 Keep the sunshine vibes going while getting your home ready for cooler days ahead

It’s still summer in New England — the sun’s shining, iced coffee is flowing, and we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to long days and patio hangs. But as back-to-school sales start popping up and evenings turn a little crisper, it’s the perfect time to refresh your space with furniture that celebrates summer and sets you up for a cozy, stylish fall.

At Rhode Island Design Center, we’ve got everything you need to stretch out summer just a little longer — and transition into the new season with comfort and flair.

1. Layer In Comfort with MotoMotion Power Furniture

MotoMotion recliners, sofas, and sectionals are your go-to for effortless relaxation. Whether you’re recovering from a day at the beach or gearing up for the first crisp Sunday football game, power recline, adjustable lumbar, and built-in USB ports make it easy to kick back in style. Choose soft neutral tones or coastal-inspired colors to keep that summertime feel going strong.

2. The Zecliner – Because Summer Naps Are Sacred

Nothing says “end-of-summer bliss” like a perfect nap — and the Zecliner by Flexsteel delivers. With memory foam cushions, power lift assistance, and a breathable design built for real sleep, it’s ideal for lazy afternoons now and even cozier evenings as the season shifts. It’s the chair you’ll fight over when movie night rolls around.

3. Bring the Outside In with Light, Airy Textures

Keep your space feeling bright and breezy by incorporating natural textures like rattan, linen, and light wood. Accent chairs, woven ottomans, and soft area rugs help carry that relaxed, summery vibe through September and beyond. Layer in a few rich-toned pillows or throws when you’re ready for a touch of fall.

4. Make the Most of Patio Season

Rhode Island Design Center offers weather-resistant outdoor furniture perfect for those cooler evenings. Add outdoor lights, cozy cushions, and maybe a fire pit, and you’ve got yourself an extended summer sanctuary.
