House decor can be adapted according to each season of the year. Summer is the perfect season to bring out the freshest, brightest and most colourful decor. Let's take a look at some must-have ideas for decorating your home this summer. We can help you to make your rooms feel full of light and colour!
White is the best colour to give more light and a touch of freshness. Making your home white gives a more spacious feel to the whole house. It may be the best colour match for your soft furnishings such as cushions, bed linen, curtains or carpets. What white tones are you going to add to your home?
The Mediterranean Sea, blue and white colours, sail boats… all are synonymous with sprucing up your home for the summer season. Furnish your home and decorate it for this summer with marine touches. You can decorate your home in countless ways with these colours whether it’s paintings, cushions, tableware or towels. It will remind you of the sea and the relaxing Mediterranean life.
The larger spaces in your home give you the chance to decorate them as you like. So, you can put an armchair in the living room for reading during the long summer evenings. Don’t just stick to the inside of the house. For outside areas such as your garden or terrace, you can add a hammock for lounging or garden furniture for when you have visitors. Make the most of the space!
Plants and fresh flowers are a must in your home. For a more refreshing touch to rooms in your home such as the bedroom or bathroom, add a vase or a pretty planter with tulips, lavender, daisies or even cactus. In addition, you can create your own oasis in your outdoor garden to relax in peace and harmony with a variety of plants.
Light is important at any time of the year. In summer, sunlight is at its best and enters every corner of the house. What better option than to make the most of this natural light for rooms such as the bedroom or the living room? Your health will improve and you will feel better than ever.
The gardens and terraces are the perfect places to enjoy the summer every evening. Put up decorative lights and garlands to light up your summer evenings. Figure out where you are going to include outdoor lighting: barbecue area, chill out area or dining space. Light up your summer evenings with your family on your terrace or in your garden.
Bold and explosive colours are a must in summer. Liven up your living room with colours like blue, orange, green, lilac or yellow. Such cheerful colours are always associated with good weather, sunshine, blue skies and, therefore, summer. The trick is to use them in smaller details such as paintings, tablecloths or cutlery. Match these bright colours with light tones such as white or beige.
In summer, it is better to choose lighter materials for all rooms in your home: light curtains, fabrics with natural fibres, cotton or linen rugs. Choose textiles that suggest coolness and reduce the effects of heat. Have you thought about how you’re going to spruce up your living room this summer season? Try a linen rug in the living room with a fine natural fibre blanket.
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the good things in life. Tailor your home to be ‘slow’ in style. Decoration designed for you to relax: cushions, rugs, towels, crockery, paintings, everything! Hit the pause button this summer and live life slowly.
Your corner at home should always be a place where you can enjoy your favourite pastime: reading, drawing, listening to music, or simply having an iced coffee. It can be a corner in your living room, in your bedroom or even in your garden or on your terrace. Set up your most comfortable armchair or hammock and relax in your favourite spot at home this summer.
