Summer is the season that everyone looks forward to embracing. The long warm Summer days, outdoor living & entertaining, endless hours in the pool, creating new refreshing cocktails and long weekends away.
It’s a light, bright and happy season and there’s no reason why your home shouldn’t reflect that same energy.
If you haven’t already learned from reading this blog or listening to my podcast, how you decorate your home impacts your mood, comfort, and well-being.
So I fully encourage you to add a few tweaks to your home decor and embracing beautiful Summer themes, will keep your home feeling fresh and exciting. This way, when your family and friends come over to visit, your home feels like a warm hug.
A few things you will want to keep in mind when decorating for Summer:
Lighter fabrics. Push the velvets into your linen closet and bring out the cottons, linens and sheer fabrics. You’ll also want to think about lighter throw blankets, too.
Softer colors. Forget neutral everything and incorporate muted colors and soft pastels into your home decor. You can add color easily with flowers, plates and dishes, throw pillows and books.
Make your outdoor spaces feel like indoors. One of the best ways to do this is outdoor rugs. Whether you are freshening up your welcome mat area or your backyard outdoor dining room, you will want to make the outdoor spaces feel more inviting.

There really is nothing more chic and classic than blue and white china. I personally swapped out my kitchen utensil holder for a blue and white chinoiserie orchid pot and it makes the kitchen feel so much more cheerful.
