We’re happier than a fireman at a BBQ to finally be soaking up our fair share of sunshine. You know why? Because this warm weather is our cue to switch out our closets from winter warmth to summer style. And as our wardrobes change, so should our interiors. Swap those faux fur blankets with lightweight cashmere throws. Likewise, toss the velvet throw pillows in a closet and replace them with a lighter linen version.
Sound about right? Check out a few more of our select wardrobe & home design style refresh pairs.
Summer Looks For Home & Fashion
Paired Patterns
[df_row][col-md-6]
Pairing patterns in fresh and bright colors with accessories in a darker color takes an outfit from super feminine to modern and cool. When doing this in your home, experiment with wallpaper and paint for visual interest. This will make your home feel light and fresh, but it’s something that can easily transition from season to season.
Flirting With Floral
[df_row][col-md-6]
There is something about the warmer weather that encourages women to try out something ultra feminine. A beautiful floral pattern mixed with pinks and bright colors is perfect for a garden party or an outdoor wedding. In order to not let your home feel your grandmother’s sitting room, you can add in feminine colors around a neutral main item such as a sofa. Play with feminine lamps, throw pillows, and decor. Mixing patterns will take this from shabby chic to magazine editorial.
Bold Stripes & Summer Style

If you do not currently own a stripe dress for summer, stop reading and snag one immediately. This is a staple that every woman should have in her closet. Pair with sandals or Converse. At night, throw on a denim jacket or an oversized knit cardigan and you will be cozy and stylish. When it comes to the interior of your home and doing nautical design, the best approach is to use the beachy accents sparingly and to add cool photography, a bold stripe on a chair, a pouf, or throw pillows, and accessories with gold.
Embellished Beauty

If you gravitate towards neutrals in your wardrobe, try adding interest with embellishments or a unique neckline. This way you can change a look easily from day to night with bolder make up and beautiful accessories. Keeping a room neutral is a great way to transition from season to season with the addition of fresh flowers or some fun accent pieces. Otherwise, neutrals will keep a room feeling cool when you can fry an egg on the sidewalk.
Summer is a time to freshen up your wardrobe as well as freshen up your home. The days grow longer, and it gives us more of an opportunity to spend time with our friends and family and celebrate each day we don’t have to wear a coat.
