Hudson Valley Summer Home — Effortless Charm, Timeless Comfort
Of all the summer styles we’ve curated this season, Hudson Valley Summer Home is the one closest to my heart. Inspired by vintage American countryside living, this look evokes the kind of summer memories you want to stretch out—early farmers market mornings, garden dinners that go long into the evening, and furniture that feels as storied as it is stylish. My summers as a child were spent barefoot tending gardens, riding horses, picking wild berries, and gathering around a bonfire for s’mores. This style evokes that same easy, effortless joy that comes with the simplicity of a rural American summer.
This collection is built around a vintage-style madras rug I couldn’t stop thinking about. From there, it grew into a warm, lived-in mix of soft weathered tones—pinks, yellows, greens, and neutrals—with classic silhouettes and collected accents.
Lived-In Beauty: How Hudson Valley Style Draws from Nature’s Abundance
The colors, textures, and warmth of a farmers market haul—like these heirloom tomatoes—inspire the lived-in charm of our Hudson Valley Summer Home style. Think casual layers, vintage touches, and interiors that feel collected over time. It’s design that celebrates simplicity, comfort, and the beauty of everyday moments.

3 Standout Picks from Our Hudson Valley Collection
1. Anthropologie Fringed Indoor/Outdoor Rug in Pink (8x10)
This rug is the heart of the collection. Its madras-inspired pattern and sun-faded pink tones instantly ground a space with charm and softness. The fringe detail adds vintage character, and the indoor/outdoor material makes it durable enough for patios, porches, and garden dining areas.
2. Rejuvenation Vaughn Teak Outdoor Chair
Classic, comfortable, and endlessly versatile, this chair strikes the perfect balance between heritage and modern craftsmanship. The wide slatted back, natural teak finish, and subtle curve offer relaxed support for everything from summer reading to dinner parties.
3. Anthropologie Lottie Outdoor Table in Yellow
This sweet little accent table is the definition of cheerful utility. The soft yellow finish brings a sunny pop of color, while the sculptural base adds a playful touch. It’s perfect for holding drinks, fresh flowers, or a good book—wherever the light hits best.
Adapting the Look for Any Region
Whether you’re in the Hudson Valley or the high desert, this look is all about comfort, color, and character. Here’s how to make it work in hotter climates like Phoenix:
Use shade structures and natural textiles to keep things cool and breezy
Focus on high-performance materials that mimic vintage styles but hold up to heat
Bring in color through accessories—think planters, cushions, and tabletop decor
Layer worn finishes and reclaimed wood to build a sense of history and warmth
Final Thoughts
