Fresh Starts at Home: Effortless Ways to Refresh Your Space for Summer
As the days grow longer and brighter, there’s something about the start of summer that inspires a refresh. Whether it’s swapping out cozy textures for airy fabrics or adding a touch of color with seasonal florals, now is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home.
At Willow, we believe small changes can make the biggest difference. Here are a few simple, thoughtful ways to welcome the season and make your space feel fresh, light, and effortlessly summer-ready.
Swap Heavy Textures for Lightweight Summer Home Accents
Swap out heavier winter accents for lightweight, breathable materials. Think cotton throws, woven baskets, and hand-loomed textiles in soft neutrals. A linen pillow or rattan tray can quickly elevate a room without feeling overdone.
Use Seasonal Scents to Refresh Your Home for Summer
A simple candle or diffuser in a scent like citrus blossom, sea salt, or fresh linen can instantly shift the mood of your home. Scents have a way of capturing the essence of summer: clean, fresh, and full of possibility. Our Sea Salt Grapefruit Reed Diffuser captures it perfectly.
Style with Natural Elements for a Warm Weather Touch
One of the easiest ways to update your home is to bring the outdoors in. Add a bouquet of wildflowers to the entryway, place a few cut branches in a ceramic vase, or style your shelves with found stones and shells. It’s these organic touches that make a space feel relaxed and intentional.
Declutter and Curate for a Clean Summer Look
Summer is the season of simplicity. Take a moment to edit your shelves, tabletops, and counters. Keep only what you love, and leave room for the eye to rest. A well-styled nook with just a few beautiful pieces can feel more luxurious than a crowded one. Refreshing your coffee table books always sets the scene for the season you're in. We are currently loving Hydrangeas: Beautiful Varieties for Home & Garden.
Add Subtle Pops of Summer Color to Your Home
Introduce subtle pops of seasonal color, whether through artwork, linens, or tabletop pieces. Soft sage, coastal blue, and sun-washed peach can all create a serene summer palette without overwhelming your space.
