From spring to summer: How to refresh your boho home for the new season

From spring to summer: How to refresh your boho home for the new season

Jun 09, 2025

As the seasons shift from soft, floral spring to the golden glow of summer, it's the perfect time to refresh your interiors. Whether you’re updating a cosy flat or a spacious family home, small seasonal switches can breathe new life into your space.

Boho decor is all about effortless, nature-inspired styling, so transitioning your home from spring to summer can be simple, soulful, and stunning. Here's how to make it happen, using versatile pieces from simplyboho to guide the way.

 

1. Switch up your colour palette

Spring often brings soft pastels and fresh greenery, while summer leans into warmer tones: terracotta, mustard, sandy beige, and sun-bleached neutrals. Swapping a few key pieces in your colour scheme can completely transform the feel of a room.

Try this: Trade dusky pink cushions for ochre or burnt orange ones, and layer in a light, neutral throw for effortless warmth. Check out our cushion collection for easy-to-style seasonal shades.

 

2. Embrace lighter textures

Heavy knits and wool throws? Time to store them away. Summer is all about airy, breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, and gauze. These materials feel fresh and cool while still adding layers and softness.

Try this: A linen-look throw and textured cotton cushion covers offer a breezy update that works in any room.

 

3. Add natural decor accents

Nature is a core element of boho design, and summer is the time to really lean into it. Think rattan, bamboo, jute, and dried grasses. These textures give your home that sun-drenched, earthy feel that defines summer boho style.

Try this: Style your space with our woven baskets, handcrafted vases, or a jute rug to bring in those natural summer textures.

4. Refresh with seasonal florals & greenery

Spring might be about fresh blooms, but summer invites a slightly more rustic, sun-dried look. Pampas grass, eucalyptus, and dried florals are a boho staple all year round, and they’re perfect for seasonal styling too.

Try this: Our vases make it easy to swap out your floral arrangements for something more seasonally chic.

 

5. Bring the outdoors in

Summer is about blurring the line between inside and out. Open up your space with soft lighting, light curtains, and decor that celebrates nature. If you’ve got a patio or balcony, treat it as an extension of your interior with soft furnishings and accessories.

Try this: Our lighting collection is perfect to create a soft lighting effect, and help your home feel bright and airy.

 

6. Lighten the mood with accessories

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Swapping accessories like wall art, ceramics, and table decor for lighter or more colourful versions can instantly change the feel of a space.

Try this: Browse our decor category for ceramics, wall hangings, and mirrors to find the perfect finishing touches for your summer setup.
