Some people like to think of springtime being the ultimate season for
re-decorating, but some people like to find new décor themes for their homes
each time the seasons change. Rugs and runners,
colorful glasses, and a few more accessories could be all you need to spice up
your home this summer. If you're ready
to try something new when the days get longer, try following a few of these
decorating tips.
When you have company over you usually entertain them in your living room
or family room, but you could be taking advantage of the beautiful weather by
making your patio or back yard your main gather place this summer. Purchase some inexpensive patio furniture or
use couches and chairs that are made with weather resistant fabric
outside. You can use an old dresser or
side table for a cabinet to hold drinks and finger foods, and find an outdoor
rug to tie the whole thing together.
Create a Reading/Privacy Area
This tip would work out best for parents who have their kids home for the
summer. Whether you want a place for
your children to read quietly, or you want a place that you can call your own,
you make it this summer without having to build a new addition to your
home. Find a room with open space and
choose a corner to call your own (corners near windows with abundant light work
best). Find a few comfortable pillows to
sit on and add a small end table, and you have your special space for peace and
quiet.
Hang Some Lanterns
It seems like electricity gets more and more expensive each summer, but
there is a way you could lower your electric bill and add some flair to your
home. Instead of using lamps and light
bulbs for light this summer, look for stylish candle lanterns to hand in your rooms. You'll save a lot of money on electricity and
give your room some ambiance.
