Decorating with White Orchids: 5 Summer Tips

Bring a Touch of Coastal Calm into Your Home with Just Add Ice 

Summer is the season of sunshine, salty air, and effortlessly breezy style and your home should reflect that same relaxed vibe. With light palettes and natural textures trending everywhere from fashion runways to interior design feeds, there’s one floral that's making a serious splash this season: orchids. 

Graceful, low-maintenance, and endlessly elegant, orchids are the perfect way to bring a refined, summery touch to your space. And the best part? You don’t need a green thumb to enjoy them. We want to help you incorporate our favorite flower into your space.  

1. Anchor Your Coastal Tablescape

Channel seaside serenity by placing a white phalaenopsis orchid in a woven or ceramic pot at the center of your table. Add in linen napkins and soft-toned accents, think driftwood, sea glass, or pale blues, for an elegant, beach-inspired look that’s perfect for everything from backyard brunches to candlelit dinners on the patio. 

2. Make a Statement in the Entryway

First impressions matter. Welcome guests with a tall, single-stem orchid in a soft neutral pot. The clean lines of the flower paired with sandy hues or textured finishes like clay and stone create a warm, calming vibe that’s just the right mix of minimal and inviting. 

3. Turn Your Bathroom into a Spa Retreat

Want spa-day vibes without ever leaving home? Add an orchid to your vanity or tub-side shelf. These blooms love the bathroom’s natural humidity and look stunning against white tile, bamboo accessories, or brushed gold fixtures. Instant Zen. 

4. Style Your Open Shelving

Orchids aren’t just for centerpieces, they also shine in the smaller, often-overlooked corners of your home. Tuck a mini orchid onto open shelves or built-ins alongside your favorite books, candles, or baskets. It adds color, texture, and that always-coveted "lived-in but styled" look. 

5. Pair with Natural Textures

Summer is all about earthy organic materials. Place your orchid in a jute-wrapped pot, set it on a cane tray, or nestle it into a seagrass basket. The soft structure of the blooms balances beautifully with rustic elements, creating a harmonious and grounded aesthetic. 

Whether your vibe is Coastal Chic, Boho Natural, or somewhere in between, orchids bring a fresh sophistication to any room. With blooms lasting 8–12 weeks and needing just 3 ice cubes a week, we make elevating your summer decor effortless.  

So go ahead, let your space bloom.
