Summer inspiration: Interior and Exterior Design

The change in seasons is an excellent opportunity to mix up your style and create some summer ambience in your home. We’ve chatted with our friends at McKenzie & Willis and have come up with some inspiration for how you can prepare your home as the weather warms up and the entertaining begins.

From interior to exterior, here is some summer inspiration for your home.

Interior

• Soft Sheers can be used to protect our furnishings and filter the strong sunlight. You may even motorised light-filtering blinds.
• Cushions can make a big difference for a low cost – bring in textured linen fabrics in light and breezy colours for summer vibes.
• Bring in touches of the outdoors with indoor plants and fabrics featuring greenery and florals.
• Lighten up bedlinen with a lightweight duvet and add layers like folded espresso blankets to use on extra hot nights, or to add warmth on cooler nights.

Exterior

• Create outdoor rooms with outdoor furniture settings
  • Enjoy the comfort you have indoors in your outdoor area
  • For texture lovers choose the woven product to give you a link from indoors to outdoors
  • Connect your wooden indoor features to outdoors with teak
  • Use cushions and squabs in amazing textured fabrics that feel as soft as an indoor fabric
• An awning or umbrella is a great option to provide shade from the sun.
• Extension dining tables come in handy for those unexpected guests and summer entertaining.
• Pair ceramic tables with white or black chairs for a cool crisp look.
• For a natural look, the Pacific from Harbour is one to look out for. Pair with the Pacific dining chair to match.
• Pop an outdoor rug under your outdoor living spaces for an extra touch of luxury.
