May is the perfect month to give your home a seasonal refresh. With a few strategic updates, you can lighten the mood, bring the outdoors in, and create a calm, summer-ready space. Here are five easy, eco-friendly design shifts to try this season.
1. Lighten Up with Natural Textiles
Swap out winter textures for breathable fabrics like organic cotton or linen. Use neutral-tone pillows, gauzy curtains, or a new throw to create a breezy, inviting atmosphere.

2. Bring the Outdoors In
Biophilic design boosts well-being and style. Add indoor plants, natural textures like rattan or jute, and earthy materials to reconnect your interiors with nature.
3. Refresh with Earth-Inspired Color Palettes
Welcome warmer weather with a shift in tones: terracotta, sage, sand, or sun-washed neutrals. These tones evoke comfort and calm while nodding to nature.

4. Maximize Natural Light
Rearrange furniture to let in more sunlight, swap heavy curtains for sheers, or add a mirror to reflect light. Small moves can create a brighter, more open space.

5. Declutter with Purpose
Use this seasonal shift to refresh not just style but energy. Simplify shelves, rotate artwork, or clear a surface. Intentional design leaves space for peace and inspiration.

Want to refresh your space but not sure where to begin? Book a consultation and let’s design a warm, balanced interior that feels like a fresh start.
