Tip 1: Add a Plant - Bring the Outdoors Inside
A great way to spruce up your living space this summer is by adding some plants. Some miniature greenery will not only ramp up your home’s looks but also bring amazing health benefits by improving air quality, increasing productivity, and reducing stress levels! Plants, flowers, small succulents, large potted trees, and other forms of greenery will impart a rustic natural beauty to your indoors with very little effort.
However, keep in mind the available space and maintenance required by the plants before making your choice. You may consider beautiful super-realistic faux foliage available in the market today if your busy schedule doesn't allow regular maintenance or upkeep.
Tip 2: Fresh Colours or Neutral Colour Scheme?
One of the easiest ways to instantly energise any room is by incorporating Bold fresh colours that will add life and energy to your interior and make an old room look decades younger.
However, Neutral shades of linen and whites are forever young lovely-looking colours that always look good. You may start by selecting one or two accent pieces like pillows , rugs or artwork to see if a certain colour suits your room’s ambience. After feeling somewhat confident, change up the wall colour somewhere in your home before you plunge in and repaint the whole house. Muted pastels are also a huge trend right now.
Tip 3: Use Stripes to Create a Visual Treat
Adding striped pillows, rugs, curtains, or wall coverings can instantly liven up your room without overwhelming the eyes with too many patterns and designs. WHy not be bold and mix two different types of stripes? Combine bold vertical lines with delicate horizontal ones to add visual depth and make the space look more interesting.
Tip 4: Throw in Some Textured Materials and Accessories
Make use of amazing Christmas-New year sales in December to introduce lovely textiles and other accessories to your room. Imagine brand new summery cushions or bright patterned throw pillows and blankets in your living rooms or fresh coloured towels in your bathroom. How about accessories such as candles, nice earthen vessels, or platters to put in your shell collection or faux gold coins, bring in artefacts that reflect your style!
Tip 5: Clean your Windows
Cleaning windows might sound like a no-brainer but unfortunately, this process is largely ignored by many people. Well, you aren’t gonna be one of those people this summer! So, go ahead and take off any window treatments or hardware preventing you from a good deep window cleaning. Then scrub the screens. Go with a gentle wipe with a wet cloth or a good hard scrub with a hose and a broom depending on how much dust it has accumulated. Clean the curtains or blinds if necessary.
Tip 6: Freshen up your alfresco area and yard
Summer is the time for fun outdoor activities and entertainment. This means your alfresco and yard have to be clean and well-decorated to cheer you up during the holidays. Pressure wash the floor, add a quick coat of paint, or bring in some accessories like bright cushions and some fairy lights to completely transform your alfresco or yard into a vibrant palace for gatherings. Additionally, putting up fairy lights inside glass vases will give an ambient touch to the outdoor dining area and add a timer to turn it on and off depending on lighting needs. Ideas to brighten up your outdoors are plenty.
