{keeping summer style in your home all year}

Can we all just agree that summer goes by much too quickly here in Minnesota? Ok? Agreed.

Thankfully, design transcends time and allows us to keep summer alive in our homes all year long! Here are some of our favorite year-round summer-inspired design elements:

Grasscloth wallcoverings
Adding natural elements, like grasscloth wallcoverings, to your home evoke the feelings of nature and the great outdoors. Grasscloth wallcoverings not only look great, but they also help cover any slight imperfections in walls, absorb noise and create a dramatic backdrop to any room. Check out the grasscloth wallcovering options at Hirshfield’s Design Resource, including the Thibaut collection.

Keep it clean with white…
White is fresh, airy and clean. When I think of a summer home, I think of crisp white curtains blowing in the breeze! Don’t be afraid of decorating with white – working with different tones and textures of white gives a space some interest and drama.
