7 Design style rules by Only Summer
Only Summer
Lifestyle Company specialised in Luxury Vacations, Furniture and handmade accessoires.
The success of Only Summer's vacation homes is also due to our design style rules. Now we are letting you into our secrets, so you can also transform your home to create our #onlysummerfeel there!
1. What is your basic colour scheme?
Everyone has a different style and that is good as every human being is unique. To project this uniqueness, you should find out what reflects your personality or what feeling do you want to see in the objects decorating your surroundings? Our aim is to calm your mind to get you in a relaxed state, but to let you feel at home at the same time. That is why used a basic colour scheme with beige, crème, white, brown.
It also reflects the surrounding nature, so we have a harmonious environment. But not only that…
2. The right accent!
So, we established that the basic colour scheme is your canvas. Canvas for what? For all the eye catchers you want to put on stage.?
What is it that you want to highlight? Choose a few objects that you want your visitors’ eyes to catch. We included colourful and handmade table sets from Africa and colourful dining room chairs for the living room made in Italy. What eye catchers are your style? Red Tulips, beautiful painting on the wall or a handwoven carpet? Remember: less is more!
3. What’s the pattern?
Now we have the Canvas with coloured accents sent and what comes next?
Some texture!?How? Through the application of patterns…
We have lovely hand-made metal lamps from Morocco with an elaborate oriental ornament design.?Or our hand carved bed headboard that decorates your home in bohemian style. What type of pattern is yours? Oriental or Western? Romantic or Classic? Find it by experimenting!
Once you have found the right style for your pattern, stick to it and do not use to many different pattern styles, otherwise, you will get dizzy.
4. Natural light
Basic colour scheme, accents, pattern and now??
What we need now, as every stage, is the right lightning. The best one is of course the natural light, through big windows. However, installing some spots at the right angles or interesting lamps, with the adequate brightness will set the right mood.

Depending on the home measurements you have, you might opt for the one or the other. Perhaps a well situated lamp will reduce the costs you might have from installing huge window frames. Try what you ever works best for you.
5. Coziness
All design is useless, if you do not feel comfortable. So why not create some cozy spaces, sitting areas, lounging spaces. And that has not only to be inside but also outside.
At every property from Only Summer, you will find large indoor and outdoor spaces, to just rest and relax. Some wooden benches in soft colours in shadowed areas in the garden, lots of cushions on comfortable sofas and located so you will have a beautiful view. Our vacation homes feel like home, because you can relax and feel the coziness all around.
6. Functionality
A home is a place where you live and our vacation properties are made so you would feel at home. How do we achieve that?
Well, we talked about coziness, but the other part you need is functionality. If you have a beautiful table, but you cannot use it for your dinner, what good does it to your home? Beauty and use is the key to build a home. Why not combine those?
7. Mind the walls!
I know, more tips? Haven’t we covered now all rules for a perfectly designed home? Not quite yet.?
There are a little trick still missing, the spacing. You do not want a crowded room or you’ll feel claustrophobic. That is why you should not push all your furniture to the wall. Us the middle, so you can walk around the furniture and this will make the room larger, kinesthetically speaking. Why? Because you can move around.
Now you are ready to design your home in our Only Summer Style and if you need more inspiration, why not come and visit one of our vacation home?
