Summer Home Interior & Decor Ideas for Summer

4 Summer decor ideas for your home

1. Play with woven textures

Nothing says summer design like wicker furniture, woven baskets, and the texture of linen. Bring these textures into your home decor for summer to elevate your summer home design. You can incorporate accessories into your space, play with textural variety in your blankets, curtains, and pillows, and even bring this woven feel to your walls with grasscloth wallpaper. Our eco-friendly wall coverings come in a range of textures and finishes to give your space a year-round elevated feel. A soft, bright, thick weave like Paperweave Puff can bring a coziness to the space, whereas a more neutral tone (like Jute Puka) can bring that natural wood, woven feel that can play off other basket accessories in your room decor for summer. 

 

2. Turn up the volume on color

When thinking about your summer home interior design, color can really set the tone for a bright, playful space. A bold color palette with beachy blues, pinks, greens, and yellows can be the basis for modern summer house interior ideas, whereas a pastel palette can lean toward a more classic look. When considering grasscloth wallpaper, look for bold statement options in our selection of blues such as Sisal Lazulite or Jute Halyard. If you’re looking for a pastel tone, consider Sisal Blush, Arrowroot Honeydew, or Sisal Fennel. 

 

3. Blend the indoor and outdoor

Summer is all about letting the breeze in, and living swiftly between your indoor and outdoor spaces. Unite your summer home design by tying together elements in your patio with the inside of your home. With your summer home interior design, take inspiration from your plants and greenery outdoors, and use that within your home, so that the boundary between the two spaces is blurred. Bring floral arrangements, patterns, and textures indoors, and incorporate your textile choices from the living spaces into your outdoor furniture. Finally, use music and sound to blend the spaces so you truly live outdoors all summer long. 

 

4. Use bold, beachy patterns

Picking your summer home interior design is your time to get experimental and have fun with your pattern choices. Go bold, choose bright colors, and incorporate all the stripes, polka dots, flowers, and funky patterns that you’ve always dreamed about.

What colors are good for summer houses?

If you have a separate summer home, you get even more room to play with your home decor for summer and can even experiment with bold colors on the exterior of the home. Whereas you likely wouldn’t paint your main home a bright yellow just for the summer season, with your summer home, you can choose a color by taking inspiration from your local surroundings. In beachy towns, homes can be painted bright teals, pastel yellows, or sage greens. For homes in the woods or on a lake, you can play with different types of wood stains for a more natural look. Select your finish based on the neighborhood, local culture, and natural surroundings.

 

How do you make a summer house cozy?

We tend to associate coziness with the winter season and its flannels, warm blankets, and crackling fireplaces. But in your summer home interior design, you can foster this same intimacy and comfort in your space without actually raising the temperature. To keep your summer home cozy, incorporate strategic lighting into your summer home design. This can include citronella candles, and interior/exterior fairy lights that set the mood starting at sundown. Layer your furniture with lightweight pillows to foster comfort in your summer home decor, bringing that warmth that we love in the winter.

What is the best house design for a hot climate?

In a hot climate, your main objective is keeping cool. And when thinking about your summer home interior design, you should always have that in mind. This means ventilation is key, even if the home doesn’t have central air conditioning. Cross ventilation, open windows, and fans will keep air moving throughout the space during the cooler hours of the day. Keep lightweight curtains closed during the sunny periods to keep the heat out (this will also protect your grasscloth wallpaper from light exposure). An open floor plan makes it easiest to cultivate a breeze, but even in older homes, you can achieve an airy feel when you make the most of your windows and doors.
