I am a firm believer that the design of a space can affect how we feel. Light and airy, dark and moody, and whimsical designs all have a way of delightfully creeping into our psyche. A Mid century modern living room, a personal style favorite of mine, makes me want to whip up a cocktail and host a social hour with my friends. Don’t ask me why.

It’s no surprise that a change in season also brings a change to our interior needs or desires.

My favorite season, summer, is almost upon us, and along with the sunshine, comes a home fresh out of spring cleaning season, and an inevitable desire to “switch things up.” More flowers make their way into our homes, and our wheels start to turn in search of just how we can “liven up” our space.

This is also the season moving companies look forward to with excitement, preparing themselves for the onslaught of business that summer normally brings. As a result, renters and homeowners everywhere are in need of a little design inspiration. Therefore, I knew this would be the perfect time to bring you the first installment in what I am calling the “Style Files,” a new series.

Since launching Chic Misfits, I’ve received so many great responses to the interior style schemes that have appeared in various posts here. In addition to this, I’ve found great joy in designing them. Honestly, I could spend all day dreaming up a space that’s just begging to be made into reality. As a perfect solution, the Style Files will give you more of the clear interior style outlines you desire, and feed my soul as well!

Once a month, a new interior style plan will be created to give you inspiration for your design direction. Think of it as a style blueprint. Whether you’re refreshing a space or relocating and looking for a complete overhaul, each plan can be tweaked as needed, or used as a complete guide.

We’re starting off the Style Files series this month with a space that will get anyone in the mood for sunny days ahead. I’ve also combined one of my favorite styles, and created a “Summer Mid Century Chic” living room. See below for sources and tips to tweak this design throughout the seasons.

How to Tweak

This space may be “Summer Mid Century Chic,” but with a few changes, it can transition through any season. Simply change out the golden pillow for a velvet burnt orange, or cognac leather pillow.

Next, swap out the current art for neutral art.

 

In the winter months, add a faux fur throw.

 

And there you have it. Your Mid Century chic living room can give you a summer pick-me-up all year long. Essentially, this can be done with any room in your home that you’ve designed based on a particular season. Just switch out a few accent pieces to tweak the mood.
