A few minor changes and upgrades can make your home feel more prepared for hot weather.

Hang Breezy Drapery

If you want to help keep heat out of the house, choose a lightweight, but dense fabric to block sunlight on hot days.

Incorporate Summery Scents

Candles and diffusers in citrus, floral, or beachy scents can create a sense of lightness versus the heaviness that accompanies sugary or woodsy notes.

Ditch Heavy Rugs For Lighter Materials

Put that heavy rug in storage – and swap in lightweight or flat-weave rugs made from cotton or jute.

Bring In Fresh Greenery

Sprucing up your space by placing fresh greenery on your entryway table or in the bedroom.

Add Earthy Textures and Patterns

For summer we love natural textures – such as jute and tweed – and playful prints such as pin stripes and florals.
