Replace heavy curtains, throws, and cushions with lighter fabrics in bright colors, floral patterns, and gingham to instantly give your home a summery feel. Opt for linen or cotton fabrics in pastel shades or vibrant hues that exude warmth and brightness. Gingham, with its classic checkered design, is perfect for adding a playful yet elegant vibe. In the living room, trade thick winter throws for lightweight cotton ones in cheerful gingham or floral patterns, perfect for adding pops of color to your sofa or armchairs.
These simple swaps with gingham and other light, bright textiles will transform your home into a welcoming, vibrant summer retreat.
