How to get your home summer-ready without breaking the bank
It’s no secret that this year has been tough on so many. If you’re feeling a little down that your dreams of a renovation fell short this year, try some of these quick ideas which will make a big difference, so you can relax and enjoy the summer holidays.
Lighten up with a fresh coat of paint
Choose bright, cheerful colours; a fresh coat of paint can breathe new life into any home.
Brighten your outdoor area
If your outdoor furniture is looking a little bleak, spruce it up with some colourful cushions or throw blankets. Adding string lights to your outdoor area can enhance the summer evening ambience.
Maximise natural light
Swap heavy drapes for lighter fabrics or sheer curtains. Not only will this brighten up your space, it’ll also help keep your home cooler during those hot summer days. Remember to raise the curtains to the ceiling to make spaces feel larger!
Bring nature indoors
Bring some potted plants or vibrant flowers indoors to add a touch of nature. Not only will these freshen your air but they will also uplift your spirits with their colourful presence.
Summer scents
Change out winter-scented candles for fresh, summery aromas like citrus or light florals. Consider DIY pot-pourri with dried flowers and herbs to bring a natural fragrance into your home.
Organise and declutter
Take some time to declutter your space. Create a fresh, airy feeling by storing away winter items and reorganising to make room for summer essentials.
Front door facelift
Give your front door a quick makeover with a fresh coat of paint or a bright new welcome mat. A simple update can enhance curb appeal and welcome guests with summer vibes.
Artwork
Change up some of your artwork or add some to your walls. New visuals can completely change the feel of a room.
With these quick, 'refresh' ideas, your home will be ready for summer relaxation in no time. Embrace the warmth and make the most of those sun-filled days! Merry Christmas!
