The Curator independently decides what topics and products we feature. When you purchase an item through our links, we may earn a commission. Promotions and products are subject to availability and retailer terms. The weather has finally turned, ushering in the desire to bring the outdoors in by opening up and brightening our homes. Summer 2025 is all about natural elements and vibrancy, biophilic design, rich jewel tones, maximalism, mixing patterns, one-of-a-kind show pieces, curated walls, layered lighting and more–opulence reigns supreme. Here are our top 10 picks to make the most of these summer trends and to freshen up your space without overcommitting or breaking your budget. Bring nature in With the warmer temperatures and the vibrant colours of nature returning, there is a desire to blend the line where your indoor space ends and the great outdoors begin. Opportunities to leave curtains drawn, and windows and doors wide open so natural light can spill in is one way to make the most of this season and create a visible connection with nature in your home. Story continues below advertisement Bacekoll Plant Stand We like this Bacekoll Plant Stand from Amazon to carry the eye between your indoor plants and living space to the gardens and trees beyond the window. $149.98 on Amazon (was $169.98) Earthy neutrals Cool greys and stark whites are less popular this season. Nature's influence also reaches into the warm earthy, tones home owners are loving right now. Story continues below advertisement Waffle Coverlet This Silk&Snow waffle blanket serves double duty—bringing in a lovely eucalyptus green to your bed or sofa, while the 100 per cent cotton textured weave adds a layer of warmth and breathable comfort for the warmer months ahead. $180 at silk&snow Organic shapes and patterns Taking inspiration from nature isn't just about colour. Natural formations and organic shapes and patterns are also visible in functional furniture and decor. Margot Washable Rug We recommend this Cozey Margot Washable Rug for its look and practicality. It comes in a variety of sizes, and is machine-washable; it has a modular rug pad, so the top layer is easy to remove and clean. Starting at $165 at Cozey Story continues below advertisement Rich, jewel tones Rich jewel tones are brightening cool, monochromatic spaces, and breaking up earthy neutrals by injecting focal points with pops of colour. Shelbi Upholstered Armchair This Shelbi Upholstered Armchair from Wayfair adds the perfect pop of colour to any space–and it's a breeze to assemble. $346 at Wayfair Story continues below advertisement Pattern drenching Pattern drenching is picking up steam and sweeping through the design world. While one approach is to pick a single colour and work that in with multiple bold patterns and textures on walls and furniture (even ceilings, if you're feeling brave), you can also lean into using complementary colours too. In this case, while the idea is that more is more, pattern drenching also isn't all or nothing, so you can find the degree of business that works for you.

While, of course, a curated wall takes time, thought and a budget to create, you can find pre-selected arrangements as placeholders or as a quick, affordable entry point. Anerza Eclectic Wall Art Decor This Amazon option comes in a variety of styles and aesthetics, and at $20, the price point is difficult to beat. $29.99 on Amazon Story continues below advertisement Unique or one-of-a-kind show pieces Fitting in with the idea of curated walls are one of a kind elements and show pieces.

Review: Canadian brand Cozey launches modular sofa bed

Could the Cozey Neptune Sofa-Bed be filling a gap in the Canadian marketplace? It's definitely filling a small corner in my spare bedroom. I've found it particularly challenging to find a sofa bed that can fit in my spare bedroom, as it's a very small space. The Neptune is a modular sofa bed, so you can order a configuration that accommodates your needs. Cozey is known for its modular sofas (we've tried quite a few of the brand's products, from its original modular sofa called the Altus , to the plusher Ciello sofa and the new outdoor dining set ). The Montreal-based brand continues to expand to create pieces that can conform and complement spaces of different uses, sizes and styles. I was excited when Cozey launched the Neptune because I wanted my small room to be multipurpose, but couldn't find a sofa bed that would fit. I ended up getting a two-seater sofa with two ottomans so I can turn the love-seat-size sofa into a full bed. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

Overall, I'm thrilled that I found a sofa bed to fit my limited space and would recommend it for others looking to do the same. Read below for my full review. What: Neptune Sofa-Bed Collection Price: $2,205 for a two-seater with two ottomans ( optional sleep kit add-on , $390) Where to buy: Cozey The Neptune is unlike any other sofa bed I've tried. Traditionally, a sofa bed is a couch with a heavy, springy mattress folded beneath the seats. The Neptune is a completely different mechanism. The conversion of sofa-to-bed and vice versa may take longer than the traditional style, but it's not arduous and awkward to pull out and fit in. It's a smoother, lighter experience. The Neptune can be purchased in various configurations, so it can accommodate different-sized and shaped spaces. It has a medium firmness, both as a sofa and a bed. It's comfortable as a sofa and more comfortable than most traditional sofa beds, but it's ideal for a short-term sleeping solution. I've ordered many pieces from Cozey, and the delivery is always seamless; the Neptune was no exception. The Neptune comes in boxes, one per seat plus the arms (and one box per ottoman). Each piece is wrapped in a material to ensure it arrives in good shape. Assemble this sofa with two people — I usually assemble alone, but it's just so much easier with a second set of hands. You don't need any tools, just some twists, turns and slides. Twisting in the legs is as easy as it gets, sliding the backs and arms takes a few tries. It took me approximately an hour to assemble, from start to finish, complete with the unboxing. Check out Cozey's assembly video . It's a medium-to-firm sofa that has clean lines and good support. If you're looking for a cozy couch, consider adding fluffy pillows and throws to enhance the softness. I selected the sofa in 'leaf,' which is a muted green and made from Cozey's performance fabric. This upholstery is durable, easy to clean and stain-resistant. It strikes a good balance between comfort and durability, but it's not as soft as some of the brand's other fabrics, such as chenille or corduroy. In terms of a sofa bed, it's great. The bed is made from the sofa pillows laid out flat, and there's the option to add on the sleep kit — so no uncomfortable springs digging into your body. However, even with the sleep kit, you can feel a bit of the grooves between the pillows. It's more than adequate for a bonus bed to host visitors. As mentioned, the space for this sofa is small, so transforming it from couch to bed and vice versa requires light gymnastics. It's totally a space issue and not a sofa issue, it's simple to transform and even easier if you have a decent amount of room. Modularity: My problem is space. The Neptune's modularity solves that. I'm thrilled that I finally found a sofa bed that can work in a spare bedroom that's really a 'plus den.' When ordering the sofa, I debated whether to get one or two seats and ottomans. I ended up getting two of each, so I have the option to have a double bed versus a single bed. I'm not fully convinced that the double fits the space (sans gymnastics), so I may go down to a single and put the second seat and ottoman in a different room — which is no problem, because of the Neptune's modularity. Storage: My problem is space. The Neptune's storage compartments, located under the seat (a bit difficult to get your stuff in and out because of how the seat pulls forward) and the ottoman (this is 10/10 storage). I like that a sleep kit is available to specifically fit the Neptune and the size I selected. However, I don't need pillows and linens, I just want the mattress pad. I'd prefer if I could order the sleep kit a la carte. Now, I have too many extra pillows. I'll likely give them away as they are currently nestled in the precious storage areas of the ottomans. That being said, I do find it easy to unpack and pack the sleep kit into their bags. It's not like a sleeping bag experience, where it's a full-body workout to get the bag back into the stuff sack. The Neptune sofa bed is a good solution to my space problems. I recommend the Neptune to people who want to have a spare bed. It's simple to convert and useful as storage. If you don't need the full sleep kit (with the mattress pad, pillow and linens), you may want to order a separate sleeping pad from somewhere else , but ensure you measure your sofa bed configuration carefully and order the correct size.
