Is your home ready for the new season? As the temperature rises, it’s time to replace cosy winter vibes with breezy accessories that celebrate summer. From elegant glass vases to light-reflecting pale carpets, discover our summer styling tips to master the seasonal shift in style.
How to Store Seasonal Décor
Before you start decorating for summer indoors, make sure you take the time to store your winter pieces properly. That way, they’ll still be pristine when you take them out again next season.
• Organise your accessories by type (for example, keeping all your accent cushions together) and label each box clearly.
• Protect fragile pieces such as glass vases by wrapping them in bubble wrap or layers of soft cloth.
• Use transparent bins or boxes so that you can see what’s inside without having to open multiple boxes.
• Store your accessories in a cool, dry place to guard against mould and mildew.
Lighter and Brighter for Summer
Once you’ve mastered our home décor storage hacks, it’s time to start introducing a more summery aesthetic. Breathable fabrics and light colours will usher in a fresh and airy feel.
• Start from the ground up. Replace heavy carpets with modern rugs in neutral tones to reflect the light and make your space feel more open. Beige carpets are perfect.
• Update your cushions for the new season. Swap out winter’s velvet cushions in rich, dark colours for pastel cushions in cool cotton jacquard or linen.
• Switch out heavy drapes for sheer curtains that let in natural light.
Incorporate Natural Elements
Home décor for summers is all about bringing the outdoors in to energise your living space.
• Introduce potted plants and display seasonal fresh flowers in your favourite glass vases to create a connection with nature.
• Take inspiration from Mother Nature’s colour palette and ground your space with round rugs in earth tones or shades of green.
• Display seasonal fruit in decorative bowls for a bright, bold accent that’s perfectly in tune with the outdoors.
