The days are getting longer. The sun is getting warmer. Is your home ready?
There’s a moment each year when winter finally loosens its grip. The windows open for the first time in months. The heavy blankets get folded and stored. And suddenly, your home feels… heavy. Dark. Out of step with the season outside.
Summer is coming. And your space deserves a refresh.
At Kino, we believe furniture should evolve with the seasons—just like your wardrobe, your routines, and your mood. Here’s how to lighten up your home for the warmer months ahead.
1. Swap Heavy Fabrics for Breathable Options
Winter is for warmth. Chunky knits. Plush velvets. Deep, cozy textures that trap heat and keep you snug.
Summer is the opposite.
When temperatures rise, the last thing you want is to sink into a sofa that feels like a blanket. That’s why we recommend switching to breathable fabrics that let air circulate and skin breathe.
Try this: Our linen collection is perfect for summer. Linen naturally wicks moisture, stays cool to the touch, and gets softer with every wash. Available across our sofa beds, armchairs, and dining chairs, it’s the ultimate warm-weather upholstery.
Pro tip: Light colors reflect heat and light. A cream or sand-colored linen sofa can instantly make a room feel airier.
2. Embrace Lighter Silhouettes
Winter furniture tends to be bulky. Deep seating. Oversized proportions. The kind of pieces you sink into and never want to leave.
Summer calls for something different. Pieces that feel open. Elevated. Unfussy.
Try this: Our dining chairs with open backs and slim profiles create visual breathing room. The Rotating Chair Series, with its sleek base and compact footprint, adds function without visual weight. Even our sofas come in streamlined designs that float in a room rather than dominating it.
Pro tip: Consider furniture with visible legs. Pieces that hover above the floor make a space feel larger and lighter—perfect for summer entertaining.
3. Bring the Outdoors In (Safely)
Summer is when we crave connection with nature. The challenge? Keeping that connection without inviting bugs, dirt, and humidity inside.
Try this: Our waterproof and anti-stain fabric technology is a game-changer for summer living. Spilled lemonade? Muddy paws? Sweaty post-beach lounging? No problem. Circle yarn fabric repels liquids and wipes clean in seconds—so you can relax without stressing about the furniture.
Available across select sofas, chairs, and ottomans, these pieces are designed for real summer life.
Pro tip: Add a few indoor plants near your Kino furniture to complete the fresh, natural vibe. The clean lines of our designs provide the perfect backdrop for greenery.
4. Create Flexible Spaces for Entertaining
Summer means guests. Barbecues. Movie nights that stretch late into warm evenings. Your furniture needs to adapt.
Try this: Our sofa bed collection is summer entertaining’s best friend. By day, stylish seating. By night, an extra bed for overnight guests. No awkward air mattresses. No last-minute scrambling.
For smaller spaces, our foldable designs tuck away easily when not needed—then reappear in seconds when guests arrive.
Pro tip: Arrange seating in clusters rather than against walls. Conversation flows better, and the room feels more inviting for social gatherings.
5. Let There Be Light
Summer is about lightness in every sense. Not just physically, but visually.
Dark wood. Heavy drapes. Dense arrangements. These work in winter but can feel suffocating when the sun is blazing.
Try this: Our lighter wood finishes and metal accents reflect light beautifully. The Shuangwai Series, with its blend of materials, adds visual interest without heaviness. Consider swapping dark accessories for lighter alternatives—or simply removing a few items to create breathing room.
Pro tip: Mirrors opposite windows double the natural light in a room. Position one near your Kino sofa, and watch the space transform.
6. Protect Your Investment
Summer brings unique challenges to furniture: more sunlight, more humidity, more activity. A little prevention goes a long way.
Try this: Our durable, fade-resistant fabrics are tested for colorfastness—so that gorgeous blue sofa stays gorgeous blue, even in sunny rooms. For extra protection, consider rotating cushions regularly and using blinds during peak sun hours.
Pro tip: Keep a simple fabric cleaner handy. With our stain-resistant materials, most spills wipe away with water and mild soap. No special treatments needed.
7. Rethink Your Outdoor Connection
If you have a balcony, patio, or garden, summer is when it becomes an extra room. Make the most of it.
Try this: While Kino specializes in indoor furniture, many of our pieces work beautifully in covered outdoor areas. Our durable construction and weather-resistant fabric options mean you can create a seamless transition between inside and out.
Pro tip: Choose pieces that can move easily. A lightweight chair or small stool can travel from living room to balcony as needed, adapting to your summer rhythms.
Your Summer Refresh Starts Here
You don’t need a full renovation to welcome summer. Sometimes, small changes make the biggest difference.
A new fabric. A lighter silhouette. A layout that flows.
At Kino, we’ve spent 20 years creating furniture that adapts to real life—including life in the sunshine. Browse our collections, find pieces that speak to your summer spirit, and get ready for the warmest season of all.
After all, summer isn’t just a season. It’s a feeling. Let your furniture reflect it.
