As temperatures rise across the country, many of us are looking to spend more time outdoors, but if you don't have an outdoor space, consider updating your home decor for summer.
A warm summer refresh is always a good idea and easy to implement. To add brightness and warmth to your home, you can change up your color scheme with an emphasis on light fabrics and upscale, colorful décor. This technique will turn your home or a specific area into a summer haven or oasis. Or you can incorporate outdoor spaces into your indoor-outdoor space by combining patio seating, lighting fixtures, and colorful rugs.
But if you do decide to refresh your space, aim to be creative and intentional and add an inspiring color palette like indigo, creamy orange, and exciting magenta. Check out these easy home decor ideas to transform your space for summer.
Keep the decor simple: I love midcentury modern interior design because of its sleek and contemporary design. Add a classic summer vibe to your decor by choosing cream and white colors and decorative items like cushions and geometric sculptures to add visual interest to your space.
Go for jewel tones: Colors like magenta, sapphire blue, and dewy yellow are great for a summer theme. They add personality to any space and pair well with muted colors like white, cream, and beige. Include cushions and vases in jewel tones to easily blend into the color scheme.
Adjust the window decorations. Letting in lots of light is one easy way to make your home feel more summery. Try pulling down or changing up your curtains. Instead of heavy window treatments, opt for loose, light options.
Add some beach flair: Bring the ocean into your home. Use ocean-themed décor to give your home a chic beach house feel. Navy, blue, white and cream colors with seashells work well.
Leverage Wicker: Wicker decor adds flair and a rustic feel to your home, and you can also use wicker tray servers in your breakfast nook.
Add a floral design: Flowers add joy to any space, especially in the summer, so be sure to decorate your home with beautiful floral arrangements this summer.
