Shop The Edit: Natasha Penzo’s Summer Decor Picks for 2024

Opt for Breezy Textiles 

Lighten up your space with airy, breathable fabrics. Swap out winter’s heavy drapes for gauzy curtains or sheer blinds that softly diffuse sunlight. Embrace linens and cottons for cushions and throws to keep your home feeling cool and relaxed.

 Incorporate Bright, Vibrant Colors
