As the mercury rises and the summer heat starts to settle in Kuwait, it’s the perfect time to refresh and reorganize your home and chalet. While we’d all love to jet away for the entire summer, life’s realities drive us toward more sensible choices. So why not make your space feel like you’re away for a summer break? Afterall, a better home, means a better life all year round. All you need is a healthy dose of whimsy, and checking out our summer home refresh guide with help from our friends at IKEA.

SUMMER COLORS FOR THE WIN

You don’t need to do a full overhaul of your home’s color palette to get those summer vibes going inside your home. A corner chair in an energetic color, a vibrant cushion, or even complementing your timeless dinnerware with brightly colored pitchers and salad bowls will do the trick.

Light up your life, Boost your Mood

One of the most exciting things about a holiday is staying at a hotel and being pampered. The rooms feel comfortable and practical, and we often wonder how to bring that home. There are extra pillows, easy-to-reach lights above the bed for late-night reading, and the softest duvets and sheets.

You can recreate that at home easily with some smart choices from IKEA, starting with LED lights! Not only are smart LED lights better for the environment and can help you reduce your energy use, but they are also a great way to instantly add depth and character to any room. Switching to the remote-controlled dimmable bulbs from IKEA will help you change the mood of your space, add lighting exactly where you need it, and create cozy nooks in any room.

Spa Day At Home, Every Day!

A cooling shower after a hot summer’s day can be a real game-changer. Most modern hotels offer amazing shower experiences because they understand the power of invigorating spa experiences. What to do? Recreate the perfect tropical escape at home! At IKEA, pressure-compensating aerators are standard across their range of taps and showers and bring the magical feeling of standing under a waterfall or rain to your home without wasting water. Level up on luxury and sustainability with this easy switch!

Give Your Chalet a Summer Makeover

Spending time at the chalet is a lot of fun. We’re lucky that we can enjoy chalets all year round, but it’s still important to make sure that they are summer-ready. Swap out heavy fabrics for breathable, natural materials like linen and cotton to make rooms feel lighter and breezier. A few well-chosen décor updates—such as colorful cushions, airy curtains, and lightweight bedding—can transform your chalet into a welcoming and refreshing summer resort-like retreat. Resort hotel rooms are also usually clutter-free, and the decor is artful without feeling overwhelming. A new season is the perfect time to declutter and organize your home or chalet space. Be mindful of where your unused items go—donate, recycle, or repurpose rather than sending them to landfills. Modular and space-saving storage solutions, like those from IKEA, help keep your home tidy without creating unnecessary waste. You also can’t miss out on refreshing new art prints from IKEA that will give your space a summery update.

Embrace Nature with Greenery and Plants

Nothing breathes life into a space like fresh greenery. Houseplants don’t just add beauty; they also purify the air, improve mood, and create a serene atmosphere. Summer is always the perfect time to bring plants into your life, because they grow much better than the cooler months. Adding real plants at home or the chalet doesn’t have to be daunting. The real trick is to do some research and find the plant with the needs that match your planned location and the level of care you’re able to provide.  Sustainable plant pots and stylish containers are available at IKEA to help you create an eco-friendly oasis at home.
