Do's and Don'ts of Summer Home Decor

|
Summer is here. It's time to lighten, brighten, and freshen up your home. Whether you want to go all out and make big changes or keep things simple and budget-friendly, there are plenty of things that can be done to revitalize your décor for the season. Just follow few simple do's and don'ts:

Do:
  • Pack up and put away all things that says “winter”. And this includes cozy throws, rugs and carpets, and snuggly pillows.
  • Go for light colors such as white, aqua, lavender or lime green. This applies for wall paints as well as furnishings and upholstery.
  • Opt for lighter sheets and bedspreads.
  • Replace your heavy drapes with a lighter, breezier material.
  • Go green, go natural. Think sisal rugs, bamboo blinds, rattan furniture, canvas slipcovers, and wicker baskets.
  • Accessorize with nautical-themed pieces such as seashells.
  • Flowers, flowers, and more flowers! Add flower decorations in every thinkable form to bring in a whiff of natural freshness.
Do not:
  • Underestimate the importance of cleaning windows. This helps to brighten up any room instantly.
  • Continue with those dark lampshades on the mantelpiece. Replace them with something lighter.
  • Flaunt those grim looking brass candlesticks anymore. There are lots of other options that work great as summer accents.
  • Increase the clutter by adding more new things to your home. Editing a few excess objects would help your basic furniture breathe properly.
