5 Easy Summer Home Styling Tips to Refresh Your Space

1. Lighten Up Your Window Treatments

Heavy drapes can weigh a room down, especially in summer. Swapping them for linen or cotton sheers instantly softens a space and lets natural light filter in beautifully. It’s one of the quickest ways to open up a room and create a more breathable feel.

To make the switch easy, I’ve rounded up a few linen drape options to fit different budgets. If you’re after that luxe, airy look, 100% linen panels offer beautiful texture and flow. I also found some great mid-range blends and more affordable styles that still give that soft, breezy feel, perfect for creating a summer-ready space without overspending.

2. Add a Pop of Seasonal Color

Soft neutrals always have their place, but summer is the perfect time to introduce vibrant hues. A splash of ocean blue, coral, or lemon yellow through pillows, throws, or kitchen linens adds a fresh burst of energy without overwhelming your palette.

3. Introduce Natural Materials

Organic textures like rattan, jute, and light woods bring a sense of relaxed sophistication. A woven basket in the entryway, a seagrass tray on the coffee table, or a jute rug underfoot adds warmth and depth while keeping the aesthetic casual but pulled together.

4. Style with Greenery or Summer Florals

Fresh greenery, or even well-placed faux stems, adds life to any room. A small arrangement on the nightstand or kitchen counter instantly lifts the mood and makes your space feel styled but not overdone.

5. Refresh the Bedroom with Lighter Layers

Bedding can have a big impact on how your space feels. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen in lighter tones. Layer with a soft throw or textured blanket for a look that feels both airy and refined.

Seasonal styling doesn’t have to be complicated. With just a few simple swaps and a little intention, you can easily transition your home into summer. Keep it light, natural, and relaxed, and enjoy the space you create.
