Colourful Cushions For Comfort

Refreshing your cushion arrangement not only boosts the comfort of your couch but also offers a simple way to update your home's look for the season. Try pairing neutral-toned cushions with vibrant pops of yellow, blue and green to create a striking contrast that brings in the energy of summer. For added impact, consider mixing in cushions with bold patterns and eye-catching designs. These accents will stand out beautifully against the neutral backdrop, infusing your space with cheerful colour and dynamic style.

Light Throws For A Decorative Touch

A relaxing living space is both refreshing and inviting and is perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. Adding a throw blanket over your sofa or bed instantly enhances the room's tranquillity, inviting relaxation and rest. Create a bright, open space that promotes calm while embracing a cozy, stylish atmosphere.

Our Rohini Linen Throw is sure to be a favoured addition to your living room or bedroom. Available in a range of earthy colour tones, it easily complements a range of decor styles. The earthy colour tones of rust, green and cream are vibrant in their designs, effortlessly brightening up your space. Throws are both incredibly stylish and practical, providing an additional layer of warmth on those cooler summer nights. Opt for throws made from lighter materials such as cotton and linen, as they are breathable in their designs and aren't too overwhelming in warmer weather.

Summer Decor Trends: Eye-Catching Wall Art

Painting your walls in a summer decor colour palette may not be an option for most households. It can be a tiring, time consuming activity and in some rentals, may not be allowed. A way around this is to decorate your home with wall art to bring a lively touch to any blank space.

Vibrant Prints And Elegant Canvases

When shopping for summer wall decor, look for vivid floral prints to breathe new life into any space. They offer a bright decor piece that is perfect for bringing the beautiful colours of summertime into your home. Our Kirsten Katz Bush Banksia and Kirsten Katz Pansie Poppies framed canvases both feature bold and bright colour palettes along with floral designs to offer a charming summer themed artistic piece.

Artwork can also transform the ambience of your space. Our Desert Sun Woman Wall Art boasts a neutral colour palette with a calming design of a woman that promotes rest and relaxation. Its striking design adds visual appeal while enhancing the peaceful and relaxing ambiance of your home.

Art pieces like these are easy to install and instantly elevate your decor in your bedroom, hallway or living room. They can work together to create a particular mood or be displayed by themselves as a standalone work of art.

Plaques And Hangings For A Coastal Charm

Apart from the vivid colour tones of artwork, wall art in neutral hues also brings a summer charm to any room in your home. Wall hangings and plaques in neutral colour tones with faded details exude a coastal accent that's perfect for summer. Coastal themed decor instantly evokes images of serene beaches and tranquil landscapes, creating the perfect backdrop for summer enjoyment and fun! Our plaques and hangings also feature a range of cheerful messaging, which are great for establishing a homely and welcoming environment in your entranceway, living room or dining room.

Elevate Your Space With Rugs

Enhancing your home with practical decor is one of many great summer home decor ideas to elevate your space for summer. Rugs add a stylish, luxurious touch to your home, yet many shy away from them in warmer months due to their thicker materials. However, rugs made from natural fibres like jute and cotton are ideal for keeping rooms cool and comfortable, even in the heat.

The combination of jute and cotton of our Torquay Woven Rug means that it is comfortable underfoot while helping to retain the cool air-conditioned temperature of your room. This rug, along with most jute rugs, boasts a neutral colour tone that is commonly related to coastal decor, making it perfect for bringing a summer style to your home.

A Summertime Table Setting

More obvious summer home decor ideas include eye-catching pieces such as artwork and cushions, however, it's the more subtle pieces that tie in a decorative theme. Infuse your mealtimes with a summer decor touch by elevating your table setting. Placemats, tablecloths and other napery are a great option to protect your dining table while transforming your dining room into a summertime oasis. Think lively botanical prints! Shop for citrus patterns! With a great range of tablecloths, napkins and placemats, our napery range will help to refresh your table setting and bring a summer decor theme into your everyday life.

Reflect Light Around Your Space With Mirrors

When it comes to summer home decor ideas, we think of bright colours and sunlit rooms. While mirrors are stylish, they help a room appear to be larger, bouncing light and reflecting its surroundings. A room that appears larger feels spacious, perfect for summer where feeling cramped can be overwhelming in the warmer weather. Mirrors are available in a range of shapes and styles and can act as an artistic piece of wall art to elevate your space. Mirrors with neutral tones and white coloured hues in the border offer a coastal charm that goes hand in hand with a summer decor theme.

Candles and Home Scents For A Refreshing Summertime Ambience

Citrus and floral scents bring a refreshing summer scent to your space, perfectly finishing off your summer home decor. Your candles can also be paired with candle holders to further complement a summer theme of decorating.
