The days are getting longer, and the weather is getting warmer – it’s time to style your home for summer! Whether you’re looking for subtle ways to bring a breath of fresh air into your home or go all out with summer decor ideas, there are plenty of ways to bring a summer vibe into your living space with summer décor ideas aplenty.

From lightening up your curtains and blinds to switching out cushions for more vibrant colours, this guide will give you plenty of ideas on how to style your home for the summer season.

Choose Your Colour Palette

When it comes to decorating for summer, there are two main considerations: colour and pattern.

First off, you want to make sure that your home is bright, but that doesn’t always mean you have to have a vibrant colour palette; a bright home can be achieved by using light and neutral fabrics for curtains and blinds that welcome natural light into your home. 

However, if you love a colour pop, there are plenty of bright colours that you can integrate into your space, and adding colour or pattern to cushions is a simple yet effective way of doing this.

Add Natural Elements

Bringing in natural elements is a great way to add a summery feel to your home. Incorporating wood, wicker and rattan will give your space a beachy vibe, whilst adding plants and flowers can bring in the outdoors. 

Use linen or cotton for curtains, blinds and cushions to keep things light and airy; the aim of the game is to make your summer space as fresh as the outdoors.

Incorporate Texture

Experiment with layering different textures for an inviting and cosy atmosphere; fabrics with texture add an interesting element to your space, allowing you to add depth with things such as cushions, rugs and throws.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Mirrors are a great way to add light to a space, and during the summer months, when the sun shines that little bit longer, incorporating a new mirror into your room will leave your home feeling light and airy during golden hour.

Let The Sunshine In!

There is nothing quite like natural light in the summer, and one of the best ways to inject the season into your home is to welcome in the natural light. Keep your window dressings light and go for sheer curtains.

Incorporate Fragrances

Candles and diffusers look great and add an extra dimension to your space that takes it to the next level this summer.

Think of your favourite fresh summer scents and diffuse them or burn them in a candle. Think of things like lemon, freshly cut grass and clean linens for the ultimate summery scents.

Add pattern

Mix and match different patterns to create a dynamic look, and don’t be scared to play around with clashing prints if it feels right. Think of adding things such as stripes, florals, and geometric patterns in your decorating choices as an accent, and use them on curtains, Roman blinds or cushions for a look that can be as bold or subtle as you choose.
