As the days get longer and the sun lingers a little later each evening, it’s the perfect time to bring the light, relaxed feeling of summer into your home. At Becki Owens, we believe that design should evolve with the seasons—fresh, effortless, and always beautiful.
Here are five easy ways to refresh your space for summer with subtle updates that make a big impact.
1. Layer in Lightweight Textiles
Swap out heavy throws and dark-toned pillows for gauzy linen or cotton blends in soft neutrals and breezy prints. Think coastal blues, sun-washed terracottas, and creamy whites. A lightweight throw draped casually over the sofa or a bed instantly lightens the mood.
Tip: Our favorite summer textiles often include hand-blocked prints or natural textures like slub cotton and washed linen.
2. Update Your Entryway with Natural Materials
Your entryway sets the tone for the whole home. Consider adding a woven and rattan elements like baskets for storage, or a natural fiber rug to bring in that effortless, organic texture. A vase of seasonal greenery—like olive branches or eucalyptus—adds a fresh, welcoming vibe.
3. Style Your Shelves with Summer-Inspired Decor
It’s the little things that elevate a space. Replace layered books and ceramics with a few curated summer finds: consider tone on tone soft styling, or a coastal-inspired art piece. Keeping it minimal allows light to bounce around and gives shelves room to breathe.
4. Bring the Outdoors In
Nothing says summer like fresh flowers and greenery. Whether it’s a large fiddle leaf fig, fresh citrus branches in the kitchen, or a small bouquet of greens in a vase, nature adds life and color to every corner of your home.
Designer Favorite: Oversized branches in a statement vase are an easy, affordable way to bring drama to a dining table or console or desktop.
5. Embrace the Power of Scent
Don’t underestimate the influence of a summer-inspired scent. Our Pura line of home scents effortlessly keep your home smelling amazing for the season. Explore our collection that includes in beachy coconut, and citrus undertones. It instantly transforms the mood and makes your home feel like a serene escape.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a full renovation to welcome the season—just a few intentional updates can completely change the way your space feels. At Becki Owens, we’re always inspired by simplicity, comfort, and timeless beauty.
