✨ Summer Refresh: 3 Interior Design Tips to Instantly Elevate Your Home
As summer 2025 heats up, it's the perfect time to update your home with fresh, airy style that feels light, modern, and welcoming. Whether you're prepping to sell or simply want to love your space a little more, these three design tips from Elevate Real Estate Brokerage, LLC will help you create that relaxed, high-end summer vibe buyers crave.
1. Embrace Airy Neutrals
Dark tones can make a room feel smaller and heavier—especially in warmer months. This summer, trade out those deep hues for soft, airy neutrals like ivory, sand, sage, or pale blue. These light tones not only make rooms appear bigger but also reflect natural light beautifully, creating a bright and serene space that photographs well and feels elevated.
Pro tip: Paint an accent wall in soft sage or add cream-colored slipcovers to breathe fresh life into a living room or bedroom.
2. Refresh with Natural Textures
Linen, cotton, jute, and rattan are more than trends—they’re timeless summer staples. Integrating natural textures into your curtains, pillows, or rugs can instantly soften a space and create a resort-like atmosphere. Not only do these fabrics feel lighter in the summer heat, but they also add a relaxed elegance that resonates with today's homebuyers.
Try this: Swap heavy throws or velvet cushions for cotton-linen blends. Add a woven jute rug or a rattan accent chair for texture without clutter.
3. Greenery is the New Art
Forget heavy wall decor—indoor plants are the go-to statement piece for 2025. Whether it’s a tall olive tree in a ceramic planter or a simple snake plant in the hallway, greenery adds dimension, freshness, and life to your interiors. It’s one of the easiest ways to make a room feel current and curated.
Our favorites: Olive trees, fiddle leaf figs, and trailing ivy. For easy care, opt for ZZ plants or faux greenery that still brings the outdoors in.
Whether you’re staging to sell or simply embracing the season, these subtle shifts—neutral tones, natural elements, and thoughtful greenery—can instantly elevate your home’s style and comfort.
