Cool down with comfy, breathable elements
Nothing beats a comfortable lounge chair to sink into after a busy summer day. As the heat comes, it’s high time to bring out pieces that are cool, breathable, and built from natural fibres like rattan, jute, seagrass, or hemp.
Wooden tables and rattan chairs make for sturdy and reliable dining set-ups and patio furniture. Add some leaf-print cushions, patterned textile rugs, and wicker lounge chairs and you have yourself a relaxing resort-style indoor setting. You can also elevate common rooms with wooden wall decor and eclectic accents from marble and stone artisans.
Another way to freshen the humid air is by having plants around your space. You can tuck greenery beside rattan corner tables and bar carts, display them on shelves and bookcases, or even make them the centrepiece on your dining table.
