Our Favourite Summer Colour Palettes for a Bright and Beautiful Home
Summer is the perfect time to refresh your interiors. As the days grow longer and the light floods in, your home becomes the ideal canvas for experimenting with seasonal shades. At Wish Interiors, we believe that your space should feel as uplifting as a summer breeze—and this season, we’re loving a trio of colours that do just that: soft sage, buttery yellow, and ocean blues. These hues are bright, balanced, and bring just the right amount of warmth and calm into any room.
1. Soft Sage: A Breath of Fresh Air
Soft sage is the new neutral for summer. This gentle green brings the outdoors in, echoing nature’s soothing presence. It’s ideal for living rooms and bedrooms, where relaxation is key. Try pairing soft sage with natural textures like rattan, jute rugs, and wooden furniture to create a calm, earthy atmosphere.
At Wish Interiors, our hand-finished velvet cushions and distressed wood sideboards look stunning alongside this tone. For a bold-but-beautiful statement, consider one of our upholstered armchairs in a sage-toned fabric—it brings subtle elegance without overpowering the space.
2. Buttery Yellow: A Touch of Sunshine
If you’re looking to add warmth and joy to your home, buttery yellow is your go-to. It’s a softer, creamier take on yellow that feels effortlessly cheerful without being too bold. In kitchens, it can brighten up cabinetry or a breakfast nook. In hallways, a splash of buttery yellow on the walls adds instant warmth and makes a welcoming first impression.
We particularly love this colour on accent pieces—think ceramics, throws, or even a painted side table. Our curated collection includes several accessories in buttery yellow that help lift darker corners and give your space a sense of glow, even on a cloudy day.
3. Ocean Blues: Cool, Calm and Collected
Evoking sea and sky, ocean blues are a classic summer choice. This colour family ranges from misty pale tones to deeper, richer shades—each bringing a different mood to your room. Ocean blues work beautifully in bathrooms and bedrooms, helping to create a spa-like calm.
One of our favourite ways to use ocean blues is through soft furnishings—layering cushions, throws and even rugs for a relaxed, coastal-inspired look. Browse our range of textiles to find pieces that work with both modern and vintage styles, blending seamlessly into your existing décor.
Styling Tips for Summer
To make the most of your summer palette:
• Mix and match your tones. Soft sage, buttery yellow, and ocean blues all complement each other beautifully when used in the right balance.
• Use light fabrics like linen and cotton to match the season’s breezy feel.
• Add metallic touches—gold and brass go especially well with these colours—for that extra hint of summer shine.
