Hello World! Welcome Friends! Your home is the place where you spend most of your time, whether you’re relaxing in the living room with your favorite TV show or sleeping in your bed at night. With summer around the corner, now is the perfect time to make some changes. Here are 6 ways to make your home feel more summery this year.
1. Natural Sunlight
The sunshine is arguably the best part of summer, so take advantage of the sunny weather by letting lots of natural sunlight into your home to complement interior lighting. You can replace blackout curtains with sheer drapes, or you can simply open your drapes if it’s not too hot outside. If you’re going to leave your drapes open, you should choose windows that aren’t on the southern side of your home, as southern-facing windows get the most direct sunlight.
2. Flowers and Plants
The beautiful natural scenery is one of the best parts of summer, and you can bring that feeling into your home with flowers and plants. You can spruce up any room in your home with summer flower arrangements, and plants are a great way to complement those flowers. Even better, some plants can help improve indoor air quality so you can breathe better in your home.
3. Revamp Your Patio
When it comes to enjoying the summer weather, your patio is the best place to be. With summer around the corner, now is the perfect time to revamp your patio to transform it into a true outdoor living space. Outdoor chairs, benches, and tables create a comfortable spot for guests to relax. As the sun goes down, you can light up a fire in your fire pit and relax with drinks. Your guests won’t want to leave when they spend an evening enjoying your beautiful outdoor living space.
4. Invest in a Grill
Cookouts are a cornerstone of summer, so your home can’t truly feel summery without a good grill. Whether you opt for charcoal or propane, make sure you pick up a grill before summer rolls around. You can get the best deals on grills outside the peak season, plus you’ll have a wider selection available to you. Just make sure you buy a high-quality grill that’s large enough to cook for the whole family and then some.
5. Lawn Care
Bringing the summer look indoors is important, but you want your home to feel summery on the outside, too. Now that it’s summer, you can mow and edge your lawn and get rid of weeds. You can also pick a spot to plant a garden if you want to do that. A well-maintained bright green lawn will make your home look its best with the blue sky and sun serving as a backdrop.
6. A Fresh Coat of Paint
Painting your home is one of the simplest things you can do to transform its appearance. If you’re going for a summery feel, you can choose bright paint colors that you might not normally choose. These colors are particularly great for accent walls, which you can match with rugs, throws and drapes. Before you paint, take a look at as many colors as possible. If you like a color, you can always test it out on something else to see if you’re happy with the way it looks before you paint a wall.
It’s easy to let your home become dull and boring, but there are lots of ways to bring a bright, summery feel indoors. Whether you paint a room, fix up your lawn, or buy some patio furniture, you can turn your home into a summer-like paradise all year long.
