As sunny summer weather edges closer, now is the perfect time to refresh your interiors to reflect the season’s bright and relaxed feel. At Sophie Sews, we believe that curtains and blinds play a big role in enhancing the mood of your home, and with a few simple changes, you can create a cool, breezy and relaxed atmosphere that perfectly complements the warmer weather.
Choose light and airy fabrics
For us, summer fabrics must look and feel light weight and breathable. Linens, cottons, and sheer fabrics are a perfect example of this, allowing sunlight to filter into your home while keeping your space cool. We find that voiles are incredibly popular this time of year, offering you privacy without blocking out the natural light. Sheer fabrics also have a lovely relaxed, casual look, that fits the laid-back feel of the summer season, and with our wide variety of coloured and patterned voiles, we can help you find the perfect sheer fabric for your home!
Choose soft and neutral colours
Personally, I believe summer is the perfect time to embrace calming neutrals such as whites, creams, and light grays. Soft colour palettes reflect the brightness of the season and create a fresh, clean look for your summer interiors. However, if you’re craving a bit more colour, pastels shades like blush, mint, or duckegg blue can add a subtle touch of colour while still keeping your interior style light and serene. Don’t be afraid to bring more than one colour into the room – bringing in accent colours through cushions, throws, or even furniture can lift the room and make your space feel more personalised.
