The summer is here, and it is time to take down those heavy drapes, exchange all those gloomy winter colors with a more vibrant flare. Decorating your home doesn’t have to be a mission. Get the whole family involved, make it a fun activity. You don’t have to make all the changes in a single day, in fact you could do a little everyday or over the weekend, if you have a busy week. Even if you are on a small budget, you can still make a huge transformation to your home with a few decorations. Let me share with you a few home design ideas to help you bring life to your home this summer.
Wall Art
The character of a room can be greatly transformed depending on the art work that you hang on your walls. Based on the overall theme that you are trying to achieve for your home, you will decorate the walls accordingly. A great example would be if you were aiming to make your room appear to be very British, then perhaps you would hang a picture of the famous Big Ben clock tower in London, or a picture of their popular red double decker bus. Maybe you could get them both in the same picture!
Decorative Rugs
A bare floor with no carpeting or rugs laid out, is basically just that, bare! The easiest way to change the look and feel of a room is to cover the floor in beautiful fabric. In the summer, it would be best to select lighter colors and softer patterns. An ocean blue rug would give off a cooler effect than a flaming red rug. There are a wide range of rugs and carpets with patterns to suit any room. Have a shop around and you’ll be sure to find something that you like.
Lighting
Summer is usually the brightest season of the year, so you may be wondering, how will lighting improve your home for the summer? There are probably dark areas of your home that don’t get a full effect of the sunshine because of the lack of sufficient windows. The best solution for this is to install additional ceiling lights, or an easier method is to position standing or table lamps. Turn them on when you have guests and you will notice the huge difference it makes to the room.
Fragrances
This is not exactly a visual design for your home, but fruity, summery smells will definitely heighten your senses when you enter a room, giving the impression of freshness. There are several methods for leaving your home smelling fragrant fresh all summer long. The most common is to position air fresheners in every room, but the best solution that I find is to bake a cake! This will not only make your home smell amazing but it will keep your family’s tummy’s happy too!
Now that you are equipped with a few ideas on making your home more welcoming, go ahead and transform it into a happy summer house!
