Summer is often a time when we focus on our gardens rather than our homes, but a few fun summer buys can really make a difference to your home. Here are a few of my favourites this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pretty light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Pooky lamp, with a drum shade by Tamar Kalif in sage, will add a pop of colour and pattern on a desk or side table. Pooky are a brand to watch and their collaborations are always interesting. They\u2019ve also really led the market in portable lamps, which are so useful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wallpapered wall <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have time to wallpaper a whole room, a feature wall will make a statement in your space. Contrasting, bold colours feature heavily in this illustrated Protea wildflower wallpaper by sustainably-made paper makers Bobbi Beck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new coat of paint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paint is the cheapest way to revamp a room. I love this \u2018grubby\u2019 pink colour, Ciao Sofia, from new paint brand, Coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some colourful tiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

These handmade blue patchwork tiles from Bert & May can be used in small and large spaces. The mix of tiles creates a fantastic feature in traditional and modern spaces and the patchwork design makes every floor or wall unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new set of bedding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

The quickest way to revamp a bedroom is with a new set of bed linen. Chalk Pink Linen Company have a lovely duvet set in Vintage Rose Pink that is reminiscent of the warm rock tones of Petra. It looks great paired with white sheets for a classic combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A colourful kilim rug<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

These brilliant kilim rugs offer the exact look and feel of traditional woollen flat-woven kilims but with all the benefits of being made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. They come in a gorgeous collection of designs and a range of sizes from small kilim bath mats to extra-large rugs, perfect for bigger rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sharing platter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

A beautiful large serving platter is ideal for placing down the centre of the dining table, piled high with antipasti or freshly baked bread to serve a communal starter. The Artisan Large Serving Platter is made from Portuguese clay for a rustic look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A String Pocket shelf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

Designed by Nisse Strinning in 2005, one String\u00ae Pocket shelf consists of two wall-hung panels and three shelves in a variety of colour options from grey and mustard to combinations with shelves in walnut, ash, or oak. You will be able to fit a String\u00ae Pocket anywhere. Mount it in your bedroom and use it as your bedside table, place it above a cupboard in your hallway or living room or why not mount it in the kitchen for your cookbooks and spices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An occasional chair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

This Chevron Flat Rattan Occasional Chair from Cox & Cox has a simple chic chevron pattern throughout, a wide base, deep seat and convenient arm rests. Create a pared back, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic by pairing it with seat pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cute colourful radio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

Listen to the sounds of summer on a Roberts Revival Petite – the newest member of the Revival family, which fits retro style and modern sound in the palm of your hand. Switch between DAB\/DAB+\/FM radio or connect via Bluetooth for simple streaming. I\u2019d have one in every room if I could!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope I have given you some ideas for easy summer revamps for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
