Decorate your home summer-ready with the most beautiful textiles of the season! A colorful decorative pillow, a light blanket, or fresh bathroom textiles are a quick way to create a cheery atmosphere. We put together nine textile tips that brighten up every room.

1. Created in collaboration with Dutch designer Carole Baijings, Fatboy’s Original Slim Pop bean bag is part of the brand’s playful Pop Of Colour collection. 2. Suitable for the kitchen or bathroom, the Laine hand towel by Lapuan Kankurit is lightweight, quick-drying, and perfected with fringed ends. 3. Match Hay's Dot cushion with your sofa, lounge chair, or bedcover, or get it in all your favorite colors. 

4. The Marimekko Nimikko bath towel is a true classic that never goes out of style and is adorned with a two-toned stripe pattern. 5. The Orvokki cushion cover from Kauniste features Hannele Äijälä’s delightful floral pattern that depicts large violets in yellow, pink, and light blue. 6. Woven of a blend of wool and cotton, Ferm Living’s Squares kelim rugs combine eastern rug traditions with Scandinavian design. 

7. Designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Artek, the Rivi cushion cover features a unique textile pattern that comprises rows of long, parallel lines with delicate details. 8. Made of a stuffed wool tube, the XL Knot is a larger version of the traditional Knot cushion and delights in a reading corner or next to a sofa. 9. &Tradition’s Collect throw charms with its crinkled organic cotton weave and fringed ends.
