Summer is officially underway! One great way of bringing the sunshine inside is to decorate your home using this bountiful season as inspiration. Read on for some top tips on how to decorate for summer in your home.-
Use flowers
Summer is the season of nature’s abundance, with flowers, plants, and trees bursting into life and surrounding us with colour and fragrance. Bring some of this colour into the home by carefully picking a bunch of wildflowers or blossoms and placing them in a vase on the dining room table, always make sure you leave enough for the bees and wildlife, though!
-
Bring in summer brights
Pops of summery colours like sky blue, sunflower yellow, hot pink, or grass green can really inject some life into your space. Use throws or cushions on the sofa, swatches of fabric for the windows, or carefully placed ornaments that reflect the rainbow of colour in nature.
-
Dress the bed for summer
Heavy, dark fabrics and colours on the bed in the summer can make a room feel even hotter, so switch them out for airy linens, cool sheets, and lightweight throws. Rugs and cushions can be swapped for natural materials like seagrass or cotton to create a breezy feeling in the room.
-
Make a summer wreath
Wreaths aren’t just for Christmas! Hanging a summery wreath on the front door using fresh or dried flowers, locally sourced foliage, or fabric and ribbons you have lying around the home is a great way to set the summery theme before guests even enter the house.
-
Add some greenery
Plants breathe life into any space, so add some plants to kitchen work surfaces, dining tables, bookshelves, or coffee tables to make the home feel vibrant. If you have dark spaces, explore plants that need less light, or there are plenty of extremely good fake plants these days that look just like the real thing!
