons completely captivated me in person, and yes, they’re just as striking at $199.99. Cast in a weathered green-gray finish, the detailing on the feathers, beaks, and that rocky base gives the entire sculpture serious art gallery vibes. I love how their necks curve together, giving off a subtle heart shape if you look closely.
The texture is matte and earthy, which makes it feel right at home outdoors, yet refined enough for a breezy indoor sunroom or entryway moment. If you’re someone who loves a bold focal point in your garden or patio setup, this would absolutely be it.
Speckled Garden Dragon Statue ($59.99)
Okay, I couldn’t walk past this little guy without smiling. Priced at $59.99, this speckled garden dragon has the most endearing expression, somewhere between proud and completely mischievous. Its speckled white ceramic-like finish makes it feel modern, but the whimsical design gives it fairytale charm.
I love the etched texture across the body and wings. It adds a hand-sculpted feel that makes it look like a one-off piece from a garden artisan. I’d totally tuck this into a cluster of potted plants or even perch it near a front stoop. It’s sturdy enough to stand out but playful enough to invite curiosity. I might even name mine.
Cat Face Planter – Ceramic Cutie ($12.99)
This speckled ceramic planter ($12.99) instantly made me smile. Designed to resemble a calm little cat with closed eyes and a heart-shaped nose, it brings a gentle charm to any shelf or windowsill. The surface has a lightly textured finish that gives it a weathered stone vibe, but it still feels playful thanks to the bold black ears and whiskers.
Pineapple Rattan Planter – Tropical Vibes for $19.99
I couldn’t walk past this without grinning. It’s a planter shaped like a pineapple! For $19.99, this vibrant woven piece brings major summer energy with its sunny yellow basket body and teal “leaf” accents. The top is filled with faux greenery, but if you’re crafty, you could even swap in your own stems to mix it up. The woven rattan texture gives it a beachy, tiki-bar feel, and I love how it adds instant cheer to a space. It’s super lightweight, so moving it around is a breeze.
Set of 4 Wooden Pinch Bowls – Minimalist Warmth for $9.99
This $9.99 set of wooden pinch bowls is one of those quiet little gems that just fit into any kitchen vibe. Each bowl is beautifully smooth with a warm, natural finish that makes even salt or chopped herbs look elevated. They’re bundled together in a simple kraft paper sleeve, which adds to their earthy, understated charm.
