A WELCOMING ENTRY SETS THE SEASONAL TONE
If you make only one change for the season, freshen up your front entry.
- A summery door mat.
- A new wreath.
- Colorful annuals in pots around the front door.
BRING NATURE INDOORS
Lighten and brighten with colorful natural elements like flowers, plants, branches and seasonal fruits and veg.
Pick flowers and branches from your garden, or buy them at the grocery store and the area farmers markets.
PILLOWS, TRAYS & THROWS
The decorating trifecta of pillows, trays and throws are the first place to look to add a touch of seasonal flair. A square woven tray for the great room coffee table. The loose weave and texture is perfect for summer. Put away the heavy winter throws in favor of light weight light colored throws. Fun summer colored pillows can pull it all together!
SUMMER BEDDING REFRESH
Summertime bring kids home from college, lots of friends and overnight guests so it’s the perfect time to freshen up bedding, especially in the guest room.To create a real summer vacation style vibe, you can’t beat the charm of the Nantucket stripe or Hyannis gingham pattern.
LIGHTEN & BRIGHTEN WITH MIRRORS
Add mirrors to lighten and brighten a room … and create the illusion of a larger space. Placed across from windows, they reflect light as well as whatever pretty plants are growing outside.
THOSE SUMMER NIGHTS … MAGICAL OUTDOOR LIGHTING
Last but not least, the easiest way to lighted up for summer is with … light! My favorite summer room is our back garden patio. Especially at night. Overhead string lights, a fire pit, lanterns, hurricanes and votives create layers of flattering, flickering light. It’s a magical place to hang out and entertain.
