Embracing Summer: Turning Your Home into a Cool Coastal Retreat

Hey there, summer! We see you and those temps rising got us dreaming of spaces filled with breezy vibes and loads of sunlight. You know, the kind that just screams 'summer is here!' The good news is, we don't have to just dream about it. With a few easy design tweaks, we can bring that relaxed, coastal calm right into our homes, making them the perfect spot to unwind during these hot summer days. Now let’s start living that summer dream!

Embrace Neutrals and Earth Tones

Alright, let's dive into color first. Picture summer in your mind. What do you see? The softness of sandy beaches, the crisp blue of the ocean, lush green plants all around, right? Now imagine bringing those summer vibes right into your home. Start with a base of whites and soft neutrals. Next, add in some cool blues and greens for a refreshing touch. A bit of natural wood will keep things grounded and warm.

The Linen Love Affair

Now, let's talk about our summer superstar – linen. I mean, is there anything better for summer? It's light, it breathes, and in those soft, sandy colors, it's just so beach-chic. Linen drapes or upholstery give your rooms this cool, airy feel, helping the place stay fresh even when it's toasty outside. Plus, the way linen drapes let in that mellow, warm sunlight? It's just dreamy. Picture your sofa dressed in a linen slipcover or a comfy linen throw just waiting for you on your favorite reading chair.

Relishing in Rattan

Next up are our besties, rattan and wicker. There's just something about their unique textures and earthy tones that instantly transports you to the coast. They're light, durable, and they've got that cool, relaxed summer feel all wrapped up. Now, imagine a rattan coffee table in your living room or a wicker chair on your porch. These pieces aren't just tough under the summer sun, they also add a dash of subtle elegance, effortlessly elevating the style of your spaces.

Tying it Together Here at Tiffany Lauer Interiors, we're all about creating beautiful, relaxing spaces that not only look beautiful but also reflect the charm of the changing seasons. And let's be honest, there's something really special about a space that captures those dreamy summer vibes, don't you think?
