7 Statement Summer Finds That Will Spruce Up Your Home

Spring is for cleaning out closets, and summer is for redecorating your home. We’re not talking big-scale, furniture upheavals or extravagant renovations – instead, invest in a few new decor pieces to imbibe your interiors with a refreshing, summer-ready energy. Bring on the heat with these new and soon-to-launch pieces:

Dior

Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dioriviera ready-to-wear capsule collection was the muse for the maison’s latest home decor pieces, which pay tribute to natural materials and a sense of gentle living. Expect to see the label’s iconic Cannage print and Toile de Jouy patterns along with tropical palm trees and muted, neutral tones. From water vessels and glasses to a folding fan and luxe backgammon set, these glorious items are must-have additions to your summer home, and also make wonderful gifts for any housewarming events on the calendar this season.

Maison Balzac

Established in Australia by French-born entrepreneur Elise Pioch Balzac, who previously worked at Hermès in Paris, Maison Balzac designs tablescaping essentials – or “jewellery for the table,” in the founder’s words. Imaginative vases, glasses and linens – such as cloth napkins and placemats shaped like hands and swans – are bound to enliven your dining table.

Assouline

Books may be the main characters of your home library, but every literary haven needs decorative accents to add depth and design to the shelves. Assouline, publisher of luxury art, fashion, travel and culture hardbacks, has launched The Library Collection, which features a selection of brass, leather and wood bookends in the brand’s signature hues of red, brown and camel. You don’t have to be a bookworm to appreciate the elegance underlying these geek-meets-chic pieces.
