Midsummer Inspirations for Your Home
As the summer solstice graces us with longer days and sunny afternoons, it’s the perfect time for homeowners in the MidSouth to reinvigorate their living spaces. From whimsical outdoor dining setups to sultry indoor styles, the season invites creativity.
Outdoor Delight: The Solstice Dinner
This weekend, we celebrate the wholeness of summer, and what better way to do so than an outdoor dinner? Picture this: a beautifully set table under a feathered canopy of lights, surrounded by blooming flowers. Inspiration can be drawn from the A Moveable Feast in Reims, where charm and elegance intertwine, reminding us that dining al fresco heightens our senses to nature.
Flourishing Decor with Local Flare
An exciting addition to your summer adventures is a visit to the new Hay restaurant in Copenhagen. With its decor designed by the emerging artist Emma Kohlmann, it's a testament to how art and dining can produce an enriching experience. Why not look for inspiration in your local art scene to refresh your dining space? Supporting local artists can transform your home into a gallery while bringing positivity.
Sustainable Choices: Hyem Furniture
With sustainability in mind, the introduction of Hyem, a new furniture brand by the design connoisseurs behind Lind + Almond, can offer stunning and eco-friendly options. Opting for sustainably crafted furniture not only reduces your carbon footprint but also brings unique, handcrafted touches to your home.
Artistic Touches: Cezanne’s Studio
Art enthusiasts will rejoice at the reopening of Cezanne’s studio in Aix-en-Provence, a summer must-visit. Embracing art at home can enhance wellness and inspire creativity. A simple yet beautiful arrangement of your favorite artwork on the walls can create a calming impact in your living space.
The Nature Within: Enamelware and Repurposed Materials
An enamelware carafe serves a dual purpose, perfect for summer drinks or as a stylish vase for fresh blooms. Similarly, options like doorstops made from marble remnants not only support sustainability but elevate your home's aesthetic. These pieces whisper sophistication while caring for our planet—perfect examples of thoughtful choices for today’s mindful homeowner.
Embracing the Dry Garden Trend
If you’re looking to shift towards a more sustainable gardening approach, Kier’s new book on dry gardens might spark your interest. This alternative gardening is not only water-efficient but also aesthetic. Imagine a serene garden that requires less maintenance and thrives in the summer sun. It’s timeless yet innovative, fitting perfectly into our warm, dry summer days.
Current Events That Resonate with Your Lifestyle
The RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show at the Saatchi Gallery highlights how nature and art intersect beautifully. For homeowners, attending such events might inspire head-turning decor ideas. This collaboration between visual beauty and nature reflects the core principles of sustainable living.
