The weather has finally broken and our attitudes have shifted. Bring on the summer.
There seems to be something holding us back though: our dark, drab interiors. Believe it or not, this has a huge impact on our moods.
Inject some brightness and a little flair into your home to get it feeling like summer in no time.
Quick tip: don’t look at remodeling or redecorating as burdensome, but rather as a quick and inexpensive way to keep your home lively and your mood bright.
Paint is by far the best way to completely change the look of a room. Weren’t planning on rolling up your sleeves this time around? No big deal.
Try changing the throw pillows. Lighter, more neutral-toned furniture is easier to incorporate a summer palette into. Darker furniture can be lightened with slipcovers.
The rest is in the details. Swap out many of your accent pieces for items like sea shells, baskets, light-colored picture frames, etc. Another neat trick is to completely clean out the fireplace and place a colorful, summer flower arrangement inside.
You don’t have to go outside to experience the feel of summer.
