A summertime color home makeover can make your house feel lighter and brighter. Change your outlook by changing a few simple things to bring the sunshine inside and the playful feeling of summer into every room in your home.
1. Lighten the Livingroom: Swap afghans and plush blankets for lighter linens and textiles. Switch throw pillows for delightful flower patterned ones. Anywhere you can add white, do so: vases, flowers, decorative accessories.
2. Beachify the Bedroom: Add in a splash of aqua blue and white to make the beach come to life. Blue and white throws, curtains or throw pillows. A sandy colored rug, and decorative shells will give beach vibes all summer. And keep your favorite sunhats on display.
3. Turn on the Waves in the Bathroom: Add a small countertop water feature, airy plants and be sure to switch out towels for a blue and white color scheme. Hang summer vacation pics on the wall and keep the family flip flops readily accessible.
4. Dining Al Fresco: Decide that family evening meals will be outside: on the patio, on the porch or in the yard. Create an outdoor dining room and be sure to add shade, colorful outdoor dishes and linens, as well as twinkle lights and music.
5. Freshen Your Summer Kitchen: Keep colorful, fresh fruits and veggies on the counter, in pretty decorative bowls. Cut flowers, a countertop herb garden and plants all around will help you bring the summer vibes inside.
