Summer is the season of light, a time when the world seems to take a deep breath and relax into longer, lazier days. It’s also the perfect opportunity to refresh your living space to reflect the season’s warm and carefree feeling.

At Haysey Design & Consultancy, we’ve handpicked a selection of living room accessories that capture the essence of summer.

Let’s explore how to bring the brilliance of the season into your home.

1. Light and Airy Vases

To create a summer-ready living room; start by incorporating lighter touches like elegant ceramic vases and vessels which incorporate soft summery colours and textures.

We adore the large dimpled ceramic jar from Marquis & Dawe, which echoes the tranquillity of the sea and invites the brightness of summer days into your space. Place this on a mantle or coffee table as a standout piece that adds an air of sophistication to your room.

Nothing speaks of summer simplicity like the Fleur White Vase by Liang and Eimil.  Its understated elegance is a testament to the power of soft textures and light colours in creating a relaxed summer atmosphere. Pair it with fresh sweet peas or delicate gypsophilia for a truly refreshing look.

2. Summer-Ready Fabrics

Switch out the heavy velvets and chenille’s for lighter, luxury fabrics. Linen and cotton fabrics reflect the warmer weather and add a comfortable, yet elegant touch to your living room.

Vacuum bags are a great storage solution for your winter accessories, making the transition into summer both easy and efficient. Here are some fabulous window voiles for the delicate summery ambiance we love to use by the wonderful Att Pynta:

3. Layered Patterns and Plains

To achieve a summer vibe without clutter, pair plain and patterned cushions in tonal colours that match your decor. This approach from Andrew Martin provides a layered look that is both stylish and inviting.

4. Entertaining Made Chic 

Summer is synonymous with fun gatherings. Make a statement on your coffee table with a playful tray, like the Talasa Tray from Oka, which features a trendy scallop shape. Add a small bud vase with some yellow oncidium orchid stems, or some slightly grey green eucalyptus and a stylish hardback book for an effortlessly chic display.
