When summer finally arrives, we spare no time moving our lives outdoors — firing up the barbecue, dining al fresco, landscaping the yard, picking fresh herbs and relaxing in the wonderful sun and warm air.
However, with so much focus on the great outdoors, it’s easy to dismiss simple seasonal ideas that can freshen up the indoors.
As you stretch out your arms and embrace the warmer weather, the colors of summer make themselves obvious. Colorful blooms of bright greens, yellows and purples cheer the soul.
Taking your cue from nature doesn’t necessarily mean using only neutral or subdued tones. Give your room a colorful facelift with a fresh coat of paint. Get inspired by the proud peacock and add bright, rich jewel tones. Dress up a basic wall with a piece of art in shimmering blues and greens and highlight a special piece of furniture or high ceilings with a tall vase filled with teal, royal blue and celadon fronds.
Lighten up any room by exchanging heavy fabrics for breezier ones. In the living room, take down drapes or replace them with an open weave such as chiffon or organza. Replace throw pillows and sofa slipcovers in the den with bright solid or floral ones. Use white crisp percale or linen sheets in the bedroom and opt for natural woven placemats instead of a tablecloth in the dining room.
