Summer is never far away, and it’s time to start planning for fresh home decor to suit the season.
Every home needs a refresh every now and then, and the sooner you start planning, the better!
Here are some easy tips to help you make your home summer ready.
Bring the outside indoors with greenery
Plants literally bring life into your home, and freshness to the air.
Aloe Vera plants are easy to care for, look great, and help purify the air in your home. Plus, they’re a fun way to get your kids involved in gardening and taking care of something.
Other succulent plants and cacti can help add to the warm weather vibe and they are low maintenance all year round.
Upscale your furniture for a fresh look
Add some fun pops of colour like bright pillows or a colourful throw blanket.
If you’re feeling crafty, make DIY decor like a summer wreath or a beachy centrepiece for your dining table.
A new table top is a quick and simple way to give your living space a new look, perfect for entertaining friends on long nights.
By making a few quick and low-cost additions and alterations, your home can look completely different without having to break the bank.
Switch up your lighting
The light really sets the mood in your home. It helps create the atmosphere, and summer is the perfect time to experiment with different options.
Add some candles or switch to LED lights to create a warm and relaxing vibe.
You could also swap out your curtains for something lighter, choosing more airy options to let in as much natural light as possible.
Spruce up your outdoor space
If you have a patio or yard, you need to start planning now if it is going to be an outdoor oasis in the summertime. Add some outdoor furniture like a cosy loveseat, comfy chairs, and outdoor tables.
You could also add some string lights or lanterns for a fun, chilled vibe. Remember to add some plants and maybe even a small herb garden to really make it feel like an oasis.

You could even try making your own natural room spray with essential oils. Give it a try and see how a new scent can transform your home for the summer.
By adding just a few simple touches, your home can have a fresh new look and feel that’s perfect for entertaining friends and family.
