Yes, we're well into the summer now, but it's still not too late to add some seasonal updates to your interior spaces to give your home a refresh. Think light, bright, and effortlessly stylish—your space should reflect the laid-back vibe of summer living. From a simple switch of soft furnishings to chic accessory updates, here's the easy updates we know you'll love.
1. bedlinen, throws & textiles
Trade in those heavy winter layers for crisp cotton or linen bed sheets. Opt for soft pastels or a lighter muted palette to create a serene, summery feel in the bedroom.
This 100% cotton stipe bedlinen from Zara is a low cost way to style your bed and inject a bit of sunshine into your mid-summer interior update.
2. Cushions & Curtains
Swap out dark, heavy fabrics for something lighter—think linen or sheer materials. Introduce cushions in fresh shades or playful prints to add a pop of colour to your space.

3. Colour Pops
Summer is undoubtedly the season to embrace colour. Incorporate bold, bright accents throughout your home, with a statement vase, a new piece of art, or a vibrant table lamp perhaps.

6. Mirrors
Strategically placed mirrors can work wonders in reflecting light and making your home feel more spacious.
