Easy Summer Living

There’s nothing more spectacular than a British summer so, with that as our inspiration, we’re launching our new ‘Summer Living’ collection – it’s on display now at Something Different. Summer Living is also the theme behind our new video, showing how Something Different can help capture the essence of easy summer living in your own home.

For us, summer living is about spending time outdoors, whether that’s alone with a good book or enjoying a BBQ with family and friends. Whichever option is right for you, creating a versatile garden space is key to true summer living so we wanted the video to show how just a few small items can transform a garden into a relaxing haven for celebrating summer.

Summer is also a great time to blur the lines between indoors and out. The warm, dry weather means we can enjoy having beautiful things outside as well as in our homes. Why not try using candle light on those warm evenings as the sun goes down while you enjoy the company of a friend over a glass of wine? Or, if the weather’s turned (let’s face it, no British summer is complete without the occasional rainy day!) then a colourful vase containing summer faux flowers on your window ledge or dining table is the perfect way of creating some summer fun indoors.

We wanted the video to showcase not only the best of our shop in the heart of Midhurst but also to give some ideas for how you could do get the easy summer living look in your own home. There are some great suggestions on using our indoor candles in a garden setting and the video also shows how we’ve experimented with lanterns in the garden space – they add a wonderful source of light as well as looking gorgeous! You can also read more about decorating with faux flowers in one of our previous blog posts.

So, make the most of summer; entertain guests, relax and unwind, spend time outdoors while enjoying the little luxuries of home and bring a touch of summer to your interior design.

Enjoy easy summer living with Something Different.
