Extend the Essence of Summer at Home

As summer winds down, there's a bittersweet feeling of wanting to cling to those carefree, sun-drenched days just a little longer. The great news is that you can carry the essence of summer into your home with a few simple styling touches. Here's how to keep that warm, relaxed vibe alive year-round.

Bring Natural Elements Into Your Summer Styling

One of the simplest ways to create a summer-inspired atmosphere is by incorporating natural elements. Think fresh blooms, lush greenery, pale timber accents, or pieces made from rattan. These touches instantly evoke the Australian summer aesthetic. And speaking of greenery...

Add Plants for a Fresh, Summery Feel

Introducing plants into your home is an effortless way to bring a summery, outdoorsy vibe indoors. Not only do plants add texture and natural beauty to your décor, but they also improve air quality and enhance your well-being. Choose low-maintenance varieties that thrive in bright, indirect light conditions. Succulents, peace lilies, and hardy snake plants are all perfect choices to keep your home feeling fresh and vibrant.

Styling with Stripes for a Beachside Vibe

Nothing says summer quite like the classic striped patterns seen on beach umbrellas and awnings. These can evoke memories of lounging under an umbrella at Bondi Beach or relaxing poolside on a sunny day. Incorporating striped cushions into your décor is a simple and impactful way to capture that summery beachside aesthetic. Bonus: they're easy to switch out for seasonal updates.

Embrace Light and Airy Fabrics

The hot Aussie summer calls for cool, breathable fabrics. Styling with materials like linen, cotton, or bamboo not only helps your home stay comfortable but also creates a breezy and inviting atmosphere. Use these fabrics for throw blankets, curtains, or even cushion covers to keep the summer vibe alive.

Create a Cosy Outdoor Space

Australia's stunning weather makes outdoor spaces an essential extension of your home. Whether it's a balcony, a backyard, or a patio, you can design a cosy and functional outdoor area to enjoy the fresh air. Think comfortable seating, outdoor rugs, and pops of colour with cushions. This space will quickly become your favourite spot for relaxing with a book or entertaining friends.
