As the final notes of spring fade into the golden rhythm of summer, it’s the perfect moment to refresh your space and bring in a little sun-soaked joy. Just like our wardrobes shift with the weather, our homes benefit from a seasonal reboot — think breathable fabrics, sun-drenched palettes, and thoughtful textures. At The F.A.R STORE, we believe that the switch from spring to summer doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact, it can be a simple, mindful shift toward lighter, brighter, and more sustainable living.
Here’s how to transition your decor from spring to summer with style, using home textiles for summer, cotton home decor, and sustainable home decor that aligns with your aesthetic and values.
1. Embrace the Light with Cotton Textile
When it comes to summer home styling, fabric matters. Heavy materials that kept your home cozy during cooler months can make spaces feel weighed down in the summer. Opt for natural fibers like cotton — they’re breathable, soft to the touch, and just right for rising temps.
At The F.A.R STORE, our handpicked selection of cotton cushions, shams, and table runners is crafted not only for comfort but for a conscious lifestyle. Whether you’re layering your couch with pastel-toned cushions or dressing your dining table in crisp, block-printed napkins, cotton makes every space feel fresher and more relaxed.
2. Go Bright, But Keep It Grounded
Spring might have brought in soft florals and gentle pastels, but summer welcomes vibrant hues, sunny tones, and bold pairings. Think golden yellows, ocean blues, clay reds, and natural whites.
The F.A.R STORE's summer-ready textiles play beautifully with both neutrals and brights. Mix a classic ivory cushion with a bold geometric table runner. Or, layer block-printed napkins over solid-colored placemats for a warm-weather table setting that feels artful yet easy.
3. Elevate Everyday Moments
Summer is all about slow, intentional living — think long dinners at home, impromptu brunches, and outdoor lounging. The little things you use every day — like table napkins, coasters, or a decorative tablecloth — become part of the season’s rhythm.
Swap out heavy linens for lightweight cotton napkins in seasonal prints from The F.A.R STORE. Add a summer-inspired table runner to your dining area or even a breakfast nook. These pieces not only lift the look of your space but make every meal feel a little more special.
4. Mix Textures Mindfully
Texture brings soul to a space — especially in summer when less is often more. Instead of layering bulky throws or thick rugs, incorporate textured cotton cushions, hand-stitched shams, or woven table mats that offer depth without adding heat.
At The F.A.R STORE, many of our home textiles for summer are created using artisanal techniques like block printing or hand embroidery, adding subtle texture while keeping the vibe airy and light. The result? A home that feels curated but never cluttered.
5. Stay Sustainable and Stylish
In the U.S., there’s a growing shift toward sustainable home decor, and for good reason. Choosing ethically made, natural fiber textiles isn’t just good for the planet — it’s good for your home, too. Natural materials like cotton regulate temperature better and are safer for sensitive skin or allergy-prone households.
Every piece from The F.A.R STORE is made with care and consciousness — whether it’s a cushion cover hand-printed by artisans or a table runner woven from 100% natural cotton. We believe in blending beauty with responsibility.
6. Think Seasonal, Not Permanent
One of the best things about decorating for summer? You do not have to renovate your entire house. A few carefully chosen swaps can make your space feel completely new.
Try these easy ideas:
-
Swap out your spring throw pillows for cotton cushion covers in vibrant summer tones.
-
Replace heavier table linens with lightweight runners and napkins in seasonal prints.
-
Bring in a mix of warm neutrals and bright pops — like coral, terracotta, or indigo — to mimic nature’s summer palette.
-
Add a small stack of decorative cotton cushions to your outdoor bench or reading corner to bring indoor comfort outside.
7. Visual Pairings Matter
Not sure where to start? We’ve curated visual pairings across our summer home collection that make styling easier than ever. Match a coral block-printed runner with soft mustard napkins, or combine a hand-embroidered cushion with crisp white bedding for a subtle summer lift.
