How to Style Pipe Furniture with Summer Decor Trends
Summer is the perfect time to refresh your space—and pipe furniture makes that easier than ever. Whether you're working with a cozy apartment or a sprawling patio, a few simple updates can turn your PIPE DECOR® pieces into sun-kissed showstoppers. We’re diving into the latest summer decor trends and how to make your pipe furniture feel light, bright, and totally on-season.
Go Green with Plants
Nothing says summer quite like a healthy dose of greenery. Pipe furniture pairs beautifully with plants, whether it’s a small fern on your side table or a hanging pothos on your wall shelf. Use PIPE DECOR® wall-mounted shelves to display a mix of herbs, succulents, and trailing plants. For bar carts or console tables, style with a large statement plant (hello, monstera!) to soften the industrial edge.
Tip: Choose light, natural pots or baskets to enhance the summer vibe.
Mix in Woven Textures
Woven textures are having a moment this season, and they look incredible against the bold lines of pipe furniture. Add a rattan tray to your pipe coffee table or a wicker basket on a shelf to introduce natural warmth. These elements create a relaxed, beachy feel without going overboard.
Bonus: They also double as great storage for books, throws, or board games.
Lighten Up with Wood Tones
Many PIPE DECOR® kits are designed to pair with your own tabletop or shelving boards, so this is the perfect chance to try lighter woods. Swap out dark finishes for blonde, whitewashed, or even reclaimed pine surfaces. Lighter wood adds a breezy, summer-ready tone that still complements the industrial base.
Idea: Try our bar height table leg kits with a pale wood top for an instant outdoor upgrade.
Layer in Outdoor Textiles
Got pipe furniture on the patio? Summer is the time to layer in colorful cushions, breezy throws, and outdoor rugs. Pipe benches become way more inviting with a simple cushion and some patterned pillows. For bar carts, add a linen runner or even a soft, neutral cloth for contrast.
Style tip: Keep the textiles light and airy—think white, cream, dusty blue, or soft sage.
Add Glass and Brass Accents
Industrial pipe furniture creates a solid foundation, but summer calls for a little sparkle. Add brass candle holders, clear glass vases, or even pastel glassware to your pipe shelves or dining setup. These small details make your furniture feel polished and pulled together.
Pair with: Pipe bar carts styled with glass decanters and light-colored cocktail napkins for a chic summer vibe.
Keep It Easy and Adaptable
One of the best things about pipe furniture is its flexibility. You can easily move it, restyle it, or even build something new. Summer gatherings, last-minute get-togethers, or just relaxing at home—your pipe pieces can do it all.
