Favorite summer looks for the home

Posted by All About Blinds

When summer comes along, it brings feelings of joy and excitement with it. What better way to celebrate this magical season than by refreshing the look of your home? There are many ways to decorate your home, depending on your budget and the amount of free time you have available.

A great way to refresh the look of your home quickly is to purchase or make a few accessories to match the style of your blinds and shutters. A few throw pillows in bright colors will add a summery feeling to any room. Other accessories, like accent rugs in colorful patterns, will help bring the look together. A great decorating secret is to change the mood of the room just by changing the lighting. Consider buying a colored bulb in a warm tone (like red or gold), or make a quick transformation by wrapping a sheer colored scarf around your existing lampshade. A deep red will create a sultry vibe.

Bathroom Summer Décor Made Simple

Bathroom accessories can create a summery escape in your own home. Consider purchasing a new shower curtain with a fun pattern. Think palm trees, or tropical fish. And to refresh the bedroom, consider investing in a new set of sheets and a new comforter. Fun throw pillows tossed on the bed are a great quick pick-me-up for those on a budget.

The kitchen is full of many possibilities when it comes to redecorating for summertime. Since your kitchen table is usually the most eye-catching piece in your kitchen, try purchasing a tablecloth in a bright color or pattern. A centerpiece of flowers or fresh citrus fruit (or both!) will also perk up your dining space.

Generally, when decorating for summer, remember that bright colors and patterns are absolutely necessary. Summer is the season of fun; so don’t be afraid to add some fun to your home décor to celebrate!
