A properly styled space is all about creating moments and visual interest.
As the warm summer days approach, we want our homes to feel cozy and livable, layered with warm hues, romantic motifs and interesting textures that remind us of lazy sun-drenched afternoons. Scroll down for inspiration and breakdowns for each summer styling look, plus tips on how to recreate it in your own space.
Look No.01 | Console Table
We love adding a console table behind our sofas to provide a visual barrier and separate living spaces, but this additional piece of furniture can be staggering in style. Stacked books, marble trays, structured lighting, and summery florals kept this look fresh and bright for the season.
