How To Refresh Your Home For Summer

Jun 14, 2024

Refresh for Summer

Fall and Winter aren’t the only times to refresh your home. Summer is also an ideal time to make subtle changes that can make a significant difference in your home. The warm weather means more people are spending more time outside with family, packing up and going to the beach, and cooking. Update your living and dining spaces for a light, cool, and airy feel that reflects the relaxing summer season.

Keep it Cool

Insulated curtains are a smart solution to combat the scorching summer heat. Lower your energy bill and live more comfortably with insulated window treatments. Insulated curtains maintain a cooler indoor environment by trapping the cold air in and keeping the hot air out. This makes your home more comfortable and cool, and allows you to save on energy costs.

Change the Bedding

As much as we love our soft, flannel, winter bedding, it’s time to make the transition to something more light and breathable. Since choosing a new sheet set can be challenging, we recommend finding sheets made primarily of cotton. Cotton bedding is durable and can absorb moisture to keep you dry on hot nights.

Our Peached Percale sheet sets offer a great option and come in a variety of colors for you to choose from. Unlike other sheets that fade, this bedding becomes more rumpled and relaxed after every wash.

Another simple upgrade to your guest room or bedroom is upgrading your comforter to a quilt. Quilts are one of our most popular bedding styles because they come in an array of styles, from simple, to bold and colorful. They’re perfect for layering with blankets and throws for colder nights and ideal for those hot nights where you just need something lightweight.

If you prefer to stick with your comforter, you can also elevate your bedroom with a new duvet cover.

Bring The Outside, In

Let your home decorations work in harmony with the summer season. Exchange the darker, deeper tones with lighter, brighter colors to bring the colors of summer inside.

We have a wide range of styles to choose from, like Cecil, which uses fern leaves and floral springs to Nautical inspired patterns, like Blue Coast Shells. Whatever your style we have many options to choose from that will make your home feel like a permanent vacation retreat!

Brighten up your tablescape, kitchen, or dining room with simple touches such as our Sea Glass Table Runner, Fish Porcelain Ceramics, or Fish Trivet. These ocean inspired pieces will add a pop of color and dress up your space.

Another easy and tasteful addition to your space is adding decorative accent pillows. Choose from a print featuring a Lab on a dock, lobster buoy print, fish pillows, flamingos, or a starfish pillow to add a final touch to pull your space together. Whether it’s in your sunroom, guest bedroom, or living space, unique pillows can be fun and functional.

Don’t Forget the Bathroom

Lastly, make sure the bathroom is ready and stocked. Put extra towels in your guest room for visitors, or additional towels in the bathroom for the family. During summertime, you need to wash off the sunscreen and sand when you get home from a day on the beach or by the lake.

Our 100% cotton towels are soft and absorbent and have color offerings to match any bathroom color scheme. Go bold with a bright Aqua color, or choose a neutral color that looks great year-round.

Prepare your home for summer by using energy-efficient window treatments, fresh bedding, and coastal decorations. These items will help create a peaceful coastal getaway atmosphere. Stay cool and comfortable with items from our Coastal Collection and beyond that remind you that every day should be a beach day!
