With summer right around the corner, it may be time to refresh your home! Below are some tips to help you freshen up your home for this upcoming summer season.
Add Pops of Color
Color is an important tool that can set the mood of a space and have a powerful effect on one’s emotions. Adding a dash of color with a fresh new coat of paint, a bright accent wall or a touch of wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to liven up your home and create a cheerful and inviting atmosphere. This can also be achieved by incorporating colorful rugs, woven trays, vibrant pillows and light throw blankets.
Open Your Windows & Doors
Let in the fresh air by opening your windows and doors to allow the summer breeze flow throughout your space. This will help improve the indoor air quality, encourage better ventilation and remove any stale odors existing in your home.
Summer Bedding Refresh
During the cold winter months, many people rely on their heavy winter bedding to keep them warm at night. As the weather gets warmer and the seasons start to change, it is a good idea to swap out the winter bedding for lighter and more breathable fabrics like linen or cotton to help you stay cool all summer long.
Bring Nature Indoors
Bring nature into your home by adding elements like plants, branches and flowers to your entryway, kitchen, and around the rest of your house. Flowers make such a big difference and can significantly impact a room by encouraging natural tranquility and radiating summer energy. Not only do fresh-cut flowers look beautiful, but they also purify the air and can help create a fresh and relaxing environment.
Create an Outdoor Living Space
Set up some outdoor furniture, string lights, votives, plants and decor on your back patio and consider including an outdoor fire pit or fireplace. This will help create a comfortable place where you can relax, invite guests over for a cookout and enjoy the warm summer weather.
