Summer isn’t just about vacations by the sea, walks in the park and meeting friends in cafes, but as 2020 showed, it’s also quite a bit of time spent at home. Many of us are especially eager to make the change of seasons in our closet, pulling out shorts and hiding sweaters in a far corner. Why not do the same with our homes?

It’s not that hard to create the atmosphere of a Mediterranean holiday at home. Imagine: the bright midday sun is shining outside, but inside it is cool, the curtains are gently fluttering in the wind, a light lunch is already eaten, everyone is resting and you can sit quietly in a rattan chair with a book, waiting for the heat to go down and the evening to come. The atmosphere of a summer siesta, of relaxed doing nothing, and of a complete absence of rush. A summer home is a safe place to escape the heat and relax between endless meetings, late-night parties, and long walks around town. Linen tablecloths, curtains, woven lampshades and other things may well add a summer atmosphere to your home and turn it into an island of calm and relaxation.
