Simple Summer Styling Tips to Refresh Your Space
As the temperatures rise and the days stretch longer, Summer is the perfect time to refresh your home and embrace a lighter, breezier style. Whether you’re staying put or getting ready to host garden parties and weekend guests, a few simple updates can make your space feel bright, open, and ready for summer living.
Here are our top tips for giving your interior a seasonal refresh this month.
1. Mediterranean Inspired Tablescapes
One of the biggest trends this summer?
Mediterranean-style dining. Think lemons, cobalt blue accents, leafy greens and crisp white linens with rustic wooden tables.
Whether you have a full garden, a patio, or a small balcony, recreate that Amalfi Coast magic with:
Citrus-themed tableware or centrepieces
Mismatched ceramic plates for a rustic Italian feel
Linen napkins and simple candles for a laid-back but luxe touch
Add a jug of homemade lemonade or Aperol spritz, and you’re instantly transported.

2. Embrace Light and Airy Fabrics
Ditch the heavy throws and knits, summer is all about light, breathable fabrics.
Swap in natural materials like linen, cotton, and gauze to create a soft, effortless vibe.
Layer cushions in muted neutrals or pastels, drape a lightweight throw over the sofa, or change your bedding to a crisp white or soft sage tone for a cooling effect.

3. Natural Earthy Textures
Rather than bold colours, this summer is all about organic materials that bring a grounded, calming energy into your home.
Earthy textures like woven rattan, natural rustic woods, clay, and stone can add depth and character without overwhelming the space.
Look for ways to incorporate these elements through:
Woven baskets or jute rugs
Clay or terracotta pots and vases
Wooden side tables or picture frames
Rustic bowls in natural stones
These textures create a soothing, sun-warmed atmosphere that feels effortless and timeless, perfect for summer living.

4. Bring the Outdoors In
Whether it’s a single statement plant or a cluster of wildflowers, greenery adds life to any space.
Indoor plants are not only a visual pick-me-up, but they also help improve air quality and soften the overall aesthetic.
If you’re not naturally green-thumbed, dried stems like pampas or eucalyptus still give you that organic texture without the upkeep.
