Just because Christmas is our speciality doesn’t mean we don’t know how to bring the heat when summer rolls in. In fact, for spaces that thrive on atmosphere, it’s time to decorate your business for summer, which is one of the easiest ways to boost foot traffic, create social-media-worthy visuals, and keep your customers smiling.

Here’s how to give your space a summer makeover that stands out just as much as your December displays.

Lanterns

Paper lanterns are a standout choice for summer décor, offering a playful pop of colour and a soft, ambient glow that instantly lifts the mood of any space. Lanterns are lightweight and easy to hang, so they’re great for creating height and visual impact, especially outdoors.

Festoon Lights

Festoon lights are the ultimate summer décor staple – classic, versatile, and effortlessly charming. With their large bulbs and vintage-inspired glow, they instantly create a warm, inviting atmosphere that works just as well in a buzzing beer garden as it does across a boutique window. Festoon lights are wonderful at creating a soft glow in the evening twilight and really set the mood for the night ahead. They are an effortless way to add instant character to your space.

String Lights

String lights are a simple yet powerful way to transform your space with a dainty glow. They come in a wide range of colours to suit any décor theme and are perfect for creating everything from subtle accent lighting to a full-on summer glow. Drape them along shelves, wrap them around signs, or hang them from above. String lights offer an affordable, easy-to-install solution that works beautifully in window displays, retail environments, hospitality spaces, or outdoor patios. Whether you choose classic white or playful pastel, they bring a soft, inviting glow that makes your business feel both welcoming and on-trend.

Why Lighting Matters More Than Ever in Summer

While natural daylight is abundant, the evening atmosphere is where your lighting really comes to life. A well-lit patio, glowing display, or softly illuminated corner can be the difference between someone walking by or walking in. Plus, lighting keeps your space on-brand and on-season, without needing a complete makeover.
