The Great Summer Switch-Up Get set for summer with five easy ways to rejuvenate your home
Words by Ben Olsen
Bring the Outdoors In
Whether or not you own a garden, now’s the time to embrace the positive effects of plants. Add vases, planters and terrariums to your living space and fill them with vibrant seasonal blooms. Not only will they look good but they’ll also bring the natural fragrance and zen appeal of the great outdoors inside your home.
Spruce Up Soft Furnishings
An effective way to tap into this season’s interiors trends without making wholesale changes is by updating your cushions, curtains and tablecloths. Let your sofa act as a blank canvas and add pops of colour and on-point geometric and tropical prints.
Pick a New Seasonal Scent
The mood-boosting effects of scent on the mind are well-documented and one of the easiest ways to lift your living space is by adopting a new room fragrance. Light a scented candle - we love L’Objet’s Apothecary range - and let its healing properties do the rest.
Breathe Life Into the Bedroom
The perfect fabric for summer, linen is lightweight, breathable and feels great against the skin. As the temperature rises, invest in a luxurious set of tactile sheets to keep your bedroom feeling soft and soothing.
Get Set For Summer Dining
With longer evenings on the way, it’s time to up your entertaining game. This summer, adopt a Mediterranean approach to dining and choose statement sharing plates, salad bowls and smart white and blue ceramic tableware for memorable evenings with friends.
