Many people take the new season as a cue to overhaul their wardrobe, so why should our homes be any different? The summer is the ideal time to give our home a summer makeover, but that doesn’t mean we have to make drastic changes. A few changes here and there can make a big difference to the aesthetic and atmosphere of a room. Mainly, we want to be able to make the most of the natural light as brighter homes help us to inject our daily lives with a bit more optimism. To help you bring the summer into your home, here are 7 ideas to get you started.
- Swap the Artwork
Take down the dark tones and chunky frames and replace them with light frames and watercolour artwork. It’s a quick and inexpensive way to lift the room and make it seem fresher.
- Bring Nature Inside
Freshly cut flowers in a simple vase will smell and look like summer itself, and you can choose those which work best with your colour palette. Bright colours are great, but white can also make a big impact if positioned correctly. Green plants are also a great way to bring in both colour and to improve the air quality in the room.
- Install a High Quality Tv for Ultimate TV Experience
You’ve probably spent a lot of time this winter celebrating Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. Don’t you deserve to spend some quality time with your family, watching a movie together in your home? With the ultimate entertainment tv from Ledmond, you can do just that. It is easy to install, so you can have it up and running in a few hours. Thanks to the adjustable feet on the tv stand, you can easily adjust the height of your tv to your liking.
- Use Coloured Accessories
Sunshine and bright colours are a match made in heaven, but pastel and candy shades will work equally well if you’re not keen on bright colours. An easy way to introduce summer colours into your room is to bring in accessories like light shades, rugs, throws, cushion covers, or a vase. You can bring in several pieces which are of the same colour to introduce a theme.
- Choose Light Fabrics
In the winter we often favour dark colours and thick fabrics for that comforting and cosy feel, but in summer we should be looking for lighter fabrics which are cooler. If you want to have cushions, throws, and curtains that match, why not choose a fabric and have them custom made? You can even get a custom curtain track or pole at Poles and Blinds.
- Maximise Natural Light
The long summer evenings are one of the best parts of the season and we want to make the most of it in our homes. Instead of using the main overhead light, why not try several smaller lamps with a softer light which will give a more subtle glow to the room.
- Capture the Holiday Vibe
We all know that summer holiday feeling with the warm weather, all-day sunlight, and that general feeling of contentment. If you have memories of a summer holiday like that, why not recreate it at home? Take inspiration from the interior design you saw over there and, if you have them, get out the souvenirs you brought back.
- Reorganise the Space
Consider moving your furniture to literally change your point of view. If you have a large window or patio doors, rearrange the seating so you can enjoy the natural light, look out at the summer weather and enjoy your garden.
