[For Care Facilities] Let’s Enjoy the Summer! A Collection of Wall Decoration Ideas

A summer so hot you break into a sweat from the morning.

Things like swimming in the ocean, shaved ice, and summer festivals may come to mind.

However, it seems that many older adults find it difficult to sense heat and the change of seasons.

So this time, we’re sharing ideas for wall decorations that let people feel summer even inside a facility.

We’ve gathered works featuring iconic summer plants and animals like sunflowers and fireflies, as well as seasonal scenes such as the sea and fireworks.

By enjoying the season through wall displays and reminiscing about summers past, we hope everyone can savor their days more deeply.

Please use these craft activity ideas with older adults to help create enjoyable moments together.

[For Care Facilities] Enjoy the Feeling of Summer! A Collection of Wall Decoration Ideas (141–150)

Goldfish wall decoration

How about a cool decoration that looks like cute goldfish gracefully swimming along the wall? The method allows for lots of individuality, so each older adult can enjoy it in their own way! Make the goldfish’s body with origami paper, and use tissue paper for the dorsal and tail fins.

If you crumple the tissue paper first and then cut it, you can create a variety of fluttery fin expressions! To finish, attach the body and fins and add the eyes.

Round stickers make easy eyes.

When displaying them on the wall, try adding strings and hanging them—you’ll get a refreshing, breezy look.

Give it a try!

Would you like to recreate a morning glory curtain that decorates a summer veranda using origami? The more you make, the more gorgeous the wall display will become, so try creating it to match the size of your space and walls, and the mood of your room.

You make the morning glory flowers by folding origami paper, rounding the edges with scissors, and then opening it up.

Make the leaves and vines by cutting construction paper, too.

The base is made by gluing together strips cut from construction paper.

Arrange the vines, leaves, and morning glory flowers on this base.

If you let some parts extend slightly beyond the edges when you glue them, it will look more realistic.

It would also be lovely to create a large piece together with seniors at a day service center.

Sunflower wall decoration

As a flower that evokes summer, a sunflower wall decoration—something everyone can picture—is a great recreational activity for seniors who find it hard to go outside during the usual intense heat.

Just trace a circle using a plate, then attach petals made from construction paper, and you can make striking sunflowers bloom right in the room.

It’s also recommended for seniors as it involves fine motor work, and if it doesn’t go well, you can adjust the size of the plate to create flowers in a size that’s easier for you to make.

Classic yellow is lovely, but it’s also fun to use patterned paper to craft colorful, varied sunflowers.

Why not reuse toilet paper rolls to make fireworks decorations? You’ll end up with high-quality fireworks that you’d never guess were made from toilet paper cores! Accordion-fold your favorite origami or chiyogami paper, then attach it as you wrap it around the roll.

Cut along the fold lines and fan it out.

For the finishing touch, use a chopstick or similar stick to curl the tips—and you’re done.

Make several and layer them for extra volume! If you’re decorating a wall, arranging a mix of large and small sizes will create a bright, festive look.

When you think of summer traditions, fireworks come to mind, don’t they? Seeing beautiful fireworks light up the night sky makes you feel like you can fully enjoy summer.

For some seniors, however, it can be difficult to see fireworks up close.

For those people, we recommend a fireworks wall mural.

If you decorate your room with one, you can admire it anytime.

This time, let’s try making a fireworks mural as a craft.

All you have to do is stick colored paper cut into various fireworks shapes onto black construction paper.

It’s easy to make, so it’s perfect for beginners.

Create a lovely fireworks mural that will let seniors fully enjoy the summer.

In conclusion

We introduced summer wall decorations for care facilities.

What did you think? Since summer is hot, we often spend time indoors.

Wall-decoration activities are perfect for older adults because they can be enjoyed comfortably inside.

Decorating rooms with summer flowers and event-themed wall displays also helps you fully enjoy the summer mood, so we highly recommend it.
