Summer Home Refresh: 8 Tips to Transition Your Home from Spring to Summer in Style | Redfin

Spring had its moment—cue the tulips and rainy days—but now it’s summer’s turn to shine. That means it’s time to swap out those cozy throws and pastel florals for something a little sunnier, lighter, and yes, way more fun. Whether you’re a summer lover, trying to survive the heat in your apartment, or are embracing the bright colors in your rental home, these tips will help you give your home that effortless seasonal glow-up.

Tip 3: Spend Time Refreshing Your Outdoor Space

Summer is made for slowing down, soaking up the sun, and savoring every breeze, and your outdoor space should reflect that easygoing spirit. “The best way to make your outdoor area feel like a true living room is to create a distinct space,” states interior designer Adriena Daunt at Montana-based Daunt Designs. 

“Rather than patio furniture floating in your yard, make use of pavers, decking, outdoor rugs, lighting, and planter boxes to create a visual border for the ‘room’,” Daunt continues. “Then add all the accessories and furnishings you’d use in an interior space such as pillows, throws, and side tables, all in summer interior design colors and textures.” 

One easy and impactful way to refresh your setup is by updating your outdoor kitchen and dining essentials. “A summer home refresh can be as simple as stocking up on outdoor dining ware, think melamine plates and drinking glasses in fun colors and patterns, to get you motivated for those al fresco dinners,” recommends Christina Halverson, founder and lead designer of Allis Interiors. Swapping out your everyday dishware for pieces that are vibrant, durable, and outdoor-friendly not only adds a pop of personality but also makes dining outside feel like a special occasion.
