There are so many different ways to bring summer into your home (even if it’s a bit of a rainy summer), we can still brighten up our homes and make the most of the warmer season. 


Here are some of our favourite ways to style your home for summer 

  1. Bring in lighter colours and products through different accessories

Choose lighter rattan products rather than darker ones instantly makes your space feel lighter and more summery and neutral colour and materials provide a sense of a warm sunny afternoon. Materials like rattan add a touch of summertime to any room in your house.

2. Blur the lines between indoor and outdoors

Think alfresco living! Using similar products both indoor and outdoors is a great way to embrace the summer. Using the same coasters and placemats on your outdoor table as you do in your home is a really easy way to do this. You can also bring in other similar accessories such as candles and glassware. Another way to blend the outdoors with indoors is to bring more flowers and plants into your home as well as making sure your outside space feels just as luxurious as your indoor space.

3. Never underestimate the power of glassware

Introducing a different type of glassware for your outdoor space or for your whole home throughout summer is a nice way to make a change within your home to reflect the seasons. Maybe you opt for a sea blue or maybe you change to a pale and light blue to keep that light, calming feeling.

Making these small seasonal changes can make sure a big difference to your space and can really help you to feel the full effect of the seasons. Changing these items in your home can signal to you and your family that a new season is here and encourage your activities and lifestyle to change with it. 

 

4. Clear away the clutter with storage boxes 

In the winter month we maybe don’t worry so much about a few extra things such as blankets around our home as it makes you feel cosy and warm but in the summer want to encourage the natural light and space as much as possible. One really easy way to do this is to remove as much clutter as possible. Investing in good storage accessories which enhance the style of your home is what we find best. Maybe you replace the log basket with a magazine basket or maybe you buy a lid with a box to hide the winter blankets.
