4 Interior Design Tips to Get Your Home Summer Ready

If you’re wanting to add some more luxury elements to your home, then keep keeping in mind that you’ll need to focus on adding seasonal elements. Just as people would decorate their homes for Christmas or even Autumn, it’s basically a similar concept for the summer months too. Plus, if you think about it, these refreshers can make you feel like you’re in an entirely different house which is pretty nice too. So, with that in mind, here is how you can prep your inner interior designer and get your home ready for the summer!

Give a Good Cleaning

While there is spring cleaning, why not do a quick presummer clean up too? When it comes to the summer, you’re going to want to incorporate space and airiness. But when it comes to this, you’re going to need a good dusting to ensure there aren’t any dust bunnies hidden everywhere. But it can still go further than this too. Replace thick winter fabrics like woollens and silk with cotton, linen, and bamboo sheets. This lightens up the space and keeps it breathable. The point is to promote openness, so cleaning is going to help this a lot. 

Change Up the Lighting

For starters, when you don’t have shutter blinds closed up, you’re going to want to focus as much as possible on having brightness in your home. The summer is all about the sun being out, so what better way than to incorporate that summer sun into your own home? Adding more mirrors to your rooms is another simple and effective way to reflect more light and give a sense of openness.  It’s all perfect for highlighting your home and making it appear bigger. 

Switch to Light Decor

You don’t have to redecorate to get your home ready for the summer; simply switching out darker decor items for brighter ones is a cost-effective way to add more summer vibes. Also, don’t forget to bring in some fresh flowers for a natural touch that radiates summer vibes. You can also try using floral wallpaper or a patterned cushion cover for your sofas. Do all of these need to be included? No! Something smaller, like light throw pillows, flowers, or even removing your rugs, can still make a huge impact. 

Keep it Simple

Tieing into the above, it’s all about keeping it simplistic. The summer is all about simplicity if you think about it. If you want your summer house to feel like a relaxing beach cottage, consider using neutral colours like white, sandy yellow, classic Kelly green, and sunset orange. Colours like these are easy to clean, look fresh, and will enliven your summer home decor. Rather than redoing the entire space, rearranging existing furniture can make your summer home feel brand new. For example, if your sofa faces the windows, shift it so that it opens out to the garden. Another trick is to use light, see-through curtains. This helps let in the sun and creates a breezy, airy vibe to your home interiors.
