When it comes to embracing the summer season, many people choose to enjoy the weather by taking a dip in the pool or spending time at the beach. You can also celebrate the season by redecorating the home to ensure that the warm weather complements the interior design. From changing the shades that are used with the decor to adding bright prints on the walls, there are a few ways to have fun with summer decor.
Switch Out the Linens
From curtains in the living room to the towels that are used in the bathroom, it’s important to embrace a color palette that suits the warm season. Consider swapping out neutral linens for turquoise or coral shades to create a tropical vibe in the home. You can also add a white duvet cover or woven pillows to a bed for a bright and airy style that doesn’t feel so heavy. For couch pillows, use bright covers with decorative patterns for linens that can easily be removed once the summer season passes.
Add More Plants
Create a lighter mood indoors by planting succulents in a few pots that can be used throughout the home. You can also create a few hanging succulent terrariums that may be used in the kitchen or dining room for a beautiful style that adds an organic touch. You can also consider using a fig leaf tree in the living room for a natural shade of green that will brighten up the room without relying on a fake plant. Try placing the base of the tree in a wicker basket for a rustic style that makes it blend in with the surrounding decor.
When decorating the dining table or coffee table, add a fresh bouquet of flowers in a decorative vase to incorporate more colors and have it work as a natural piece of decor.
Paint Accent Furniture
Brighten up the home by giving your old furniture a face lift. If you have a drab accent chair or coffee table, give it a fresh coat of paint with a bright shade to enhance the home’s design and allow it to look professionally decorated. Vintage or outdated pieces that are painted a bright shade will add a pop of color to the room and will allow it to feel welcoming.
Hang a Few Extra Mirrors
Using extra mirrors in the home not only adds extra decor to a bedroom or hallway, but they can also allow the home to feel more illuminated with the natural light that is present. Mirrors allow the sunlight to reflect more and will allow the home to appear fresh during the summer season without relying on lamps or overhead lights. Consider shopping at flea markets for rattan or wicker mirrors for beachy decor that complements the warm weather.
Add Nautical Elements
Embrace the summer season with nautical elements that can be used throughout your space. Replace your heavy winter doormat with one that has an anchor on it. A rustic life preserver can also be hung on a bathroom wall for an added touch of summer. You can even use a long piece of fishnet on your dining table to be used as a runner that sets the tone.
