Summer Living: 5 Easy Ways to Make Your Home Feel Like a Sunny Escape

Summer is all about long days, iced drinks, and spaces that feel breezy and bright. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or just want your living room to feel more like a vacay spot, we've got five playful, easy tips to help you refresh your home for the sunny season.

1. Pop In Summer Colors

Trade out darker tones for a splash of summer with bright pillows, bold wall art, or a pastel throw. Think sunny yellows, ocean blues, or tropical corals—like a summer cocktail, but for your sofa.

2. Switch to Light & Airy Textiles

Say goodbye to heavy throws and wool rugs. Linen curtains, cotton blankets, and breezy fabric textures help your space feel cooler—literally and visually. Bonus points for layering in some summer stripes or florals.

3. Create an Indoor–Outdoor Flow

Slide open the doors and bring the outdoors in. Add planters near entryways, use furniture that works both inside and out, and make your patio an extension of your living room. Our collection of outdoor furniture fits right in—whether it’s deck lounging or porch dining.

4. Cool It Down with Décor

Use décor to beat the heat. Opt for sheer curtains to let in light but keep the hot sun out. Add a decorative fan (yes, those exist!) or even a high-gloss coffee table that reflects light and feels fresh.

5. Add Fresh Scents & Greenery

Bring the garden indoors with potted herbs, lemony candles, or eucalyptus bundles. Not only does it smell amazing, but it adds life and texture to your space without overwhelming it.
