Natural Materials and Textures

1. Wood Elements

Incorporate reclaimed wood furniture, such as coffee tables, shelving, or even a headboard. The weathered, raw look of natural wood adds a touch of rustic elegance.

2. Wicker and Rattan

Use wicker baskets, rattan chairs, and woven accessories to infuse your space with a laid-back, beachy vibe. These materials are light, durable, and bring an organic feel to any room.

3. Textiles

Add layers of texture with linen, cotton, and burlap. Consider throwing pillows, curtains, and table runners in neutral tones or soft pastels. The natural fibers not only look beautiful but also help keep your home cool during the warmer months.

This decoration is airy which is perfect for summer. Then, you should see the rustic touches added there that you can find on the wooden coffee table, wooden stools, bamboo lampstands, and rattan baskets. Natural Material Decor from @zocohome

Earthy Color Palette

Opt for an earthy color scheme that reflects the hues found in nature. Think shades of green, brown, beige, and soft white. These colors create a soothing atmosphere and blend seamlessly with rustic elements.

Then, for the accent color, incorporate pops of color with muted blues, soft yellows, and warm oranges. These colors can be introduced through decorative items like vases, picture frames, or even a statement piece of furniture.

Basically, this decoration is made in warm tones such as brown and olive green. Then it is added with the accent color to make the decoration more cheerful during summer by using the blue color that you can see on the backsplash and some kitchenwear. Earthy Color Palette from @arteperpiacere
