SUMMER COOLING - BODY HEAT LOWER

A FRESH BREEZE COVERS THE HOME ON A SUMMER DAY

Many people may believe that home repair and restoration would require a sizable expense and a significant amount of time, but they often forget that sometimes, even the tiniest adjustments may make a big difference and give your house a more updated appearance. Furthermore, redecorating your area with creativity and delicacy will make you fall in love with it all over again. To create a cool, fresh vibe in your house all summer, use the interior design advice below.

1. Put away thick blankets

They're a winter essential, but these thick, heavy cotton blankets are something you should put away as soon as summer arrives. However, if you have a habit of liking the feeling of being cuddled under a blanket, consider switching to a lighter linen blanket. In addition to light textiles, McKay says to choose light colors, as this makes the space visually cooler.

2. Bring green plants into the house

According to interior designer Heather Fujikawa, "updating accessories and bringing greenery into the home is one of my favorite ways to welcome a new season." For extra encouragement, make sure the plants you choose are in season. This kind of decorating will make a big difference in the area. You may also drastically alter the color and vibe by adding new foliage to the bedroom or entryway table. The earth's natural elements, new flowers, or verdant plants can undoubtedly make your comfortable space smell better."

3. Add earthy textures and patterns

When making seasonal improvements to the house, color and texture are crucial components. "For summer, we love natural textures, such as fun and colorful patterns, because they help create a light and airy feel without looking too bulky," Fujikawa explains. tactful while distinctly capturing summer.

Throw pillows, blankets, and artwork are further simple and affordable ways to add seasonal patterns and colors to your decor. Get rid of wintery accents and bulky textiles. Meanwhile, swap them out for accents that are more in line with the season."

4. Replace curtains

Take the heavy, thick drapes down and have them professionally cleaned at a dry cleaner. Then, when you open the windows, enjoy the movement and fresh air by hanging light curtains. Opt for materials that are dense but lightweight to help block more sunlight during the warmest portions of the day and prevent heat from entering your home.

5. Replace new carpet

In the middle of winter, a thick rug is comfortable under bare feet, but it detracts from the feeling of coolness and freshness you are aiming to generate in the summertime. Thus, store that bulky rug and think about cleaning it beforehand. Next, switch to light-colored, flat-woven rush or soft cotton rugs.

6. Combine scents

Adjustments to the visual sense can have a significant effect but don't discount the other senses. A much softer atmosphere can be produced with candles and diffusers that smell of citrus, flowers, or the beach rather than wood or sandalwood. "By combining the flavors, smells, and colors that symbolize summer, you are sure to feel refreshed and inspired," Fujikawa says.

7. Make updates and new additions to your bookcases

This is a fantastic excuse to visit the bookshop if you need one. "I enjoy purchasing new books and periodicals, or I've been meaning to read them. This gives me even more motivation to find some quiet time to sit and spend time reflecting on my relationship with myself," McKay adds. Additionally, think about restocking your bedside table items and books on coffee tables.

8. Display items that evoke memories of the summer

Since summer is a time for adventure and travel, it makes sense to showcase those memorable moments all throughout your house. "Whether it's photos from a vacation, placing seashells in a pretty little bowl, or incorporating coastal materials, such as rattan, sand, etc., it's all there," Fujikawa says. Including these priceless recollections and mementos will lift your spirits."
