When the summer sun starts blazing, your home should be your sanctuary—a place to relax, recharge, and escape the heat. At Twin Star Home, we believe that staying cool doesn’t mean sacrificing style. With a few thoughtful updates, you can transform your space into a breezy, beautiful retreat that feels as refreshing as a coastal breeze.

Here are our top summer décor tips to help you cool down in style—while making your home feel effortlessly chic.

1. Lighten Up with Airy Fabrics

Swap out heavy textiles for lightweight, breathable materials like cotton, linen, and muslin. These fabrics not only feel cooler but also add a relaxed, summery vibe to your space.

2. Embrace a Cool Color Palette

Color has a powerful effect on how a space feels. For summer, lean into cool tones like soft blues, seafoam greens, sandy beiges, and crisp whites. These shades evoke the calm of the ocean and help visually “cool” your space.

Pro tip: Use accent pieces like vases, pillows, or wall art to introduce these colors without a full redesign.

3. Bring the Outdoors In

Summer is the perfect time to embrace the beauty of nature, not just outside, but inside your home too. Create a relaxed, organic vibe by layering in natural textures like rattan, jute, and light-toned wood. These elements add warmth and a breezy, effortless charm to any space.

Ideas to Try:

• Let in as much natural light as possible to brighten your space
• Add lush indoor plants for a fresh, vibrant touch
• Decorate with natural materials like woven baskets or linen textiles
• Display fresh or dried flowers for a seasonal accent

6. Declutter and Simplify

Summer is the season of simplicity. Clear out the clutter and embrace a more minimalist approach to décor. A clean, open space feels cooler and more inviting. Get this organize and cool blue bathroom look with the Twin Star Home Bathroom Vanity available at The Home Depot.

• Store away heavy winter décor.
• Use decorative trays to organize essentials in style.
