Summer has arrived in all its wondrous glory! The energy that bright sunshine and warm weather bring is extraordinary. When you step inside after enjoying the outdoors, do you feel the energy deflate? It’s time to refresh your home with summer style! Where should you start? Here are 6 ways to reinvigorate the look and feel of your home this season.
#1 Use Elements of Summer
Summertime transforms the outdoors with awe-inspiring beauty. And, it can do the same for your home! Start your summer style refresh by infusing elements of the season into your design. Try adding cooling summer colors–like watery blues and starry purples– into your accents. Or, try incorporating actual pieces of nature–like flowers, houseplants, and trees–to bring the beauty and tranquility of the natural world right into your spaces.
#2 Surround Yourself with Memories
What’s your favorite part of summer? For many, it’s vacation–the chance to get away, explore new places (or return to a favorite), and make incredible memories. When you surround yourself with vacation memories, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation every day! Now that’s summer style! So, when you venture off this year, look around local shops to find unique pieces to add to your decor. Or, use your favorite destination as inspiration for your design.
#3 Put Inspiration into Action
Speaking of inspiration, it’s easy to spend hours saving favorite photos on Pinterest and Houzz. You’ve always planned to use them, but have you? Now’s the time! Dig into your collection of saved photos to jumpstart your summer style refresh. Look for elements that you love and start shopping. Don’t feel like leaving the couch? We don’t blame you! Sites like Houzz and Amazon have great home decor shopping features. Have you checked out Amazon’s Canopy yet? It’s a curated shopping experience all online!
#4 Get Trendy
Looking for a fashion-forward way to reinvigorate your home design with summer style? Adopt a new trend. Wondering what’s hot right now? Designers are loving unfinished and rough-cut wood as well as curved furnishings. They pull in the eye and create flowing dimension that offers a truly unique look. Want to take it up a notch? Combine the two trends in single pieces. Just look at the floor lamp and coffee table in this living space…gorgeous!
#5 Embrace Innovation
One of the best parts of summer is savoring every moment of warm, sunny weather. It’s so nice to be able to go outside without having to put on a whole heap of snow gear or even a light jacket. Days of fun and adventure are both glorious and exhausting. When you finally come inside, all you want to do is relax. And now you can…
