Easy Ways to Refresh Your Home for Summer
If you’re like us, you’re looking forward to the lighter feeling that the summer season brings. Here are some quick tips for adding fresh and bright elements to your home for the warmer months to come.
Lighten & Brighten Your Fabrics
When walking into your home this time of year, you’ll want to see brighter colors and lighter fabrics. Start by swapping out throw pillows to add some color. At HSH Collective, we work with clients to provide options that can really add some excitement and add a fresh feeling to your home. Getting rid of heavy materials and replacing your throw blankets is the next step. Choose styles in linen or gauze, or any lightweight and bright-colored fabrics.
Freshen Up Greenery & Florals
One of our favorite ways to liven up a space is by adding greenery. We recommend picking low-maintenance, modern options like snake plants, succulents, or ornamental grasses. These can be placed strategically next to your furniture or on tabletops to add color. Choose stone planters to continue with a modern look, or add in our favorite textures, rattan, and wicker for a more beachy, boho style. Plants will easily add dimension and interest to a space with planters of different sizes and heights. You can really get creative with it.
Add Natural Elements
Here in Florida, our clients will often want to add a more beachy style for summer without overwhelming the space. We love to add driftwood-colored wood elements and wicker or rattan materials, whether it’s a candle holder, bowl for fruits, tray for publications, or planters for your indoor space. In our portfolio you can see this at play, especially in the more prominent areas of the home where people gather.
Choose Natural Fiber Rugs
Updating your accent rugs can have a more significant impact than pillows and throws. Swapping rugs, particularly from a wool rug to a natural fiber like jute, instantly adds a summer feel. They are also low cost and take wear and tear very well. West Elm has a great selection of jute rugs, giving you more possibilities for shapes and sizes for your home.
