Vogue: Summertime Home Decor

As spring continues, a midsummer's night draws nearer, and in just a few weeks, we'll be welcoming the longest days of the year. To prepare for the delightful days of chilled rosé and picnics, we've compiled some tips to update your home, ensuring you'll be fully ready for those enchanting summer soirées on June 21.

The key is to bring the essence of the outdoors inside. Soft palettes inspired by nature, complemented by earthy ceramics, and textured elements like thick woven rugs, create a serene oasis from the summer heat and humidity. By incorporating natural elements such as wood, rattan, and malachite accents, you'll infuse your space with an effortless summer breeziness—one that we all wish could linger well beyond Labor Day.

Decorating for Summer

Refreshing your living space for the summer doesn't require a large budget or extensive time investment. Even the tiniest adjustments, such as adding lightweight throw pillows or incorporating breezy, organic textures, can instantly infuse your home with a fresh and seasonal vibe. These subtle changes can rekindle your love for your space and make it feel rejuvenated.

As the birds chirp and nature starts to bloom, it's the perfect time to consider updating your home for the spring, according to Ami McKay, the president and principal designer of Pure Design. Recently, she had an artist apply a lime wash to her living room walls, which served as inspiration to tidy up and rearrange her furniture.
