Today we will turn your attention towards several tricks that will give to your home a more summery feeling.
Instead of having a wool carpet in your living room, you can replace it with a lightweight rug. The new floor covering will give a fresher look to the room and more importantly won’t remind you of the cold days. If you don’t have a lightweight rug, know that you can simply remove the wool carpet and leave your floor naked. After all, naked floors are quite beautiful and interesting.
Replace your current artwork, with paintings that depict sunny landscapes and seascapes. If you live in a coastal city, you can head to the beach and gather seashells and arrange in several vases throughout your home. Alternatively, if you don’t have the necessary budget to replace your decorative features, you can simply move your artwork around. You will be amazed how little is needed to drastically change the overall ambiance of your household.
Just like wool carpets, wool cushions are a reminder of the cold days and months. So, replace them with their lighter counterparts. For example you can opt to place cotton or linen cushions on your bed and couch. Also, don’t opt for dark tones, instead go with bright and vibrant colours and scream warmth.
Remove the outer draperies from your window treatments and leave the lightweight curtains. By doing so, you will allow more sunlight to enter into your home, thus create a fresher atmosphere. Also open the windows and allow the fresh summery breeze to enter into your household.
Sleeping in heavy bedding shouldn’t be an option during the warmer months of the year. So, update your beddings by buying new linens. Make sure that you purchase at least two sets, so that you can rotate them periodically. You can also use a light toned bed cover to wrap your bed.
Head to your basement or garden shed and get your garden and patio furniture. Wash the furnishings and arrange them throughout your patio and backyard. There is no better way to welcome the summer than to start using your outdoor areas.
You can enhance your garden furthermore by installing lantern or lamps. This way you will be able to properly illuminate your backyard during the night and use it to host various gatherings. The only downside of this trick is that you will most probably generate a serious amount of waste, which can only be cleared with the aid of professional rubbish removal services. However, don’t be alarmed about this because nowadays most rubbish removal companies work with cost effective service fees.
Use summer flowers to decorate both the indoor and outdoor areas of your household. Summer flowers are colourful, have a hypnotizing aroma and are extremely beautiful. You can also plant such flower throughout your backyard and have the peace of mind that you will be able to enjoy them, each summer.
As you can see, you can easily give a more summery mood to your home, by simply conducting several changes.
