Summer couldn’t come soon enough. The bright, bold colors, the sunny weather, iced coffee on the porch… and of course, the perfect excuse to sprinkle sunflowers all over my home like it’s a happy little cottagecore dream.
I’ve always had a soft spot for sunflowers. Maybe it’s their cheerful yellow. Maybe it’s the way they turn toward the light. Or maybe… just maybe… it’s because they remind me of simpler days. Backyard picnics. Lemonade stands.
I found the cutest sunflower-themed decor pieces that I think you’ll love just as much as I do. Let’s go over 22 sunflower decor ideas I’m seriously swooning over.
Porch and Entryway Decor Ideas
Let’s start outside. I love decorating my porch for each season. Summer’s all about that bright, happy energy, and sunflowers do it best.
1. Sunflower Doormat
Okay, hear me out. This is such an easy way to start the sunflower theme before anyone even walks inside. I found the cutest mat with a little “Hello Sunshine” message and sunflower graphics. It instantly made my porch feel more welcoming.
Tip: Layer it over a buffalo plaid rug for that extra farmhouse charm.
2. Hanging Sign by the Door
I love a good seasonal door sign. Something about a hand-painted wooden sign that says “Welcome” with sunflowers just makes me smile. Bonus points if it has a little gingham ribbon or a cute little bee buzzing around.
3. Sunflower and Lemon Wreath
This combo? Obsessed. The yellow-on-yellow vibe is summery without being too much. Plus, lemons are such a fun twist. It gives your door a fresh and fruity vibe.
4. Wooden Standing Welcome Sign
I leaned a tall sunflower-themed welcome sign right next to the front door, and I swear it makes my whole porch look more styled. It’s rustic, hand-painted, and just screams “summer vibes live here.”
5. Sunflower Bouquet for Your Entryway Table
Once inside, the first thing guests see is your entryway. Pop a faux sunflower bouquet in a white ceramic vase (or even a Mason jar if you’re feelin’ crafty). It instantly lifts the mood.
Kitchen and Dining Room Decor Ideas
Let’s be real. I basically live in my kitchen during summer. Constantly refilling ice, cutting fruit, or baking something I’ll regret eating at midnight. So why not make it cute?
6. Sunflower Table Runner
I found one that has embroidered sunflowers along the edge. It’s subtle, but when the light hits it just right—it glows. Trust me.
7. Paper Towel Holder
Okay, I didn’t know I needed a sunflower-shaped paper towel holder until I saw one. It adds just a little pop to your counter without taking up space. Plus, it’s practical. Love when cute and useful come together.
8. Ceramic Spoon Rest
Because the last thing I want in summer is to clean up sticky countertops. I grabbed a ceramic spoon rest with a little sunflower on it and it makes cooking way more joyful.
9. Utensil Holder
Same vibe—bright yellow with a vintage sunflower print. I keep my wooden spoons and spatulas in it and it just makes the kitchen look more cheerful.
10. Sunflower Centerpiece for Kitchen Island or Dining Table
I threw together a simple centerpiece using faux sunflowers, a little greenery, and a woven basket. You can also DIY one with a sunflower bouquet, mason jars, and some fairy lights. It’s dreamy at night.
11. Sunflower-Themed Tiered Tray Decorations
You know those cute trays people fill with seasonal knickknacks? I did a sunflower version. Mini signs, tiny jars with yellow bows, a little faux honey pot—it’s my favorite summer DIY.
12. Cute Vintage-Style Coasters
Sunflower coasters might sound small, but they’re such a sweet touch. I leave a few on the dining table and coffee table, and guests always notice them.
13. Salt and Pepper Shakers
Tiny, adorable, and the quickest way to make your table feel like a summer brunch spot. I found a ceramic set shaped like blooming sunflowers. Too cute to pass up.
Lighting Options
Now for a little glow. Summer evenings are made for soft lighting, and sunflowers can sneak into your lamps and lanterns too.
14. Tiffany Lamp with Sunflower-Shaped Glass
Okay, this is a splurge—but it’s stunning. The stained-glass look, the golden glow, the vintage charm. I put one on my side table and now it’s the only light I use at night.
15. Sunflower Solar Lantern
Perfect for the porch or backyard. These soak up the sun by day and light up by night with a golden sunflower glow. Plus, they’re solar, so no wires or batteries. Easy win.
Living Room
Let’s not forget the coziest room in the house. Adding sunflower touches here makes your living space feel warm, relaxed, and ready for summer lounging.
16. Sunflower-Themed Cushion Covers
Swap out your usual throw pillows for some bright yellow or sunflower-printed covers. I did mine in a mix of mustard velvet and floral cotton. Instant summer upgrade.
Tip: Stick with just two sunflower-themed ones, and mix in solids or stripes to balance the look.
17. Sunflower Wall Decal
I was a little nervous about this one at first. But I found a large peel-and-stick decal that I put above my reading nook. It adds a big pop of sunshine without the commitment of paint or wallpaper.
Decorating with sunflowers is basically like bottling up sunshine and spreading it through your home.
It’s cheerful, light-hearted, and totally customizable. Whether you go all-in or just add a few yellow touches here and there, it’s such an easy way to make your space feel alive for summer.
And hey, if you’re not totally sold yet, just buy the doormat. Trust me—it’s the gateway drug to full-blown sunflower obsession.

Happy decorating, sunflower lovers!
