If you’re like us, summer means lots of entertaining, especially now after a long year of missing our loved ones while locked away at home. Hosting at home gives us the perfect excuse to spruce things up in the spaces where we gather with friends and family. And, fortunately, there are plenty of quick and easy ways to mix things up. Here are some of our favorite tips.

Bringing in a fresh color or pattern through throw pillows is one of the easiest ways to change the look of a room. There are endless fabulous options, from sizes to textures, that are sure to give your sofa an instant upgrade!

Introducing new lighting into a room can make a significant impact. Consider adding a new table or floor lamp to bring an interesting design element to a room. Lighting changes color and perspective, so go bold with the base or lamp shades.

A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and quickest ways to refresh a space. You can go for popular crisp whites or vibrant colors. To create a unique look, add a wallpaper accent wall for a burst of color, pattern, or texture.

Accessorizing your bigger pieces can add personality, too. We love a coffee table moment that brings together a beautiful candle and some personal touches. Use these Il Papiro picture frames imported from Italy to add your most treasured photos. Our Signature Ivy Lane Living Candle is a must-have for any room. You can add books for height or trays to control your space. Trays are the area rugs to any table!

Make an appointment to come into our showroom to see these pieces and more in person.
