Sometimes it’s as simple as shifting the feel of a space by swapping heavier textiles for more breathable fabrics or layering natural materials that allow the room to breathe. But many of our products are designed to be loved all year round, effortlessly transitioning from winter to summer and back again. That’s the beauty of natural materials; they can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. Many of our cushions and rugs contain a tactile mix of wool and cotton or wool and jute making them naturally suited to every season. These seasonless staples are designed to shift with your space and support comfort all year round.

Whilst winter calls for heavy fabrics, plush textures and darker colour palettes, summer asks us to shed the weight and swap out cosy cushions, textured throws, and deep-pile rugs for breezy alternatives. However, refreshing your living room for summer doesn’t necessarily mean shopping for new home décor and accessories. Your space can be re-invented for summer by rediscovering what you already have and rotating your existing soft furnishings and textiles. Dig out those wool cushion covers tucked away in storage, a tactile linen throw better suited to warmer evenings, or a natural fibre rug moved in from another room.

Choosing pieces that balance texture with lightness is key to creating a living space that feels grounded without feeling heavy. Heavily textured wooden tables like our Aasha carved mango wood and iron nesting coffee tables are a beautiful example. The natural tone of the woodgrain and the pared-back silhouette add an effortlessly sculptural element to the room. Otherwise, opt for Nakuru iron and glass side table set that will catch the light whilst taking up less visual space. Choosing pieces to anchor the room is incredibly important. For structure, soul and storage, our Ibo reclaimed wood 3-drawer console table works especially well when placed against a wall, layered with unique hand-crafted home décor accessories that tell a story—whether that’s a vintage find, a handmade bowl, or a cluster of nature-inspired ornaments.

To soften the overall palette, our Krissa mango wood and linen sofa offers both comfort and character. The delicate detailing on the frame of the handmade sofa, the texture of the timber, and the breathable fabric work together to create a piece that feels as good as it looks, season after season. None of these pieces demand attention on their own, but together, they tell a story of craftsmanship, intention, and a living room designed to last not just through summer, but through every season.

Refreshing your living space for summer doesn’t require a full redesign, it simply calls for living room ideas curated with intention. A shift in texture here and a softening of light there. We believe in choosing pieces that feel good to live with, not just to look at.

Summer is a season that invites openness, so we see it as a time to pare back and allow the materials, light and atmosphere of the room to do the work. When each piece has been consciously chosen, crafted by hand, made to last, and rooted in natural materials, the space speaks for itself.

Designing for summer is never just about a single season. It’s about creating a home that evolves with you, supports the way you live, and holds its beauty over time. When we lead with longevity and care, we design not just for this moment, but for the many seasons still to come.
