As the warmth of the sun starts to make its way back into our lives, there is no better time to refresh your home for summer. Whether you’re looking to brighten your indoor living areas or create an inviting outdoor space that’s perfect for social gatherings, there are plenty of summer home decorations and accessories to help you along the way.

In this guide, you’ll learn about the benefits of a seasonal home refresh, why decorating your home for summer is a fantastic idea, as well as ways to get the job done with Angela Reed’s huge range of quality products.


The Benefits of a Seasonal Home Refresh

One of the best things about refreshing your home décor for different seasons is that it can help to align your living spaces with the world outside. Whether you’re mirroring the freshness of spring, the vibrancy of summer, the rich hues of autumn, or the cosiness of winter, a seasonal home refresh can elevate the aesthetics and functionality of your home to create an inviting place to live year-round. 

Why Decorate Your Home for Summer?

Decorating your home for summer is a great way to breathe new life into your living spaces. This can involve incorporating products that embrace the season’s characteristics, such as brightness, warmth, freshness, and even fun.


Must-Have Summer Products

When it comes to selecting products for a summer refresh, there are lots of options available. The best choices for you will depend on both your style preferences and desired functionality. For a great place to start, consider some of the following examples:


Welcoming Outdoor Spaces

For many of us, summer presents the best opportunity to spend time outdoors, and that includes our gardens. Whether you’re planning to relax with a book in the sunshine or invite friends over for a barbecue, it’s always a good idea to consider comfortable seating.

For a more casual setting, you could choose the Mighty B-Bag , which is not only incredibly comfortable but is also covered in a durable, waterproof fabric to ensure longevity outdoors. However, if you’d prefer some more robust seating options, the Nassau Garden Chairs are an excellent choice for summer. They’re ergonomically designed, so you can spend lots of time sitting on them in the garden, and are available in several sunshine-friendly colours, including Peony, Sage, and Honey.


Bright Living Room

Giving your living room a summer makeover is incredibly easy. One of the best ways to match your interior with the season is to introduce bright colours. For example, you might consider upgrading your sofa cushions, with the Yellow and Grey Velvet Pompom providing a vibrant splash of colour. Another option for the living room is to add a selection of artwork to spruce up the walls. A fantastic choice here would be the Italian Summer design by Allayn Stevens , which includes three stunning images of Italian landscapes.


Modern Kitchen

When it comes to the kitchen, a summer refresh can involve both decorative and functional additions. For example, you can easily freshen up a kitchen table with a light-coloured tablecloth, such as the Elsie Hand Block Print , which is available in Olive and Plaster Pink. Furthermore, if you’re planning to serve ice-cold drinks to friends and family, you might consider a Glass Confetti Jug , which can also be displayed as a decorative accent to the kitchen.


Seasonal Table Settings

Summer provides a great opportunity to get creative with your table settings. For a modern decorative option that can also hold lots of fresh fruits, the Trio Bowl is a fantastic choice. One of the benefits of this bowl is that it’s large enough to be functional, but also provides a mirror effect from the stainless steel, creating playful reflections of your living space.


Contemporary Lighting

If you’re planning to host social events outdoors, it’s worth considering what type of tone you’d like to set in the evening. For example, a Solar Lantern Chain provides a great ambience that will keep your garden feeling inviting long after the sun sets. You can also add elements of summer to your indoor lighting, with options like the Bumblebees Fabric Lamp providing soft evening light with stunning bees and flower heads.


Personal Touches

Your home provides an opportunity to reflect your personality, so incorporating items that meet your style preferences is a great way to ensure that you always feel comfortable in your surroundings. If you’re someone who enjoys splashes of colour in the summer months, you could consider artwork that grabs attention, such as the Hebridean Waters piece by Scott Naismith, which brings a fresh vibe to any space.
