With the right mix of materials, hues, and textures, your home can radiate a kind of grounded elegance that's perfect for the season and better for the planet.
As the mercury rises, our homes crave the same seasonal shift that our wardrobes do. Out go the heavy fabrics, dark tones, and dense textures; summer calls for an interior makeover that's all about ease, airiness, and natural charm. Think breathable fabrics, earthy textures, and colours that soothe rather than stun.
'Summer is all about keeping things light and minimal. When it comes to fabrics, neutral tones and pale pastels work best to create a calm, airy atmosphere. For furnishings and curtains, we recommend breathable materials like mulmul, linen, cotton, and sheer fabrics. At Sirohi, we're passionate about natural materials—jute, bamboo, and Moonj grass are at the heart of what we promote. Accents made from these can bring a refreshing and sustainable touch to any home," says Gauri Malik, founder, Sirohi.
This season, more homeowners are turning to sustainable aesthetics that not only look beautiful but also feel good to live with. Breathable materials like linen and mulmul are perfect for curtains and upholstery as they allow light and air to flow freely, instantly making spaces feel more open and breathable. Soft pastel palettes – blush pinks, powder blues, sage greens, and warm beiges add a soothing undertone that pairs effortlessly with natural light.
For those looking to bring a tactile richness to their spaces, woven jute rugs, bamboo baskets, and Moonj grass trays and planters add texture while staying true to an eco-conscious mindset. These materials age beautifully, are biodegradable, and introduce an artisanal charm to modern settings.
Minimal doesn't have to mean stark. With the right mix of materials, hues, and textures, your home can radiate a kind of grounded elegance that's perfect for the season and better for the planet.
