As the sun lingers longer in the sky and warm breezes drift through open windows, the upcoming summer season brings with it a sense of ease, lightness, and joy. At Andrea Schumacher Interiors, we believe your home should echo the season—not only with a fresh palette but with a refreshed perspective.
1. The Indoor-Outdoor Connection
One of our favorite summer styling tricks is to blur the line between inside and out. Think indoor plants in sculptural planters, breezy furniture arrangements near open doors, or even styling your outdoor space with the same thoughtfulness as your interiors. A curated patio with layered rugs, plush cushions, and ambient lighting extends your living space and your summer enjoyment.
2. A Color Refresh
Think sun-washed pastels, ocean-inspired hues, and crisp whites paired with organic neutrals. This season, we’re loving Mediterranean blues, sage greens, and citrusy pops—colors that conjure vacations, garden blooms, and seaside escapes. These can be woven into your home through accent pillows, art, or even a boldly painted powder room.
3. Texture Tells the Story
Summer invites a more relaxed, tactile approach. Mix in natural textures like rattan, cane, raw wood, jute, or terracotta. These add depth and warmth without overwhelming a space. A woven pendant light over a dining table or a raffia-wrapped mirror can create that effortless vacation-home feel.
4. Floral, But Make It Modern
Florals in summer are always a yes—but let’s give them a twist. Go for oversized prints, unexpected colorways, or even abstract botanical motifs. Whether it’s in wallpaper, custom upholstery, or simply a gorgeous bouquet on your entryway console, florals remind us to celebrate life’s beauty in bloom.
5. Embrace the Light
Summer is synonymous with light. Let it in! Sheer drapery panels, light-filtering roman shades, and natural woven blinds invite sunlight while maintaining privacy. If you’re looking for a more dramatic transformation, consider swapping heavy textiles for lighter materials like linen or cotton in soft creams, blushes, or whispery blues.
6. Less Clutter, More Breathing Room
Summer interiors should feel like a deep exhale. Now is a perfect time to edit your space, pare down accessories, and allow each piece to shine. Minimalism doesn’t mean cold—it means intentional. Curated vignettes, open surfaces, and thoughtful negative space can feel both luxurious and liberating.
Whether you’re dreaming of a breezy retreat or simply craving a seasonal refresh, our team at Andrea Schumacher Interiors is here to help you bring the beauty of summer into every corner of your home. Let’s create spaces that feel like a vacation—without ever leaving your doorstep.
Let the sun in, and let your home glow.
