Seasonal Styling for the Commitment Phobic (No Walls Were Harmed)
By STYLEDas
We love a seasonal glow-up. But the idea of repainting your living room every time the weather changes? Not exactly our kind of soft life. Summer is here, and you deserve a space that feels as fresh as a linen shirt in a coastal breeze—without the faff of a full redesign.
Enter: seasonal styling. Small updates, big vibe shifts. And yes, your walls can stay exactly the same colour.
Here’s how to summer-ify your space the STYLEDas way, think textures, tones, florals, and a splash of scent to seal the deal.
1. Switch Your Textures Like You Switch Your Wardrobe
Just as you’d ditch your wool coat for a breezy co-ord, your space deserves a texture refresh. Think soft cotton, light linen, woven rattan, and airy gauze.
Swap out heavier throws or cushions for lighter materials in natural tones. A linen runner over your dining table? Effortless. A raffia tray on your coffee table? Instant sunshine energy.
STYLEDas tip: Texture isn’t just about fabrics, introduce ceramics with matte finishes or clear glass accents to keep things light and fresh.

2. Let Fabrics Breathe (Literally)
Curtains, bedding, cushion covers, these are your styling MVPs. If your curtains are thick and moody, consider swapping in something gauzy that lets light stream through in that golden-hour-drenched, magazine-cover kind of way.
In the bedroom, think crisp white sheets, flax-toned throws, and a touch of soft pastel. A barely-there blush, a buttery yellow or sage green can transform the whole feel without the need for a single paintbrush.

3. Bring the Outside In (without the allergy risk)
Florals for summer? Ground-breaking. But seriously, botanical touches are a quick and chic way to breathe new life into a space. And you don’t need a flower subscription or green thumb to get the look.
Dried florals, sculptural stems, or even a faux olive tree in a statement pot can add softness and movement. Choose arrangements with height or an asymmetric feel to keep things modern.
STYLEDas tip: Grouping a small bud vase trio with different heights instantly looks styled, not staged.

4. Style With Scent
Scent is the underdog of the seasonal styling, and a game-changer. Candles, diffusers, or even a subtly styled incense holder can help define the mood of a room.
In summer, we gravitate towards notes of citrus, neroli, fig, salt, and mineral woods. Nothing cloying. Just clean, crisp, and "please tell me what candle that is". Alternatively, anything coconut, gives off those summer vibes.
Place your scent layers where the light hits—your coffee table, bedside, or hallway console.

5. Finish With a Styled Drop of Joy
If you’re making any new styling purchases this season (and we might know a place…), go for objects that look good and feel good. Think: a travertine tray, a lightweight sculptural vase, or a neutral-toned throw that’ll work in any season.
It’s not about starting from scratch, it’s about curating what’s already there, and elevating it with intention.

Summer styling = ease.
You don’t need to knock down walls or commit to a new colour story. You just need a few elevated swaps, a touch of play, and the confidence to know your space is working with the season, not against it.
