UPDATE YOUR COLOR PALETTE
Summer is the perfect time to bring bright and fresh colors into your home. Swap out your darker and heavier decor items with lighter and brighter ones. Think about adding pops of color to your space with new throw pillows, area rugs, or even artwork.

LET IN THE LIGHT
Summer is all about natural light, so make sure to open up your curtains and blinds to let the sunshine in. If you have heavy drapes, consider swapping them out for lighter, sheer ones. You can also add mirrors to your space to reflect the light and make your home feel brighter and more spacious.

INCORPORATE NATURAL ELEMENTS
Bringing natural elements into your home is a great way to add a touch of summer. Consider adding fresh flowers or plants to your space to liven it up. You can also incorporate natural textures like jute or wicker into your decor with baskets, rugs, or furniture.
SWITCH UP YOUR BEDDING
Summer is the time to switch out your heavy bedding for something lighter and more breathable. Consider swapping out your duvet cover for a lightweight quilt or coverlet. Choose fabrics like cotton or linen that will keep you cool and comfortable during the warmer months.

CREATE AN OUTDOOR OASIS
Summer is all about enjoying the outdoors, so why not bring some of that indoors? Create an outdoor oasis in your home by adding a cozy seating area near a window or patio door. Add some plants, lanterns, or string lights to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.
