Make your Home Summer Ready

Summers are about relaxing and relishing the season’s brightness. Seasonal apprises in interiors are the key to making your home summer ready. From cooling color palettes to opting for casual interiors, summer decor is easy and affordable. Updating the place with lighter colours, brighter accessories and cooler furnishings make the best options. Little things, like replacing the candles with fresh flowers and the dark mats with soft white ones, make a big difference.

Winter will soon be out of sight, and with these updates, out of mind too. So, here you have it, some of the best tips for making you home your optimal summer relaxing hub.

Curtains:

Replacing draperies with curtains is a great move when you wish to let in the cool night air and also keep out the hot sun. Draperies are normally heavy and dark materials, while curtains flowy and summer-like, and can be paired easily to give you a versatile flexibility of design in different summer months. Make sure the curtains you hang are in light colours like blues, pinks and greens. Even White curtains look amazing. When it comes to patterns, either be very basic or go for overalls.

Cushions and carpets:

Cushions and the carpet is probably the first thing, after sofas of course, which grab attention. Incorporate colorful cushions onto a simple sofa and vice versa. Though bright colours look the best, you can match your décor and choose cushions. Illustrated cushions are really in these days; they help add volume to the whole living room décor. Moreover, the carpet is an essential part that can actually make your living room area look small or big. Choose wisely.

Summer freshness:

When you think of the summer season, the vivid colours on the streets are the ones that come to mind first. Fresh flowers, greenery, colourful plants and fresh fruit centerpieces can make your home feel just like summer came in. Aromatic smell and beautiful nature around gives a rustic look and feel. If your furnishings are already too colourful, bring in things like bamboo, jute table rugs and hemp.

Furniture:

While dark tones look perfect in fall and winter, whereas the spring and summer season calls for light and buoyant colors. We know changing the whole furniture is not an easy option, so you can use removable slipcovers or coloured decorative blankets or table throws to bring in bursts of colour. Whites and neutrals are classics but you should experiment with different slipcovers that look casual but can be quickly dressed up with pillows and cushions.

Let’s face it, summers do feel good with bright colours but with kids around it can be tedious to take care of those light coloured cushions, covers and mats. So, make sure the fabrics are machine washable. You can give your home a fab summer makeover; just remember to maintain a balance between comfort and fun livable interiors.
