Tips for Bringing Summer Indoors
Long, sunny days and balmy, relaxed evenings mean that summer is well and truly underway! Whether you’re spending your days lounging in the garden or sipping ice-cold drinks in the shade, it’s safe to say that summer tends to bring out the best in us. So, why not bring some of that positive magic inside the home as well? If your home feels a little blue after spending all that time in the sun, then perhaps it’s time to turn up the summer vibes inside so you can enjoy this season a little longer.
Go bold
Summer is a time for expression, so think bold, bright, sunny colours for your interiors. Use warm, sunny yellows or tranquil, watery Aquas as accent colours in your living spaces. Let nature inspire you for mixing and matching different shades, such as trendy corals and jades or apple greens and lavenders. Think sunshine meadows, colourful hedgerows, and glistening beaches.
Embrace florals
Many people avoid florals for fear of creating a dated space, but there are plenty of fresh, contemporary floral patterns out there which can turn the heat up in your home while keeping it looking modern. Add a floral pattern to a couple of throw pillows or switch up the curtains for a new, effortless finish.
Go green
One of the fastest ways to liven up any space and evoke the feeling of summer is by bringing in plenty of plant life. Even if you’re terrible at keeping plants, there are plenty out there that can give you that green look without requiring too much maintenance. Look for cactuses, succulents, or spider plants to bring some zing into your living space.
Lighten up
Heavy drapes and luxurious textiles might be great for winter, but when it comes to the summer, they can feel a little dark and dreary. Cover a sofa with a light throw, pack away heavy rugs and switch up your bedding to incorporate more cottons.
