8 Small Touches That Will Brighten Up Your Home For Summer

Artwork is a subtle way to welcome bright colors and patterns into your space. But if you're not ready to invest in an original painting, try picking up this print ($159).

If you want a comfortable place to rest your feet, swap out that coffee table for a cocktail ottoman. This one ($145, originally $256) comes in a contemporary shape with a fabric that's designed to resist scratches and stains, making it the ideal choice for a busy living room. Try adding a tray table on top so you can also use it as a place to rest drinks and snacks.

When it comes to picking a throw blanket, you want something that's chic and comfortable — like this option ($190, originally $294). The gorgeous pattern and contemporary colorways will elevate any couch it's draped across.

While white and beige rugs seem great in theory, they reveal the tiniest bits of dirt, which can make your room look messier than it actually is. This rug ($335) has an eclectic pattern that brings some much-needed brightness to any room. Not to mention, the durable textile makes it an ideal rug for any high-traffic area.

If you're looking for an easy way to elevate your desk, try upgrading your lighting.

But if you prefer something more minimalist, the lamp is available in two other muted finishes: black and white.

Channel the warmth of summer with this clay-colored duvet cover ($244). Built-in ties prevent your duvet from sliding around. Plus, it comes with two matching pillow shams.

This side table ($98, originally $118) adds style and color into your home without taking up too much space. The material is UV protected, which means you can use it as a plant holder in the sunroom or as a spot to rest your drinks while out on the deck.
