With the days getting longer and the weather improving, you will want to make sure that your home looks its best and is comfortable for the summer months. It can be a great feeling to update your home decor for the summer months and will allow you to really embrace this time of the year. Here are a few ideas that should help.
Alfresco Dining Area
Taking your dining experience outside is a must in the warmer months of the year so that you can enjoy the warmth, colour and life in the garden. You will want to set up an alfresco dining area in the garden so that you can invite guests over for dinner and drinks outside.
The Kitchen
The kitchen often leads to the garden, so if you are setting up an alfresco area then you will want to add summer touches to the kitchen as well. You can do this by changing the colour to a brighter shade, by adding pops of colours like yellow and by changing the lighting. Adding pendant lighting over the dining table can create an added boost of light as the day turns to night, in a soft and subtle way.
The Living Room
You do not want a dark and dingy living room during the summer months, so you want to make this a light, airy and comfortable space. You can do this by removing winter accessories and throws, replacing curtains with blinds and adding rattan furniture to the space. Plantlife can also be a great way to bring the outside in during the summer and can add colour and life. You can get an alternative to decorated subscription box as additional decor for your living space.
The Bedroom
There is no space more important than the bedroom, but many people find it hard to sleep when the temperature remains high even at night. Linen sheets and a lighter duvet can make a big difference and make it easier to fall and stay asleep. Natural light in the bedroom can be helpful for waking up in the morning and for regulating circadian rhythm, but if you find that the bedroom is light at night, then blackout blinds could be helpful. In addition to this, you can also make your bedroom feel summery with flowers, reed diffusers and air fresheners with summery scents.
During the warmer months of the year, you will want to make your home more comfortable and welcoming. The above are a few of the best ways to do this that should help you to really embrace the summer months and make your house feel a lot brighter, airier and breezier. Summer can be the best time of the year, but you need to make changes to the home in order to embrace this and stay comfortable throughout summer.
