Next week is the unofficial beginning of summer, and I can’t wait! Those longer days and the beautiful warm weather are so welcome after a long winter. Your home needs a lighter and fresher look, too. There are some very easy ways to give your rooms a summer makeover - and it doesn’t cost a fortune. Try these ideas to craft decor that welcomes those summer months!

1. Summer Sheers

One of the best things you can do is take down any heavy draperies to let that sun shine in! I like to use sheers on summer windows to create a bit of privacy, while still allowing the natural light into the rooms. The light is so gorgeous in the summer months, so bring it into your home.

2. Floor It

Roll out the darker decor by removing any thick or heavy rugs and replacing them with lighter and brighter designs. Stripes and bold patterns are great to give a room a lift in the summer season, so have some fun with your rugs.

3. Put It to Bed

Of course lighter bedding is so important when the weather is warmer. But there’s also something so fresh about white bedclothes that have been pressed and fluffed. Create a welcoming summer oasis with crisp white or pastel bedding.

4. Summer Accessories

Accessories are a great way to change things up without a huge expense or fuss. Select decorative pillows with a summery palette or pattern. Try white bowls and candles. And of course use as many fresh flowers as you can. All of these are amazing signals that the seasons have shifted.
