Surfing the internet to look for awesome summer decor ideas that will help you create a livelier home? From introducing fresh smells of the season to new furniture arrangements, here are some effective ways to bring the feelings and colors of summertime into your home!

Perform a Timely Art Swap

One of the easiest ways to brighten up a dark wall is to hang up colorful art pieces. You will not have any difficulty finding affordable pieces as there are many that can be found at resale shops, flea markets and even online. Simply opt for a collection of smaller pieces or a large piece, which will do just fine. Art pieces can be the perfect blank-wall solution for spacious, open rooms.

Embrace Natural Living

A great way to add organic appeal to your home is to consider planting succulents in a large empty shell. One of the best things about having these tiny plants around is that they are going to last a pretty long time, and best of all, require minimal care and maintenance. So this makes them the perfect addition to any summery tablescape you have planned out in mind. What’s more, you can also utilize these natural elements to add both character and texture to any chic end-table display.

Change the Focal Point of a Room

If the color scheme of your living room consists of various shades of white, orange as well as rustic brown tones, you can consider having a new furniture arrangement, one that is away from the fireplace during the summer, especially if it is the current focal point of the room. You can easily shift the focus of the room by not letting your furniture huddle around the hearth. This way, the focus will be on your beautiful French doors or large windows. You may also want to hang gossamer sheers that can flow with the breeze, or even opt for lighter draperies that come in style such as Luminette and Ripplefold. As always, the right window treatment makes all the difference!

Place Candles that Provide a Summer Scent

Did you know that scents can do wonders for your overall well-being? Yes, they can! Smell is not just a fragrance – it is a memory. For example, a warm summer breeze blows the smell of fresh flowers, you are instantly time-traveled back to your first prom night. Hence, you can also consider switching out scents as the seasons change, for a continuous seasonal aesthetic in your home. For starters, cucumber-melon or ocean breeze are highly sought after summer scents. Evergreen and gingerbread, on the other hand, are more suited for winter months.

Opt for Brighter Fabrics

If you are planning to lift the mood of your bedroom, an effective way is to opt for bright colored fabrics. When we say ‘lift,’ you should expect the effect to take place instantly. So consider choosing bright botanical prints for a start when purchasing new bedding. The color welcomes the summer in a magical way and will also lift your mood. A good way to let the motif stand out is to keep other accessories in the room to a minimum and the wall color neutral. Trust us, it works!
