Dubai summers are not for the faint-hearted! They are melt-your-makeup-off, don’t-touch-the-car-seat HOT!! When the sun is blazing at 40+°C with humidity levels so high that you start to question your life choices, the only sensible thing to do is stay inside and make your home feel like a cool, stylish summer escape.
Enter Heart Cottage Lane’s summer essentials: floral splendour by Pip Studio, whimsical charm from Yvonne Ellen, and timeless luxury with La Porcellana Bianca.
So, pour yourself something icy, and let us help you elevate your space with style.
Pip Studio: Vintage Charm & Playful Elegance
If you’re looking for pieces to brighten up any room, then this is the brand for you. Rooted in Dutch flair and vintage-inspired designs, Pip Studio offers:
- Bold floral designs full of colour and personality that will bring the summer inside.
- Artistic vases that make perfect centrepieces or decorative highlights.
- Exquisite table linens and teatime essentials like cake plates from their Royal Collection, or the breakfast set from the Love Birds Collection.
These key pieces make for happy decor: a fusion of colour, print, and everyday usability that truly makes your interior come alive.
Yvonne Ellen: Whimsical Accents That Delight
Keep things lively with this British-born brand with a quirky charm! They have:
- Fun ceramics like the Doggie Sandwich Plates and the Giraffe Stacking Measuring Cups.
- Attractive and functional aprons, oven gloves, and tea towels. Plus a choice of iconic cheetah print or cute penguin and polar bear designs that will add a pop of fun to your kitchen.
- Mugs and glassware with unique and fun prints.
It’s decor with a bit of cheek - bringing joy without overwhelming sophistication.
La Porcellana Bianca: Elevated Summer Entertaining
As daylight softens, it’s time to let the dishes do the talking. This is the perfect brand to use as a base for your entertaining and then add some pops of colour of your own.
- The Giulietta Collection has a dainty intricate design along their edges, almost like lace.
- Whereas the Romeo plates have more of a fluted edge.
- Both collections are in white and are easy to mix and match with existing tableware you may already own.
This is luxury that complements and does not compete with the brighter, livelier elements around it.
Top Tips to Refresh Your Space with Summer Themed Accessories
- Switch to Lighter Tones – Gentle neutrals with bursts of coral, mint, yellow, and blue using candles, vases, or frames.
- Mix in Different Textures – Think woven placemats, cushions, or rattan lamps.
- Add Greenery – Add a vase with bamboo or eucalyptus.
- Rotate Artwork – Switch to botanical or seaside prints for a subtle seasonal shift.
