Summer Styling Refresh - Designer Tips - Stylehaven Interior Design

Summer is all about relaxing and enjoying your home and garden. Time seems to slow down which makes it the perfect opportunity to refresh your living space.

Create the feeling of summer inside your home, as showcased in our recent Kitsilano Custom Home project with Eyco Building Group below:

Designer tip: Mix fresh flowers and garden greenery for a luxurious look.

Add greenery! Fresh flowers bring a lovely fragrance and a pop of colour to your home and can be changed easily depending on your taste and budget. If you have a green thumb, purchase a new indoor plant for your home. Studies show that house plants can boost your mood, improve air quality and promote relaxation.

Designer tip: Cluster existing art pieces together for a salon-style gallery wall, leaving other walls open and uncluttered.

Move your art around or replace it with new art. Try switching out frames for an easy update on a current piece you love. Gallery walls with all the same frames can bring your art together to create a coordinated, cohesive look.

Designer tip: Pick paint colours that you will love in the long run. Choose calming colours that create a more relaxing home environment.

Paint is a cost-effective way to make an impactful change to your home both inside and out. Fresh paint offers inspiration, and can highlight colours in your furniture and decor. Try an accent wall using paint or wallpaper for bold change without having to paint every wall of the room.

Did you know there are thousands of colours of white paint to choose from? We often get questions about what is the “right” colour of white for a clients space.

Let us help you pick the perfect white colour for your space that works with existing furnishings and architectural features in your home. We offer a paint consultation which includes a home visit and colour chart.

Pick paint colours that you will love in the long run

Designer tip: Choose a colour for your entry or front door that reflects the interior of your home. Welcome your guests to your home with the right exterior colors!

Painting your front door or entryway can freshen the space and create a more inviting experience for visitors. It can also add curb appeal if you’re looking to put your home on the market.

Designer tip: We love rugs. Specifically natural fiber, wool and sisel ! Adding a new rug can create a finished, polished look to your space.

Consider a fresh new rug for your home. Rugs offer warmth from the stark contrast of a bare floor. Whether you like bold colours and patterns, or a softer more muted look, bringing a rug into your home can elevate your decor and offers comfort and luxury.
