Summer already feels as if it is here! It’s time to pack away the winter woollies and freshen up your living spaces for summer!

Let us start with the centre of the home. The place where everyone congregates and, now that the days are longer and warmer, the place where your family and friends will be spending more time, the living room! A room can have very few furniture and design pieces and still make a statement and be bold. Less doesn’t always mean minimalism. A statement piece lifts a space without major structural changes. Take a look at the Maison Coffee Table for instance, with its solid Asphalt Grey base and Oak top in a natural finish, this might just be the statement piece your living room requires to take it to the next level! 

The coffee table can be paired with the Maison Side Tables to finish off your living room, or if you are all about lightening the vibe up this summer, have a look at the Oslo Side Tables in solid Ash. The American White Ash finished in our Havanna tinted furniture oil will give your living room a much lighter feel while still maintaining that “statement-piece” goal.

If your living room doubles as your entertainment room you will want to look at either the Oslo Plasma unit with its modern geometric design in the same Havanna finish as the side tables or the Maison Plasma unit if you choose to go with the bolder look for your living room.

Now, let’s move to the dining room, the summer holidays are the perfect time to get your dining room in tip-top shape before friends and family make their way over! Sticking to the Statement pieces, nothing says Bold and proud for the dining room like our Zurich Dining table and Benches. All in solid Ash timber in a stunning style reminiscent of outdoor picnic benches, bringing a bit of the summery outdoors to your living room.

Depending on your current decor you might want to go with something lighter for your dining room, then the Normandy Dining table may be the one for you. The Normandy Dining table is less of a Bold, ‘in-your-face’, statement piece and more of a subtle piece that brings the room together yet manages to stay the centre of attention. The range of Normandy dining room furniture should not be overlooked when redecorating for summer.

And now for lighting. Our Dwell standing lamps are crafted from Solid Oak or Ash and come in a variety of our in-house finishes to suit your decor, they come with a natural coloured lamp shade, or if you already have a lamp shade you would prefer you can purchase them without one. They come flat-packed to save on shipping and are simple to put together, a perfect fit for any room in the house this summer.

And finally, we have the bedroom where you will be spending your summer nights after entertaining friends and family during the holidays. There is a bedding change in order for summer when you move to the lighter bed covers. The Blanket Boxes are there for you to store your winter bedding for the next time you need them or for those odd nights in summer when you can almost think we are in for a winter Christmas, a warm cosy blanket is right at the end of the bed ready for you. Storage and convenience all while looking stylish in its own right. Our blanket boxes come with a variety of finishes with either painted or solid timber tops. 

The style of the Chest you have in your bedroom will entirely depend on the rest of your bedroom decor, for example, our Outeniqua Chest lends itself to a more modern decor, it also suits a bedroom that already has a centre statement piece as it is not too intrusive and minimalistic enough to not take over the spotlight. The Oslo Chest also boasts a modern style with geometric shapes much like the plasma unit from earlier, the difference is that the Oslo chest much like the Outeniqua does not demand the attention of the room and can easily be placed with your other furniture without ruining the bedroom setup, however, the Oslo also features crisp solid white drawer draws giving your bedroom that brighter look and feel that you prefer in summer.

Pedestals are often the focal points of the bedroom, and one of the largest ranges on our website, so you can be sure we will have the pedestal to suit your decor this summer. If your current style leans more towards a vintage look the Vintage pedestal with its modern twist on a classic design might be the one for you, Solid Pine finished in our hand technique vintage black finish and Walnut finish on the solid pine top, the cabriolet legs will fit in seamlessly with your vintage bedroom setup.

If your decor is more sleek lines and modern designs then you might want to have a look at our range of Outeniqua pedestals their minimalist design and light finishes are perfect for summer. Meeting you halfway is the Zenith Pedestal, the retro look mixed with a modern feel. The clean edges and sleek lines on the Zenith pedestal mix well with today’s modern designs however there is a hint of the old world in the ebonized legs and the Gunsmoke-tinted solid oak. If you like the design but would like to lighten it up a bit for the summer, the Zenith also comes in a beautiful Solid ash legs with a cotton white finish with matching drawers topped off with a solid white painted top.
