Summer’s warm sunshine and longer days encourage you to craft a place that represents the season’s easygoing spirit. Tuck away those heavy winter throws and put aside bulky bedding – it is the right time to embrace a breezy and free-spirited feel with appropriate decor. Below are several money-saving tips that will help you organize a perfect summer sanctuary in your living space. Include Mamma Mia furniture covers in your interiors to refresh their look without breaking the bank.
Let the Sunshine In: Delicate and Breezy Accents
Get rid of heavy drapes – swap them for transparent curtains that gently filter sunlight, instantly brightening your rooms. Replace heavy throws and pillows with breezy linen or cotton alternatives. Think smooth, natural textures that feel cool against your skin on warm days.
Incorporate a coastal touch into the room using natural features. A rattan chair or bamboo side table adds instant beachy vibes to a living room or patio. Scatter decorative touches like bowls overflowing with seashells, snag sculptures, or wicker baskets that inspire a seaside relaxing vibe.
For an extra dose of fun turn your outdoor space into a relaxing spot with a hammock or swing chair. Imagine the gentle sway and a book in hand – pure summer bliss awaits.
Embrace the Verdant Essence of Summer: Welcome Greenery Indoors
Nothing says summer quite like lush greenery. Houseplants not only purify the air but also create a calming atmosphere. Make a statement with a fiddle leaf fig or monstera in your living room or entryway.
Fresh flowers are another fantastic solution to brighten up your space. A vibrant bouquet of sunflowers or daisies on your dining table or kitchen counter instantly refreshes the room and brings a touch of summer elegance.
Interested in maximizing space and setting up a spectacular focal point? Think about a vertical garden or living wall. These innovative solutions allow you to enable landscaping without sacrificing floor space.
Can’t afford fresh flowers or plants all summer? There is another great idea. Botanical prints are a reasonably priced way to add bright colors and textures to any decor. Choose decorative cushions, wall art, or bedding featuring tropical themes. A floral or wildlife print pillow can instantly brighten up a couch, while an art piece with a botanical print provides a splash of color on the wall.
Summer’s Palette: Refreshing Colors for a Cool Atmosphere
Think light, bright, and refreshing. Here are two popular color palettes to spark your creativity and transform your space into a summer oasis:
- Coastal Cool: Use hues of azure, turquoise, and sky blue to achieve a pure and fresh ambiance. Balance these cooler tones with crisp whites for a clean backdrop. Paint an accent wall in a soft blue tone or add blue and white accents on the pillows, rugs, or artwork. Natural textures like rattan or driftwood complement this palette perfectly, further encouraging the relaxed and serene coastal vibe.
- Sunny Cheer: For a more vibrant and edgy effect, consider implementing sunny yellows and pastel shades into your summer color theme. Yellow represents happiness and optimism. It is an excellent choice to infuse your area with warmth and positivity. From soft buttery yellows to vibrant lemon tones, there’s a shade of yellow to suit every taste. Pair yellow with soft pastel hues like blush pink, mint green, or lavender to create a whimsical and inviting summer look.
Light and Airy Textiles: The Finishing Touch
Don’t forget the finishing touch! To truly capture the breezy essence of summer, swap out your heavy fabrics for light and airy textiles. This will create a cool and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the rest of your summer decor refresh.
Opt for lightweight fabrics like linen, cotton, or sheer voile for curtains, throws, and cushions. These fabrics make a visual impact and help keep your rooms feeling cool and comfortable during the warmer months.
Enhance your living room or bedroom with a hint of luxurious comfort by incorporating statement pieces such as a linen throw blanket or a cotton area rug. These additions craft a space that feels both airy and welcoming.
Invest in some high-quality outdoor textiles made for your patio or deck.
Outdoor living gets an upgrade with stylish and comfortable rugs, cushions, and throws made from weather-resistant materials. They are not just easy to maintain – these outdoor textiles add a touch of elegance and comfort to a space you love.
A little creativity and these simple changes will help you make a dining space perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing with family on warm summer evenings. Ditch those heavy drapes, embrace the lush greenery indoors and out, and let the sunshine flood the area. Transform your decor into a reflection of summer’s joy and carefree spirit – a place where relaxation and happiness reign supreme.
