Lighten Up Your Style - Effortless Ways to Enhance Your Home for Summer
Summer is here, finally! It’s time to chill out and enjoy those long evenings. It’s also the perfect opportunity to refresh your interior design. So, fling those windows open, let the breeze in, and allow summer to influence your style.
Where do you start? The weather’s glorious, it’s really not the time to be stripping the wallpaper or rolling up your sleeves to tackle a major decorating project. Let’s take some shortcuts to a beautiful summer-inspired home. We’ll check out some simple yet effective ways to create a bright and breezy summertime aesthetic without any hassle, leaving you plenty of free time to invite your friends around, fire up the barbecue, and relax in style.
Introduce some beachy vibes with lighter soft furnishings
Those rich velvet curtains and dark knitted cushions look fab in autumn and winter, but it’s time to lighten things up for summer. Swapping out your soft furnishings for the summer months is such an easy change, but it’s incredibly effective. Think light, airy fabrics such as linen and stonewashed cotton.
Take a look at the Zeff Naia Ink Linen Cushion, awash with sea blues and a splash of golden sunshine yellow. Made from certified eco-friendly flax, these vibrant cushions are sure to make you smile.
Love the cushions, but feel they don’t coordinate well with your sofa? No problem, you can simply take your summer styling one step further and add in a textured throw. We think the Tana Stonewashed Throw works really well with the Zeff Naia cushions, with its unique texture, almost reminiscent of seaside fishing nets. There are plenty of summer colours to choose from too. Go all out bright with golden Corn, add an accent colour with Vert De Gris, or perfectly complement the cushions with understated Cobalt.
Bring the outside in with nature-led accessories
It’s just wonderful when the garden is full of colour, isn’t it? But doesn’t it make your indoor spaces look dull in comparison? We have a quick fix for that too – make your interiors blooming gorgeous by filling colourful, fun and quirky vases with some of those beautiful flowers from your garden.
Turn heads with our animal-themed ceramic vases like this proud Tall Zebra Ceramic Vase, or the majestic Tall Leopard Vase. Filled with an array of multicoloured flowers, they’re a real focal point for any room, and a great way to bring the outdoors into your interiors.
A treat for the senses
So now your home is giving out pure summer feels, how about going one step further and making your house smell like summer too?
With this beautiful Inis Reed Diffuser placed near an open window, you’ll fill every room with a scent that transports you to the ocean, to lazy strolls along the seafront in timeless seaside villages. Honestly, it’s such a gorgeous outdoorsy holiday scent, you’ve got to try it!
Whether you’re swapping in some fresh linen cushions, styling up with a bold vase, or simply adding a breezy scent by the window, these simple touches can make all the difference. Pop into the shop or browse our collections online.
Let’s make your home feel like summer.
