5 ways to decorate your home for summer

Sometimes it feels like our homes are hibernating as much as bears in cold weather. In winter we feel most comfortable surrounded by fluffy blankets and a warm atmosphere. As the seasons change, however, what seemed comfortable in cold weather may appear suddenly dark and oppressive. While you probably don’t need a total make-over of the house, preparing for summer can help make the space feel brighter and brighter. Start your favorite playlist and start the change, because summer is already here!1. Change the curtains / curtains   Your curtains or curtains probably have a double service during the winter months. They give you privacy and help you maintain an orderly and comfortable environment. But warmer weather requires lighter window treatments, so take the heavy curtains and replace them with something that comes in handy. Choosing the right curtains gives you privacy and allows light and air to flow. Or try a bamboo shade to add a natural element while still being able to block the afternoon sunlight.

2. Think about choosing natural accessories   Accessories can change the whole style of your home. What can “summer” say more than natural materials? Bringing natural elements helps lift the tone of your space, making it feel shiny and airy. Try to bring some braided baskets to use for storing certain items. Bring natural wood elements such as candlesticks or decorative gaps to brighten your living room. You can also opt for pillows or blankets with light color prints.

Take a mini summer cleaning   Simply cleaning the horizontal surfaces of the house can make you feel more airy and ready for summer in just a few minutes. Spin around the house and wipe away dust and windows. After a long winter, you may have many things that make your home crowded. Here are some other quick, five-minute tasks to clean your house: Open the windows. Make sure they are clean and open without any problems while letting the clean air in. Store the extra pillows and blankets in the closet that you won’t need until the bad weather comes. Change the bed linen and replace the thick blankets with some summer ones.
