As the days get longer and the sunshine starts streaming through the windows, there’s no better time to give your home a seasonal refresh. At Larry O’Keeffe Furniture we believe summer should feel light, bright, and comfortable, and your home should reflect that too.

Whether you're prepping for family gatherings, lazy weekend lounging, or simply ready for a new look, here are some simple but effective ways to update your space for the sunnier months ahead.

Lighten Up Your Living Room

Swap out heavy, dark fabrics for light, breathable materials like linen or cotton blends. Think neutral tones with pops of colour, soft blues, fresh greens, or warm peach shades.

✨ Tip: Add a new light-coloured sofa or accent chair to instantly lift the mood of your space. Our collections are full of summer ready pieces that blend comfort with style.

Add a Splash of Colour

Summer is the perfect excuse to have a little fun with colour! Introduce seasonal tones with:

• Vibrant scatter cushions

• Bold accent furniture like a colourful footstool or side table

• A statement armchair in a floral or tropical print

We stock a wide range of colourful, high-quality accessories and furniture that can transform your space with minimal effort.

Embrace Natural Materials

From oak coffee tables to rattan-style chairs, natural materials bring warmth and texture into your home. They pair beautifully with summer’s relaxed vibe and create a feeling of calm.

Update Your Bedroom for the Season

Swap your winter throws and heavy duvets for lighter bedding, and consider refreshing your bedroom furniture with:

• A new bed frame in a soft wood or upholstered finish

• A stylish chest of drawers or bedside lockers to keep things clutter-free

Your bedroom should feel like a cool, peaceful retreat, and we’ve got just the pieces to make it happen.

Outdoor-Indoor Living Starts Now

If you’re lucky enough to have a sunroom or garden-facing space, now’s the time to blur the lines between outdoors and in. Choose furniture that feels breezy and adaptable, like:

• Modular corner sofas

• Easy-to-clean dining tables perfect for indoor BBQ nights

• Stylish storage solutions to keep everything tidy and ready for spontaneous entertaining

Whether you’re planning a full room makeover or just want to bring in a few seasonal touches, our team at Larry O’Keeffe Furniture is here to help you find pieces you’ll love all summer long and beyond.
