8 SUMMERY DESIGN UPDATES

Summer is coming! And there's no better way to get in the mood than by giving your home a fresh new look. Sprucing up your space is easier than you might think. All it takes is a few pops of colour in the form of eye-catching accent pieces: we're all over Mediterranean blues, sunshine yellows and gelato tones. If subtlety is more your vibe, bring in a light and airy seat (Bloomingville's Grey chair, below, is our favourite) or simply give your home a summery scent by lighting a candle.
