String Lights
String lights are perfect for summer houses because they create a romantic ambiance while also giving it a rustic feel.
If you want an entirely new look on your summer house, all you need to do is add string lights to the bedroom ceiling and make it look like an enchanted forest.

There are so many uses for pallets; you could even use the wood pieces to go along with the theme of your home and decorate it with all sorts of other items.
Wall Decals
What is it about walls that make them so boring? Walls are meant to be adorned with art, photo frames, drawings, decals, paintings, sayings… The possibilities are endless!
You’ll love wall decals because they can be used for many different types of things that will make your little retreat even better. You can put posters on the walls of your summer house, or you can even put decals of quotes that will inspire you to be better!
A Sliding Glass Door
A glass door will bring more natural light into your summer house, and it will also look cool!
If you have a narrow area where you can fit it in, sliding glass doors are great because they’re not too heavy.
DIY Pallet Headboard
This is the perfect project to go along with some of the other pallet ideas because you can display beautiful photos on your pallets!
You’ll probably want to use several different types of wood to create the finishing touches. You can also make a nightstand if you don’t have an actual headboard.

Garden lights are fantastic; they’re not only pretty but also remind you of the holidays whenever you see them!
You might even want to put Christmas lights in your garden during the wintertime for a fun decoration to make your summer house look all warm and homey.
