Design tips to match the season.

08 July 2024 –

Summer is the perfect time to refresh your home with light and airy pieces that capture the essence of the season. Here are a few tips for welcoming summertime sunshine into your home.

Embrace the warmth and energy of summer by incorporating bright, summery tones like serene blues, fresh greens, clean whites, and sunny yellows into your color palette. Opt for lightweight fabrics such as linen and cotton to keep things breezy and comfortable. Consider adding playful patterns like stripes and gingham to your throw pillows, tablecloths, and even outdoor furniture cushions for a sense of fun and charm. Utilize summer wood tones like light oak or bamboo to enhance the natural, relaxed vibe. And don’t forget to bring the outdoors in by decorating with fresh flowers and potted plants, which add a touch of nature and color. Additionally, pay special attention to your outdoor spaces—think cozy seating areas with eclectic pillows, table lamps for evening ambiance, and stylish planters to create a luxurious atmosphere.

Choose lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton, like the Fringed Alpaca Throw, to layer on a lounge chair or at the foot of a bed.
