As the UAE welcomes summer, it’s time for a refresh. While the country enjoyed a pleasant winter characterized by mild temperatures and the occasional rainfall, summers are long, dry, and sweltering. As you prepare to spend more time indoors, imagine transforming your living room into a cool sanctuary. 

This summer, inspire an indoor transformation that soothes the spirit and comforts your senses. Design a living room, where every detail; from the colors on the walls to the textures of your throw pillows speaks of freshness and ease. This blog provides suggestions to embrace your summers with chic, cool interiors that promise a refreshing escape. 

The Power of Color 

Dark and moody tones feel out of place as the weather turns warmer. Start by refreshing your palette. Opt for soft whites, creamy beiges and gentle pastels. These shades reflect the sun’s rays and maintain a cooler ambiance in your home. Ocean blues and soft corals are excellent accent shades, bringing a serene, marine touch to your home.  

Embrace Lightweight Fabrics 

Switch from heavier fabrics to lighter, more breathable fabrics like linen and fine cotton. Ensure that your curtains are light-colored, as darker curtains retain more heat. Cotton and linen throws and cushions don’t just look stylish but are also more comfortable to the touch, ensuring your seating is as cool as it looks. 

Rearrange for Airflow 

Reconsider the layout of your furniture to enhance airflow. Position sofas and chairs in a way that maximizes air circulation. A more minimalistic, spacious arrangement can help make the room feel cooler and more open.  

Incorporate Minimalist Decor

Embrace minimalist decor to avoid clutter that can trap heat. Choose sleek, contemporary furniture with clean lines and minimal embellishments. This not only makes the space more functional but also easier to maintain during dusty summer days. A simple ceramic vase or a minimalist sculpture can anchor the room without cluttering it.  

A Touch of Green

Indoor plants are an excellent idea to adorn your home with during the summer. Adding indoor plants to your home is also a great way to cool it down. Dot the room with potted plants, perhaps those that thrive in the heat. Their greenery can create a stark, yet beautiful contrast to the more subtle, muted tones of your room. Even artificial plants can provide much-needed visual comfort and help your home look beautiful without the maintenance that real plants often require. 

This summer provides you with an opportunity to turn your home into a cool, comfortable space. This year, our Spring Summer collection was designed keeping these very tips in mind, so that you can spend less time planning and focus on the pieces you need. Here’s to creating a living room that’s a cool retreat from the heat, where every detail contributes to a sense of calm and comfort.
