Summer's Last Light: How to Transition Your Home for a New Season
As the end of summer approaches, there's a quiet shift in the atmosphere. The days feel slower and the light turns golden—it's the perfect time to ease your living room into a more grounded, cozy space. Here’s how to capture the beauty of this transitional moment with calming colors, organic materials, and timeless pieces that bridge the seasons beautifully.
Create a calming backdrop with sand-colored sofas in breathable fabrics like linen. Shades like beige and taupe bring a light, easygoing feel that works in any climate and pairs beautifully with warmer or cooler accents.
As your living room shifts from warm to cool (or summer’s cool to autumn’s cozy), lean into layers that add interest without heaviness. Natural fiber rugs, and textured cushions and throws bring warmth and softness without overwhelming your space.
Introduce depth and richness into the living room with clay-toned chairs in shades like terracotta, burnt peach, or rust. These colors channel the heat of the sun and the earth beneath it, perfect for warming up a neutral space or adding seasonal contrast.
Dusty sage is a versatile, grounding hue that complements both natural wood tones and lighter linens. Whether you're styling a coastal cottage or an urban flat, sage furniture adds just enough color while keeping the vibe serene.
Just because the temperatures are getting cooler doesn’t mean that natural rattan elements are off limits. Natural-fiber lighting—made of rattan, wood, or linen—can still help set a welcoming tone, soften the glow, and add visual warmth to your living room.
The easiest way to reflect the changing of the seasons in your home? Swapping out your art! Choose pieces that depict natural landscapes, sunsets, or earth-toned abstracts, which perfectly match this transitional period.
