Guest Picks: 20 Dreamy Summer Art Photographs

Changing up an art wall a few times each year is a great way to refresh your decor. It doesn't have to cost a fortune if you collect small prints from up-and-coming artists and photographers. Choosing a common subject, color or overall theme will help your gallery wall have a distinct purpose. For summer, I am loving the washed-out colors and vintage feel of the 20 summer-theme photographs collected below. — Laura from Lolalina

Beach Photography, Yellow Lifeguard Tower by Bree Madden Photography - $30.00 » A sunshine-yellow lifeguard tower is the perfect symbol of summer. The faded light in this photo reminds me of high noon on a hot beach, and I can almost hear the waves lapping at the sand.


Morning Swim Photography by Lola's Room - $20.00 » The simplicity of this pool print feels very modern. Though it's lovely in a small size, I imagine it would be even more stunning blown up extra large.


Summer Watermelon Photograph by A Life Through the Lens - $25.00 » Faded light, a vintage dress, pigtails and watermelon — this piece calls to mind the simple pleasures of a small town summer.


Nostalgia Art Print by Laura Ruth - $19.00 » A simple collection of vintage ice cream scoops is elevated to art in this photo by Laura Ruth. It would make a particularly cheerful addition to the kitchen.


Surfer Dudes Beach Photography by Bree Madden Photography - $30.00 » I love the dreamy quality of this photograph from Bree Madden. Two surfers carry boards in the distance, while the peach-tinged light shimmers on wet sand where sky meets beach.


Beach Horses Photo by Hey Harriet Photography - $10.00 » Racehorses on their day off get treated to a frolic on the beach in this print from Hey Harriet. The color filters and imperfections give this piece a mysterious quality.


Lemonade Fine Art Photograph by September Wren - $28.00 » The slightly faded colors in this print give it a lovely vintage glow. And what could be more summery than a tall cup of icy lemonade on the deck?


Morning Haze Art Print by Laura Ruth - $19.00 » I rode horses growing up, and I remember early summer mornings at the barn as a magical time. This photo from Laura Ruth captures the mood perfectly: hazy light, mist on the grass and faded barn wood.


Eyes Horse Photo by Apples & Oats - $25.00 » This sweet photograph from Apples & Oats would be lovely paired with the barn photo above. Warm summer light makes this chestnut beauty's coat glow.


Queen Anne's Lace Botanical Art Print by Lupen Grainne Photography - $24.00 » The intricate detail and rich background give this photo of Queen Anne's Lace a painterly quality. And the colors are pure summer.


Summer Daisy Crown Photograph by Victoria English Charm - $25.00 » The softened light and green fields in the distance give this daisy chain photograph a summer-of-love feeling. It would be a sweet touch in a girl's room.


Fruit Peels in Rural Cuba Fine Art Photograph by Endless Drawings - $35.00 » This deceptively simple photograph of fruit peels, taken in rural Cuba, is filled with rich color and texture. I love the peeling pink wall and door frame in the background.


Ocean Beach Wall Art by D.S. Brennan Photography - $35.00 » This print comes from one of my favorite photographers, Diana Brennan. I've seen this beach print in person, and the golden glow of light is even more lovely than it appears here.


Vintage-style VW Van Bus Photography by Hello Twiggs - $30.00 » There is something incredibly optimistic about the sight of this lime green VW van with its '70s floral curtains and striped roof rack. A fun and funky addition to the art wall.


Up High Art Print by Simply Hue - $18.00 » Little puffs of clouds and a cheerful, striped yellow umbrella combine to give this print from Simply Hue a buoyant, uplifting feel.


Cornfield Nature Photography by Hello Twiggs - $30.00 » I can almost feel the sun on my cheeks and the scratchy tips of hay in the field when I gaze at this photo from Hello Twiggs.


Swimming Pool Photography by Lola's Room - $20.00 » A shiny yellow inner tube floats in a glass-green swimming pool, while leafy palms and the sky reflect on its surface. The colors alone are enough to catch my eye, but the composition is striking too.


Blueberries Rustic Photography by Lupen Grainne Photography - $24.00 » Plump, juicy blackberries, all in a row. What could be better than that? This print is a top contender for wall space in my kitchen.


Ocean Photograph by Lupen Grainne Photography - $24.00 » This luminous ocean print from California photographer Lupen Grainne has dark, moody edges that remind me of an old-fashioned tintype.


From the Sea Nature Photography by Lola's Room - $20.00 » There is something poetic about this carefully arranged collection of shells. It would be a natural addition to a beach-themed art wall.
