10 Ways to Update for Summer

Hello, summer! A change of season calls for a change of looks, and it doesn’t take much to revamp and refresh your spaces. Get excited for long nights, sunny days and plenty of opportunities to entertain with these ways to update your home for warm weather.

An accent or gallery wall is an affordable (and easy!) way to transform a room. With the help of a few of your favorite paintings, photographs, illustrations or found pieces, you can make the space come alive in an afternoon or less. Add some dimension to the look, and show off your personal style, with our Framed Leaf Wall Art or Rustic Metal Letters. Feel like a larger, eye-catching update? Check out our tips for creating your own gallery wall at home!

Entertaining season is on the horizon, making this the perfect time to update your table with unbreakable dinnerware made for outdoor fun. Summer is all about going casual, mixing in fun salad plates with bold designs, (like our adorable Lemon Enamel Salad Plates), or decking out your spread with some whimsy, like our fabulous Under The Sea Critter Salad Plates.


Want to go big with your summertime home update? Find a statement piece that will stand out season after season, like our classic PB Comfort Sofa. With its cozy extra-deep cushions, this collection is ideal for movie marathons and hosting friends all year long. It’s also our most customizable – choose your arm style, cushion style, fill and fabric to make it yours.


Hot days call for color! Transition your space with colorful pillows and throws. Add some dimension by playing with scale – from rectangular to square, big to small. Don’t be afraid to play with patterns, too. Choose a harmonious color palette, and you can’t go wrong.

Instantly change the look of any room in your home with a rug that signals the season. A natural fiber indoor/outdoor rug can take heavy foot traffic in stride and can lighten up the room with its neutral shade, or you can opt for a bold design (like our Lily Recycled Yarn Indoor/Outdoor Rug) that will become the star of the space.

There’s no better time to clear the clutter and get organized – and relax with peace of mind. Customize a handy Daily System to suit all of your organizational needs, or clear your space with wicker baskets that double as storage and stylish décor.

Want to dream up a new look for your bedroom? All it takes is a few swaps on your bedside table to breathe new life into the room. Try stacking a few of your favorite books, and add in a coastal-inspired flickering candle in a seaside scent. Top it off with a Resin Replica Conch Shell, and you’ll be summer-ready in no time.

Revamp your coffee table with natural elements and living accents, like seasonal flowers. We love using our Live Edge Dough Bowl to house decorative accessories, or as a landing pad for remote controls. Create a fresh focal point with gorgeous candleholders in varying sizes – the possibilities are endless!

Not too heavy, not too light – just right. With the right fabrics and bedding basics, you can sleep comfortably during the warm months without sacrificing coziness or style. Refresh with hotel-style sheets, like our Grand Organic Sheet Set, and a silky Belgian Flax Linen Quilt, and consider a hue that lightens and brightens the room.

From the fabric you select to the hardware that pulls it all together, window treatments are an opportunity to transform a space and define the room’s style. Swap out dark shades for a breezy new linen drape, and be sure to reference our quick guide on how to hang them). Now it’s time to kick back, relax and soak up summer.
