After winter, it is time to welcome summers with open arms and cheerful spirit. And summers, as we all know is a time to lighten up – your wardrobe, furnishings, home décor, and bring in the freshness of the outside world into your homes to best enjoy the season. Here are few tips to beat the heat this upcoming summer and make your home ready.
Add and Remove
Decorating your home according to season is easier if you are focused and know what to keep, what to throw away and what to stow away for next year. Put away all the heavy furniture, woolen carpets, rugs or anything that were giving a warm feeling to your home and bring out all the soft cotton rugs in floral prints and sheer curtains in whites, pastel shades like baby pinks, powder blues as you get your home ready for the summer.
Cushions and Curtains Charisma
Put away all the dark colored, heavy fabric cushions and curtains. Instead bring out the lacy trims, sheers, and soft cottons in shades of fresh fruits like watermelon, musk melon, mangoes, or fresh floral prints to bring in summer freshness to your home décor. Take down the heavy curtains and go for cotton curtains available in hues like fresh lemon, green apple, watermelon red, candyfloss pinks to get into the spirit of summer this season.
Summer means going light on your wardrobe, your food and similarly on your home décor. So stow away all the heavy furniture if you can and instead bring out the light weight cane furniture. If stowing away is not possible then use cushions in summer shades to get your home summer ready this season.
Think Fresh, Think Summer
Summer is the season of freshness everywhere. Fragrance of fresh flowers, fresh blades of grass erupting from earth is a sight to enjoy and summer is also the season to bring all this freshness into your homes and your lives as well. So throw open the doors and windows and let the dampness of the cold, chilly winters be a thing of the past and let the fresh air flow through your home to give it a summery fragrance. Bring in fresh plants and flowers in your home and line them either in the hallway or in the drawing room.
Think Color
Are you the artsy type? If yes, then let your creative juices flow with some paints, ceramic vases, and pots this season.
