I find myself scrolling through The Galleria Al Maryah Island website regularly to source fresh items that I think are particularly noteworthy for my home. While we love the summer heat, realistically, we can’t bear the blistering warmth and find ourselves unable to escape it at times. This leaves us with one essential solution: creating our very own nature-inspired oasis at home to escape the summer heat.

As the Abu Dhabi Summer of Style event kicks off at The Galleria from July 7th – July 11th, you’ll find a wide selection of summer sales, and it’s brimming with thousands of fantastic interior finds up to 80% off. For me, I constantly find myself choosing my top picks from Zara Home, West Elm and Pottery Barn as they stock a new array of top-notch pieces filled with nature-inspired accents that can easily be incorporated into any home. As part of the Summer of Style event, you can enjoy a wide selection of live-streamed ‘in conversation workshops and styling sessions that will teach you how to style up your home fashionably.

If you are looking to bring the outdoors inside your home, The Galleria has a few things that you can do.

Using natural materials in your home decor adds the greatest touch of the outdoors indoors. Whether you are using bamboo blinds for your windows, wood salt and pepper shakers or even a wooden bowl, these can be the most significant way to give your home a bit of the outdoorsy flavour.

The simplest yet stylish way to incorporate the outdoors within your home is by adding a soft accent of outdoor-inspired artwork throughout your home. You can opt for a subtle picture of birds or animals, lakes, oceans or even a garden to feel the fresh greenery inside your home. This set-up will create a soothing yet relaxing environment in your living space.
