Summer Style Tips for Your Florida Home

Creating a cool, breezy atmosphere using high-end consignment furniture in your Florida home helps combat the intense summer heat while embracing coastal living. Even though we almost always have summer heat here in South Florida, at Consign & Design, we’re constantly looking for ways to work with it rather than against it. As the seasons change, our inventory of consignment furniture and consignment art begins to lean more towards a focus on lightweight materials and a fresh color palette that will transform your space into a summer sanctuary. And, one of the many benefits of shopping for high-end resale furniture pieces and resale art gems near you, is that adding a few subtle changes with the heralding of a new season doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank!

 For a general color scheme, start with a crisp white base and layer in coastal blues, sandy beiges, and soft coral accents. Replace heavy drapes with sheer, textured curtains that allow natural light in while maintaining privacy. Consider tropical prints for throw pillows and artwork, but use them sparingly to avoid overwhelming the space. One of our recent favorite consignment throw pillows includes this Springwood Pastel pillow.

 Natural textures are also essential for Florida-summer style and can be found in consignment furniture and consignment art pieces. Incorporate woven rattan furniture, jute rugs, and wicker baskets. This pair of coral Winston Rattan Dining Chairs is a multifunctional consignment win because they fulfill the material and texture trend, and function as a tropical pop of color.

 For bedrooms, switch to lightweight cotton or linen bedding. Remove heavy throws and replace them with thin cotton blankets layered at the foot of the bed. In the living areas, rearrange furniture to maximize airflow and create conversation areas that don't feel cramped. Remove unnecessary accessories and opt for minimal styling on surfaces – think a single statement vase or a carefully curated collection of shells. These pieces can easily be found when shopping for high-end consignment furniture and consignment art, or resale pieces nearby.

 You can also bring the outdoors in with tropical plants like palm fronds, orchids, or birds of paradise. Place them in ceramic or woven containers for an instant refresh. This will help keep your air clean during the summer months when we’re less likely to want to leave a door open and let our AC escape for too long.

 Remember that in Florida's climate, less is more. Focus on creating an uncluttered, breezy space that feels like a personal resort retreat. For a perfectly curated summer home, come shop our high-end consignment furniture and consignment art in Palm Beach Gardens or Wellington. No one does coastal elegance better than us!
