As the days get longer and the light gets warmer, there's no better time to refresh your home with a summer-ready take on rustic style. Western interiors don't need to feel heavy or dark, especially when it's easy to bring in seasonal updates that brighten your space without losing the charm you love.

From sunwashed tones to breezy bedding, here's how to update your Western decor for summer and make your home feel relaxed, refreshed, and full of warm-weather personality.

Start with Lighter Layers

One of the easiest ways to embrace the season is by switching out your heavier bedding and textiles for lighter options. Our collection of quilts and coverlets offers breathable, summery alternatives to bulky duvets, which are perfect for staying cool while still looking layered and styled.

Opt for lighter color palettes with desert-inspired neutrals, dusty turquoise, faded reds, or washed-out florals. These tones feel true to the Western aesthetic but capture that easy summer mood.

Bring in Sunwashed Color & Natural Textures

This season is all about effortless charm. Replace deep winter tones with weathered, sunwashed hues. Think of how Western landscapes soften under the summer sun—muted terra cotta, bleached denim, faded ochre. These colors are perfect for throw pillows, table linens, and decorative accents.

You can also incorporate natural textures like jute, cotton, and lightweight wool. A neutral woven rug grounds a space while allowing decorative pieces and furniture to pop. Pair with rustic wood elements or a Pendleton throw for a balance of comfort and ruggedness.

Look to Fashion for Inspiration

Western fashion trends often guide what's next in home decor, and in 2025, we're seeing lots of fringe, suede, vintage boots, and classic Western wear cross into interiors. All-wood rooms with exposed beams and natural grain are taking center stage. Use this as a cue to simplify your space: pare back to pieces that feel timeworn, functional, and full of character.

Add a subtle nod to this trend by draping a Pendleton blanket across a bench or hanging a wide-brimmed hat on the wall as art. These small styling choices feel authentic and lived-in.

Seasonal Decor, Subtly Western

Swapping in a few seasonal accessories can freshen your home without requiring a full redesign. Our spring and summer collection includes easy-to-style decor that still keeps your Western roots in mind. Look for simple centerpieces, floral motifs, or small horse and boot accents that feel light and seasonal.

A cotton table runner, soft linen napkins, or ceramic serving ware can make your dining space feel ready for outdoor suppers and sunlit brunches, even indoors.

Keep the Mood Breezy and Inviting

Western homes are rooted in comfort, and summer style should only enhance that. Think open windows, linen drapes, tactile accents, and soft color transitions throughout your space. Layer textures without overwhelming. Keep your favorite Western elements front and center, but give them breathing room by letting natural light and neutral tones set the scene.

This time of year is all about gathering, resting, and reconnecting. A well-loved space that reflects both your style and the season is the perfect backdrop.
