MGs Summer Style Guide: Light, Bright & Breezy

Summer in Australia is all about creating spaces that feel open, airy and comfortable — especially when the temperature climbs and the afternoon sun pours in. Window furnishings play a major role in shaping how your home feels throughout the season, and the right choices can transform a room from hot and harsh to soft, cool and inviting. Our Summer Style Edition focuses on solutions that bring effortless comfort while still delivering that fresh, coastal MG aesthetic.

One of the simplest ways to embrace the season is with sheer curtains. Their lightweight nature allows natural airflow while softening harsh daylight, creating that lovely “holiday at home” glow. Sheers add movement, texture and a calming visual layer, making them ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and open-plan spaces where you want a relaxed summer feel without sacrificing privacy.

For areas that cop the brunt of the heat, light-filtering blinds are a smart addition. These blinds diffuse light, reduce glare and help regulate indoor temperatures — all while keeping your home bright. They’re especially effective in spaces facing north or west, where the afternoon sun can quickly heat up a room. Paired with sheers, they offer a perfect balance of beauty and function.

Summer styling is also about embracing natural textures. Linen, bamboo and organic cotton fabrics work beautifully because they breathe well, drape softly and complement coastal colour palettes. These materials aren’t just stylish; they’re practical. Their natural fibres respond better to heat and light, making them ideal performers in Australian conditions.

If you’re dealing with west-facing rooms, shading becomes essential. Layered solutions — such as combining sheers with blockouts or using modern day/night blinds — offer flexibility from sunrise to sunset. They allow you to soften the light during the day, block the heat in the afternoon and maintain comfort well into the evening.

This summer, create a home that feels light, bright and breezy with thoughtful, well-designed window furnishings.
