Looks We’re Loving: Rooms That Wear Summer Well

Bright and airy kitchen.

There’s something about summer that makes rooms feel a little looser, a little sunnier, and a whole lot more fun. Maybe it’s the striped textiles, the rattan accents, or just the way late-afternoon light hits a freshly iced glass of lemonade. As summer winds down, we’re celebrating with a few of our favorite community-inspired moments—from sun-soaked dining rooms to serene, collected corners—and we couldn’t resist sharing them with you.

Style & Soul

Sometimes a summer space doesn’t shout “vacation mode”, it just feels like it. Take this airy living room: modern and eclectic elements mingle effortlessly under warm wood beams and a sunlit ceiling. A travertine coffee table anchors the space, while the Ashlar Rug in Fern adds depth and texture beneath a modern sofa piled with playful pillows. Nearby, an oil painting on an easel hints at personality, and the large picture window brings the outside in, letting summer light dance across every surface.

Steal this idea: mix one natural anchor (like stone or wood) with playful, colorful accents to keep your space feeling bright, grounded, and full of character.

Summer Cabin Vibes

Who says summer bathrooms need to be all seashells and wicker? This crisp shiplap space proves less can be more. The white backdrop feels fresh and airy, while a simple gingham shower curtain brings just the right hint of cabin charm. A square metal mirror keeps things modern, and our Bower Wall Sconce in Alder adds a subtle glow that makes the morning routine feel a little more indulgent.

Steal this idea: mix a cozy pattern with clean, simple shapes to get a space that’s minimal but full of character.

Green Dream

Summer mornings never looked so serene. Draped in two shades of sage, this bedroom feels like a breath of fresh air—calm, cool, and endlessly inviting. The built-in bunk keeps things playful and practical, while a round coffee-table-style table and tucked-away stools keep the center of the room open for lazy summer lounging. A modern-lined sofa echoes the wall tones, making the whole space feel cohesive and effortlessly relaxed.

Steal this idea: layer soft, natural tones and let furniture echo the walls for a room that’s breezy, bright, and ready for summer.

Sunny Side Up

This dining room is pure summer energy—cheerful, inviting, and made for long meals that linger into golden evenings. The mustard-yellow half-paneled wall feels playful without overpowering the space, while the Forma Dining Table with lichen-colored legs grounds the room in timeless style. Cesca chairs with crisp white cushions keep the look light and breezy, balancing tradition with a fresh, modern touch.

Steal this idea: a bold wall color plus classic furnishings creates a space that’s lively, approachable, and perfect for summer entertaining.
