Outdoor Shading
Summer offers one of the best periods to enjoy the outdoors. But, depending on where you live, there may be some restrictions on where you can go. That in no way means that you cannot spruce up your home’s exterior space and enjoy some quality outdoor time. You can create a shaded area in your backyard and have some friends over for a BBQ. If your home does not come with a covered outdoor space, no worries! You can take advantage of a pergola canopy with retractable roof Caribbean blinds to add style and shade to your uncovered exterior area.
Wallpapers: As Many As You Want
Are you tired of picking up the paintbrush anytime your walls look dull? Well, there is no need to keep painting, so drop that brush and get yourself some wallpapers - as many as you need. Because, believe it or not, wallpapers are back in style! And, don’t worry, no one is talking about going back to those old, grandma-style wallpapers of the 80s. Modern wallpapers are, well...modern. They come in an endless variety of design themes for every season, and you’ll find them in modern color combinations, patterns, textures, you name it. Plus, they are relatively easy to install.
The Greens
Adding the right touch of ‘green’ to your home’s decor may not be a new thing, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t trending for this year’s summer. So, go ahead and make spaces in your home more breathable and lush with the right interior plants, especially if you expect to spend most of your summer days in your home. You can also complement your interior plants with natural wood furniture and other natural elements to bring a feel of the summer indoors. This season is also the perfect time to work on your backyard garden. And while you’re at it, take the time to add some summer garden furniture options to your backyard space.
Use Breezy Fabrics
Summertime is the season in which you want to keep your windows open and invest in some fresh, natural breeze. And you don’t have anything getting in the way. So instead of the thick fabrics, you may have opted for during winter, it is now time to go for lighter options. You will mostly associate light and airy fabrics with seasons that allow you to leave your windows open. Aside from opting for light curtains, choose bedspread materials made of silk, flax linen, etc., as they will add a more breezy feel to your home.
