There’s nothing like a changing season to inspire you to make small updates to your house, holiday home or simply just one room.
So, if you own your very own holiday home within a caravan park up and down the UK, or you’re simply looking for some interior inspiration for the summer months ahead, we have you covered.
Below are just a handful of ways we suggest tweaking or adding to your living spaces, to help bring the summer season into your home, ready for the summer sun to arrive. As you consider ways to infuse your caravan with summer vibes, it’s important to stay informed about the new laws for static caravan owners, which could impact how you maintain and enjoy your holiday home.

Scent
A scent can do a lot for a space. It can instantly transport you to a happier time, remind you of a memory you thought you’d forgotten, or simply make you feel at ease with its simplistic fragrance.
Adding scent to your living spaces can easily be done – you could add a scented candle, a reed diffuser, flowers, or even an electric mist diffuser.
Adding a fragrance to your rooms is an easy way to bring that summer feeling into your inside spaces.
Here are a few scents we recommend for the summer months:
- Roses
- Fresh linen
- Mandarin and grapefruit
- White neroli and lemon
- Coastal walks
Soft furnishings
Simply swapping around your soft furnishings to suit the seasons, is a great way to freshen up any room in your home or caravan.
A simple swap of cushion, from a winter/spring colour to a bright summer colour, will not only add a pop of colour to your living spaces, but welcome that summer feeling to your rooms too.
It’s not just cushions you could swap around, but blankets and throws too. Even in the summer, you’ll find yourself reaching for a blanket when the temperature drops in the evenings. You could match the colour of the vibrant cushions or complement them with a different shade or colour.
Other soft furnishings you could mix up each season, are simple touches like the colour of vases or tea towels. You’ll be surprised at the difference a coloured vase or tea towel can bring to the aesthetics and feel of a room.
Flowers and plants
A great way of bringing the outside in is with the use of flowers, plants and faux plants.
Freshly cut flowers aren’t just a great way to brighten up your space, but the perfect way to add a touch of delicate fragrance to your room too.
Of course, you can either bring a freshly cut bouquet with you that you’ve cut from your garden before heading to your caravan, or pick some up once you’ve arrived at your holiday home for extra freshness.
Although, you’ll have to remember to discard the water and flowers (or take them home with you if still in good condition) before you leave the holiday home, as it won’t be a pleasant welcome the next time you visit your holiday home.
If you’re wanting to add real plants to your holiday home, you’ll need to make sure you pick plants that can withstand not being watered on a regular basis, depending on how often you visit your holiday home.
For those looking to add a touch of nature to their living spaces, without the faff of having to water them or worry they haven’t been watered whilst you haven’t visited, faux plants are the best option for you.
Thanks to the boom of popularity for faux blooms and plants, faux plants have become more realistic over the years, helping to bring that natural look to a room.
So, will you be adding any of our suggestions to your holiday home to help bring the summer feeling inside?
