Zara Home’s latest summer drop is nailing the aesthetic sweet spot for 2025: a little bit coastal European, a little bit vintage flea—and all at a price that won’t make your wallet weep. The vibe? Textural minimalism meets playful detail. Think wavy scalloped baskets, Provençal block-printed rugs and fruit-topped glass spoons that toe the line between still life and tabletop. The collection also leans into trends I’m seeing everywhere right now: striped terry, Mediterranean pottery and surrealist shapes. (Peep this adorable little sea animal coupe.) 

Whether you’re styling a balcony in the city or a poolside cabana, here are 10 Zara finds that’ll bring a touch of summer escapism to your space—all under $100.

Equal parts Dolce Vita and cocktail hour kitsch, this six-piece dessert spoon set is exactly what your summer tablescape didn’t know it needed. Each long-stemmed glass spoon is topped with a miniature fruit—think lemon, apple, orange—like a still life you can actually use. While they’re technically designed for sorbet or affogato, I picture them laid across a linen napkin at brunch or twirling through Aperol granita in mismatched coupes. Handmade from 100 percent glass with a dainty, teardrop scoop, they’re fragile (read: hand wash only) but fabulous.

Scalloped edges are having a moment—and this basket nails the trend. Handwoven from 100 percent rattan, its undulating rim adds just enough flirt to offset the rustic texture. It’s also the kind of piece you’ll find yourself moving from room to room: styled with lemons in the kitchen, folded linen napkins on the patio or sunscreen and rolled Turkish towels poolside. Lightweight but structured, it channels European farmhouse meets Ibiza beach market.

This is not your average summer candle. Poured into a weighty, weather-worn vessel that looks like it was plucked from a Tuscan courtyard, Zara’s lemon bergamot candle brings understated luxury to your outdoor setup. The vegetable wax blend gives off a crisp medley of bergamot, citrus, lemongrass and vetiver—less bug spray, more Amalfi garden party. It’s smoky, herbal and just floral enough to layer into sunset cocktails and linen-covered tables. Leave it on the patio next to your rattan tray and let the scent (and sculptural shape) do all the entertaining.

Some lamps are just a source of light. This one is a vibe. Carved from 100 percent marble with a pillowy, rounded silhouette, it’s a practical table lamp that brings soft, sculptural energy to any corner of your space. It glows with three dimmable settings—controlled by a base tap—and the rechargeable, (USB-powered) lithium battery allows you to move it from terrace to nightstand without cords ruining the mood. With up to 16.5 hours of use (depending on the mode), you can use it for ambient dinners, early morning journaling or simply as the chicest pebble in your home.

Here’s proof that your glassware can have just as much personality as your playlist. This borosilicate coupe features a hand-sculpted sea creature—an adorable tiny red crab—clinging to the stem like it’s ready to gossip over rosé. Lightweight yet sturdy, it’s dishwasher-safe and surprisingly durable for something this charming. Whether you’re serving negronis at a seafood boil or gifting your friend who has a “coastal grandmother” phase every July, this is the kind of glass that sparks conversation (and maybe a few Instagram posts). Collect one or mix with some other playful sea creatures.

For only $36, this vase is a must. Made from 100 percent RCS-certified recycled paper, it brings a sustainable twist to that handmade, textured look designers have been chasing since Axel Vervoordt made wabi-sabi mainstream. The rounded amphora shape and looped handles give it ancient-vessel energy, while the stippled finish adds just enough raw edge to ground a glossy coffee table or breezy console. Just don’t add water—it’s strictly for dried blooms, foraged branches or standing solo like the art object it is.

This might just be the prettiest thing you put on your floor all summer. Made from 100 percent recycled cotton, this floral-printed area rug gives old-world textile vibes with a modern color story. The block print-inspired pattern nods to Provençal linens and Jaipur markets, while the subtle olive and ochre tones make it a chameleon—able to work with minimalist neutrals or layered maximalism. Lightweight but statement-making, it’s perfect for dining nooks, entryways or under a low-slung coffee table with a bowl of oranges and a stack of Cabana mags. Just be sure to have it professionally cleaned to keep the palette crisp.

If Picasso did tabletop decor, it might’ve looked something like this. Handcrafted from 95 percent recycled paper (with just a touch of iron and sand for structure), this painted candlestick delivers major art school energy in all the right ways. The graphic cobalt strokes against the earthy brown form feel equal parts midcentury Mediterranean and modern folk. Use it as a standalone accent on your console or mix it with other handmade pieces for that intentionally collected look.

Vintage cabana stripes, meet Euro summer. Made from 100 percent cotton terry cloth, this reversible towel feels plush without the bulk—and the wide contrast stripes add a nostalgic touch that wouldn’t be out of place at Hotel Il Pellicano or a Slim Aarons shoot. One side features bold vertical lines (available in coastal blue or Amalfi lemon), while the flip side softens the palette with muted sage and goldenrod. The best part? It actually dries you off. Machine-washable, soft on skin, and pretty enough to double as a throw on your sun lounger or picnic spread.

Hand-formed and perfectly imperfect, this stoneware tray is another splash of Riviera charm to your summer tablescape. Each is crafted from 100 percent stoneware with a hand-drawn fish motif that feels equal parts vintage souvenir and Parisian bistro plate. Available in two sizes, they’re ideal for olives, salted nuts or whatever’s coming out of your anchovy tin collection. The wavy rims and painterly details make each one feel special—don’t be surprised when your guests ask where you found them.
