Summer Styling Tips From Sallie Lord of GreyHunt Interiors

Focus On Statement Pieces
Choose one or two eye-catching items per room. This could be a vibrant blue vase in the dining area or a colorful lamp in the bedroom. Let these pieces shine without overwhelming the space.

Keep It Light & Bright
Opt for crisp white linens in bedrooms and light-colored accessories throughout the house. This creates a fresh, airy feel that's perfect for summer.

Bring The Outdoors In
Use colors and textures that remind you of nature. Consider adding some potted plants or fresh flowers to bring life to your rooms.

Simplify Your Decor
Summer is about feeling relaxed and unburdened. Remove clutter and keep surfaces clean with just a few carefully chosen items.

Allow Natural Light In
Open your curtains or blinds to allow sunlight to flood your rooms. If privacy is a concern, use sheer curtains to maintain a bright atmosphere.

Add Pops Of Color
Introduce small bursts of bright colors through accessories like throw pillows, towels, or artwork. Citrus hues like lemon yellow can instantly evoke a summery feel.

Play With Textures
Mix different materials like woven baskets, smooth ceramics, and soft textiles to add depth to your rooms without overwhelming them.

Create A Holiday Vibe
Place a few items that remind you of vacation, like a straw hat or a beach-themed book, in visible spots around your home.

Remember, the goal is to create a space that feels refreshing and relaxing. You don't need to completely redecorate – small changes can make a big difference in how your home feels during the summer months.
