Summer style: How to update your home decor

While Florida is blessed with beautiful weather all year long, sprucing up your space for summer is still an instant
mood booster. After all, it’s as much a state of mind as it is a season!

We’ve come up with a few ideas to give your interiors an easy refresh for some serious vacation vibes, from
slipcovered sofas to outdoor dining tables.

Keep It Light

Neutrals like white, cream, taupe and gray invite light into the room and instantly brighten up your space. And
these hues get along with everything, so they’re an excellent choice for creating a foundation you can build upon
to bring in that summertime flavor.

You can add color in the form of decorative items or textiles, choosing warm, happy tones like yellows and corals
to uplift and energize. Or opt for a sea of greens and blues to help you feel calm and connected.

Slipcovered furnishings, such as the McCreary Modern Sofa, bring a laid-back look to spaces. Summer is
synonymous with easy living, and nothing is easier than the relaxed sensibility and carefree convenience
of slipcovers – simply remove to clean.

You can’t go wrong with a seasonal favorite of pairing crisp white with blue. Swap out your dark wood side table for
one like the Capris. A shelf below offers space for a stack of books or a seagrass basket, while the teak tabletop in a
natural finish provides the perfect perch for a glass table lamp in seaglass shades.

Show Your Stripes

Give a nod to the nautical (without going overboard) with the Uttermost Galiot Accent Chair. Blue and white
organically striped fabric brings in that coastal feel, while solid wood legs in a dreamy driftwood-inspired f
inish anchor the look.

The silhouette has a great transitional style that fits both classic and contemporary interiors, balancing a traditional
wingback design with thin arms that have more of a modern edge.

Photo Swap

Travel the world from the comfort of your couch by changing out your wall decor for images of your favorite destinations.
Or download those vacation photos from your phone and frame them to create a gallery on the wall as a reminder of
all the wonderful places you’ve visited over the years.

For added punch, center a mirror on the wall, and arrange framed art or photos around it. Mirrors can instantly
make small spaces feel bigger while also creating a focal point in the room.

With its tactile, cork-like frame, the Surfrider Mirror evokes an effortless elegance that epitomizes the casual
confidence of beach living.

Take It Outside

Nothing says summer like outdoor entertaining. Relish in long sunny days that fade into cooler evenings by moving
the party outdoors. Create a little mood lighting by crisscrossing globe lights overhead or string paper lanterns
on tree branches.

With its crisp white frame and plush upholstered cushions, the Tybee Sofa has a simple, modern profile that lends itself
to piles of colorful pillows and lightweight cotton throws. We especially love the greige wicker detailing that adds
touches of seaside-inspired flair.

Place some low seating options, like the Uttermost Malibu Pouf, strategically around a coffee table to accommodate
unexpected guests. Boucle and chenille yarns in creamy off-white and soothing blue and aqua instantly add interest
to your conversation area. The beanbag fill is supportive enough to sit on but also creates a comfortable place
to prop up your feet.

Time to Dine

Set the perfect table for summer soirees with accent dishes and table linens that bring plenty of pattern and color
to your next brunch or dinner gathering.

Consider purchasing some party-proof dinnerware and glasses made of melamine or acrylic. Then, create a
no-fuss centerpiece by arranging glass bottles in varying heights and hues or a candlescape set atop a serving tray.

The Seneca Dining Table is an expansive piece of furniture that can accommodate a crowd, thanks to thin legs that
allow easy placement of chairs or benches. It also includes a hole at the center to hold an umbrella when extra shade
is needed.

A fusion of curves and angles, our Del Mar Dining Chair perfectly complements the streamlined design of Seneca,
with a shapely wicker body finished in gray.

For the Love of Linen

At the end of a busy, sun-filled day, there’s nothing better than drifting off to sleep surrounded by cool, comfortable bedding.

A perennial warm-weather favorite, breathable (and moisture-wicking) linen helps regulate your body temperature,
so you stay cool in the summer. It also has a lovely laid-back look and relaxed feel that only gets better with time.

We love how this natural fabric rests atop the Organic Modern Natalia Bed. The wood-backed natural cane headboard
and footboard are set in a beautifully arched iron frame with a vintage black finish.
