12 ‘Brat Summer’-Inspired Ideas from Interior Design Experts

One of the more natural solutions for a brattier home? Give it more greenery. “I think the aloe plant is brat in general,” says Lisa Fine, co-founder of home goods brand Quiet Town. “I’m obsessed with it because I have regular sunscreen misses and always find myself heading straight for the aloe plant in my bathroom whenever I do.”

Another option is bringing green hydrangeas into your dining room, like Susie Novak of Susie Novak Interiors did at a home in Northern California. There are a few types that could work, but the “Invincibelle Sublime” definitely out-brats the rest.

“How fun are these stackable dining chairs from Article?” Novak says. “Super easy to mix in with almost any outdoor decor scheme.”

For the bratty chefs out there, you can explore a variety of pieces to add to your kitchen. For instance, Drew Michael Scott of Lone Fox loves this green marble pinch bowl. 

“A simple way to add a splash of color to your space,” he says. “Its muted green tone provides just the right amount of vibrancy without being overpowering.”

Pour one out for Brat Summer with these Scott-approved glasses, which serve as the perfect complement to a kitchen or bar cart display.

A throw pillow, like this rectangular option from Society6, can easily translate the trend and potentially blend into your existing interior design.

“You can’t go wrong with new and colorful pillows!” Novak says. It’s the perfect moment to add a neon green pillow to your family room sofa.”

You can mimic the wild nature of the brat aesthetic with neon signage, like this circle from helloneonsign. 

“To add visual interest to any bratosphere, an amazing option for a kids room, music room, or virtually any space, is to incorporate a neon green art installation,” Novak says.

Of course, Fine’s famous collection of Sun Showers offers yet another opportunity to create a conversation-starter in your bathroom. Both Orient Zinc and Orient Cucumber would fit in at any brat’s home.

“The Sun Shower in lime is a real ‘F you’ to a precious tip-toe-and-sweet-whisper kind of morning,” Fine says. “It’s like a cold shower kind of wakeup. In the most fun and happy way.”

Fine also suggests reinvigorating your shower routine with a funky and fresh soap, like the Wary Meyers Cucumber & Cilantro Soap.

While parents might not want to encourage brattiness, these lime green stools are a bright and fun addition in a kids’ room. 

“These stools are adorable and all kids will love the color,” Novak says.

Combining sophistication and Brat Summer, Scott has his eye on the Venezia Olive Green Glass Taper Candle Holders from Crate & Barrel.

“They’re an easy way to effortlessly introduce a touch of color into your decor,” he says. “They add a refreshing pop without overwhelming the space.”

If lime green isn’t for you, consider a more neutral tone for your bedroom, like the one featured in this unique candle warmer. “The circular base and color adds the perfect statement to an end table or nightstand,” Scott says.
