Country Living Book Nook
Sunshine is a simple, reliable way to lift your mood — don’t you think?
I always notice a boost in spirits when the sun comes out. Living in a place with limited sunny days makes those bright moments feel especially precious. Even when summer is approaching, you can’t always count on blue skies, so bringing sunshine indoors with color and texture is an easy way to recreate that warm, happy feeling.
Sound good?

HELLO, HAPPY LIVING ROOM!
This living room is layered in summer-ready color and pattern, and it still feels cozy because of thoughtful furniture placement.

HELLO, HAPPY BREAKFAST NOOK!
This breakfast nook is pure cheer. Plump cushions invite lingering breakfasts of juice and seasonal berries, and a playful light fixture adds personality. Little accents in sunny hues complete the look, making the space feel bright, fresh and genuinely happy.
How can you create that happy, summery look at home?
Start with three coordinating, non-matching fabrics for pillows, curtains or upholstered pieces. Add a bold paint color to a single furniture item or an accent wall to anchor the scheme. Distribute color throughout the room with small accessories, and keep arrangements inviting so the space feels both lively and comfortable.
Do you crave a little more sunshine and happiness in your home this summer?
