Summer days are typically hot, but sometimes evenings can be cool. Throw a light quilt over each chair when entertaining into the evening so guests can stay warm.

Speaking of quilts, I love any kind of handmade quilt for a summer bedroom. My mother used to pick up Amish quilts when traveling; their quilts are extremely cheerful in color.

Farmhouse animals and butterflies are a good fabric pattern for pillows. And let’s face it, swapping out pillows is probably the easiest way to freshen up a room.

Consider changing curtains with fresh summer textile. Cotton and linen are light weight fabrics that create breezy appeal – save heavier drapes for fall and winter.

In the summer I like to use bright colored kitchen towels like the red and white one shown here. And did you notice the “curtain”? Red and white baby outfits are clothes-pinned in place.

Consider taking your kitchen towels out of the drawer and displaying them on an open shelf for added color. Stripes always remind me of summer!

  1. These are great ideas. I use different kitchen towels, pillows and curtains in the summer. Have a great week.

  2. I keep white all year but, I do change pillows, flowers etc.. according to the calendar.
    Maybe even add a few new pieces here and there.
