How to update your home to feel more Summery

Edyta's Expert Advice

I have been asked a few times "How to update a home to feel and look more Summery".
This is a great question since during the Summer (especially in areas where we have very distinguished seasons) it gets very warm and very sunny. Although we might love our velvets and beautifully designed rooms. For summer we might want it to feel airier, little more fresh, perhaps with more of a summer vibe.
Some great ways to freshen up the look and feel of your home is by switching out drapes and pillow covers with more saturated tones along with white contrasts while using linen & cotton fabrics.
Pretty printed linens & cotton textiles will automatically give of a sense of easy going lightness & summery breezy appeal. The weight of the fabric along with comfortable light feeling will set a tone for a summer landscape.This is a great way to update a room from cold to warm season & vice versa. It will create a great impact without doing any major renovation.
The other bonus is,that you can have your drapes and pillow covers cleaned during this time and freshly sparkly ready for the next season :)


Bright pillow covers in a pretty white & lime create a fresh look in this bedroom. If the bed had heavy weight fabric pillows on it would not look so summery and easy going as it does. Beautiful
