3 Ways to give your home a taste of summer

Well, summer is nearly here! The days are getting longer, the sun is getting brighter, and you might find yourself waking up feeling happier and more alive than at any other time of the year. After all, the summer brings with it good moods, good vibes, and lots of fun.

To awaken your home from its winter-induced slumber, why not try something new? Take a look at our creative ways of adding that little bit of summer magic to your home!

1. Glowing colours

Now, we aren't saying you need to redecorate your main living room every time the seasons change – that would be madness (wouldn’t it?)! But having a few new accessories that you can deploy as the summer evenings return can be a great way of lifting the mood and embracing the new season.

Perhaps a new lamp on the side table would add a soft and warming orange glow. Or how about a colourful new rug or throw as the centrepiece of the living room? Simple touches like this will add some vibrancy to your home, and will remind you of all the fun to be had outside in the sun. Go for summer pinks, oranges, and greens to bring the feeling of the outdoors in!

2. Fresh flowers

It’s a simple idea, but the best ones usually are! Pick a handful of fresh flowers from the garden when you get up first thing in the morning. Not only does it get you outside listening to the birds before the hustle and bustle begins, but it will open up the creative hidden away inside you during the dark months of winter. Get picking, and soon you’ll be creating all manner of natural and uplifting centrepieces and side table decorations!

3. Reinvent your space

If you’re lucky enough to have a conservatory, then now is the time to use it! Make it the focal point of the home during the summer months. You could move the TV and some comfortable seating in, and turn it from a nice reading room you use once a week into the new sitting room that all the family will enjoy. Summer is all about enjoying the natural light and its uplifting glow, so make the most of it!
