Get your property ready for summer with stylish, colourful furniture and décor that brightens up any home. Statement sofa cushions, patterned chairs, unique-shaped coffee tables, and bold rugs will spice up any empty space - indoors or out. One of the easiest ways to implement this design trend is to swap out your heavy throw and winter cushions for lighter, brighter ones. You can produce a pop of colour and bring a summer appearance to your home by replacing the decorative sofa cushions with colours that demonstrate a light, breezy summer feel, such as sunny yellows and luscious greens.
Colourful outdoor paint
Remember, this year’s statement colour trend isn’t just reserved for indoor space; transform your tired outdoor area with a vibrant splash of paint. Achieve this by painting tired outdoor fences or benches, plant pots, or even your front door. This will give your home an inviting sense of character and summer fun. To receive a beautiful finish when adding a splash of colour to your outdoor space, make sure you sand down the surfaces, then paint them with a coat of primer and two coats of your desired summer colour. This will allow the outdoor paint to remain fun and fresh all summer season.
Seasonal items and vignettes

As a homeowner, it is very common to have storage spaces located throughout your home. This summer, it's all about bringing those spaces to life by adding decorative items and seasonal charm to shelves and cupboards. You can switch out the styled vignettes to match the current seasons. For summer, you could place a perfectly positioned bouquet of fresh flowers, decorative seashells or driftwood, and a summery-scented candle, showcasing a clean, airy look that incorporates the season.
Bringing the outdoor in
This trend will forever remain throughout the years, as there is nothing nicer than bringing the fresh outdoors inside the comfort of your home. Plants, flowers, and any type of greenery to create a beautiful appearance and freshness in the air, improving your indoor air quality and making your home healthier. Start a windowsill herb garden or begin your bathroom cacti collection, as there is nothing more lovely than taking care of your own plants and watching them thrive.
Creating an outdoor living room

As much as bringing the outdoors in is trending, creating a serene outdoor living room space is also a summer trend, allowing you to relax surrounded by your garden. By creating an outdoor living room, you are able to extend your living space and make the most of the summery months, creating the perfect space for entertaining in the summer. Assess your outdoor furniture and upgrade it if it feels outdated or worn. Consider investing in new outdoor pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and durable for the English weather. By choosing weather-resistant outdoor furniture, the pieces will last longer while maintaining their fashionable look. Don’t forget to make the space cosy by adding fairy lights, decorative pillows, and blankets that provide a personalised element.
Incorporate natural materials
Bring texture to empty spaces with natural materials in furniture and décor. Swap out heavy, synthetic elements for more organic options like wood, stone, bamboo, and linen. These materials provide a lighter, more grounded look, especially in the summer season, as they introduce a natural, neutral feel to your living space. You can further enhance the theme by adding smaller details that incorporate natural materials. Accents as simple as woven baskets, clay pots, neutral stone accent features, and wooden picture frames can tie the entire look together. You could even collect old wine or gin bottles and add battery fairy lights inside to create depth in the featured spaces.
