Hey, my decorating dynamo!

So, are you feeling the heat? No, not the summer sun - I'm talking about the pressure to keep up with the seasonal trends in interior styling. I know it can be a bit intimidating, but guess what? You've got this (and I've got your back!).

Picture this: your living room, basking in the soft glow of the summer evening light, adorned with fashionable décor items that spell out 'Now, this is an intentional home'. Amazing, isn't it?

The key? Balance.

You see, the trick is all about balance. Not too sparse, but not overly done either. Think 'intentional clutter'. All right, all right, I know what you're thinking, 'clutter' is generally bad news. But hear me out. Woven wicker baskets teaming with fluffy throw pillows, a beautiful Turkish rug here, an amber glass candle holder there. Can you imagine that? It's controlled, focused, and carefully staged to create harmony.

Let's Lighten Things Up!

First off, let’s lighten up your space. Summer’s all about embracing brightness, so put away any dark winter pieces. Think light fabrics, neutral hues for your couch throws and a soft fresh colored linen table runner. Oh, and speaking of brightness, why not enhance those glorious sunbeams with shiny accents? Talk about a glow-up!

Get into the Vine of Things

Next – bring the outdoors, in! No, I'm not suggesting you haul a birch tree into your dining room. A couple of well-placed hanging plants or a lovely fiddle leaf fig can do wonders! Grace and Ashes has some outstanding minimalist planters that would look right at home in your new summer paradise. Trust me, your indoor air will love you for it, too.

It's All in the Details

Finally, sprinkle your personal touch – a quirky ceramic vase, vintage bookstore finds, shells from your last beach trip, or a funky printed cushion. Unleash your personality, after all, you’re the one living there! Grace and Ashes is a trove of these small gems that transform a house into an intentional home. So, have I got your creative juices flowing?

And there you have it, my friend—a home that's ready to welcome the summer with open arms (and windows!). So, what do you think? Ready to take on summer interior styling? Your oasis awaits. Explore more pieces in our collection that’ll make you want to sip on cool lemonade and enjoy your breezy home. Happy decorating!
