Styling Your Home for Summer
Summer in Dallas means longer days, sunny skies, and the perfect excuse to refresh your home! At House Sprucing, we love helping our clients bring seasonal energy into their spaces—and summer is the perfect time to do just that. Whether you're hosting backyard get-togethers or just want your home to feel lighter and brighter, these tips will help you style your space like a designer.
Here’s how to give your home that effortless summer glow:
1. Lighten Up Your Textiles
Swap out heavy throws, dark pillows, and thick rugs for lighter, breezier fabrics. Think linen, cotton, and lightweight knits in soft neutrals or summer-inspired hues like warm white, sandy beige, or soft sage.
Designer Tip: Add a few pillows in muted pastels or coastal blues for a fresh, seasonal pop.
2. Bring the Outdoors In
Summer is all about nature, so bring some of that beauty indoors. Fresh greenery, potted plants, or even a simple vase of seasonal blooms can instantly liven up a space.
Try This: Place a tall vase of eucalyptus on your kitchen island or a bowl of lemons on the counter for that effortless, lived-in look.
3. Refresh Your Entryway
Your entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home—so give it a quick summer refresh! A new rug, updated artwork, or a bowl for sunglasses and keys adds both style and function.
4. Declutter & Simplify
Summer is all about laid-back living. Take a cue from that mindset and remove anything that feels too heavy or cluttered. Clear off surfaces, edit accessories, and let your home breathe.
Quick Win: Try restyling your shelves with fewer items and more negative space for a clean, relaxed vibe.
5. Switch Up Scents
Fragrance plays a huge role in how your home feels. In summer, trade spicy or woodsy candles for fresh, citrusy, or herbal scents. It’s an easy way to reset the mood of your home.
Local Favorite: Try a candle with notes of lemon, basil, or lavender to make your space feel like a summer retreat.
6. Let There Be (Natural) Light
Make the most of that Texas sunshine! Open up those curtains, opt for sheer window treatments, and let the light pour in. Natural light makes any room feel more spacious and cheerful.
✨Mirror Trick: Hang mirrors across from windows to bounce light around the room and brighten darker corners.
