Prepare your home for summer: design ideas to refresh your home

Summer is the perfect time to refresh your home. First start by opening all the windows and doors to let in some fresh air. Then tackle all the cleaning projects you have been putting off until this hot season. Cleaning floors, walls and ceilings, vacuuming and dusting furniture and fixtures: don’t leave any of these tasks behind. We also recommend adding fresh flowers or plants to brighten up the space.

Summer 2022: trends for a modern garden

Summer is a great time to refresh the look of your home. Here are some decorating and design ideas to get you started:

1. Paint the walls a bright, light colour. This will help make your home feel more airy and open.

If your house feels cramped and closed in, try painting the walls a light colour. This will help make your home more airy and open. Lighter colours reflect more light than dark colours, so they can make a small space feel bigger. They also create a more cheerful atmosphere, which can be helpful if you are feeling down.

2. Replace your heavy curtains with light, transparent ones. This will allow in more natural light and help cool down your home.

Curtains can be a great way to block light and keep your home cool, but if you have heavy curtains, it might be better to replace them with light, transparent curtains.

This will allow more natural light into your home, which will help you cool down. In addition, transparent curtains allow you to see outside, which can be nice when you want to enjoy the nice weather or when you are waiting for someone to visit (or the courier who is about to bring an important parcel!).

3. Add some new furniture or accessories. Some new pieces can help brighten up your home and give it a new look.

Adding some new furniture or accessories can help brighten up your home and give it a new look.

A new sofa or coffee table can add some life to a room, and new curtains or carpets can really change the feel of a space. If your home is a bit ‘dull’, try adding new furniture pieces to give it a fresh feel.

There are a few things you can do to refresh your home with furniture.

You could exchange older furniture for new pieces. Another option is to refinish or paint furniture to give it a new look. Finally, you can also rearrange furniture to create a new layout in a room.

But what furniture makes a room look fresher?

There are many pieces of furniture that you can use to make your room feel cooler.  A good choice is adding a new carpet, buying new curtains or investing in a new piece of designer furniture.

Carpets can help brighten up a room and add a touch of colour. If you are looking for a way to add some privacy to your room, new curtains are a great option. Curtains can also help brighten up a room and add some personality. If you are looking to add a new piece of furniture to your room, consider a chair or bench. A new chair or bench can help brighten up a room and add some extra seating.

4. Clean the windows and doors. This will help let in more natural light and improve the air quality in your home.

One of the best ways to improve your home’s air quality and bring in more natural light is to clean the windows and doors. This can be done with a simple solution of vinegar and water. Simply mix one part vinegar to four parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the windows and doors and wipe them clean with a cloth. Be sure to get into all corners and around seals. This will help remove accumulated dirt or debris and allow light and air to flow through the house more easily.

5. Plant flowers or herbs. Flowers and herbs can add a touch of colour and freshness to your home.

If you are looking for a way to add a touch of colour and freshness to your home, consider planting flowers or herbs. Flowers and herbs can brighten up any room and make it more inviting. They can also help improve indoor air quality, which is especially important if you have allergies or asthma.

There are a variety of flowers and herbs that can be planted indoors, so you can choose the ones that best suit your needs and preferences. If you are looking for something that will add a splash of colour, consider planting brightly coloured flowers such as gerberas or tulips. If you are looking for something that will release a refreshing scent, try planting lavender, rosemary or thyme.

Regardless of the types of flowers or herbs you choose to plant, be sure to keep them well watered and fertilised. This will help them stay healthy and look their best.

Finally, don’t forget to choose designer and colourful pots to give your home a real touch of elegance and freshness.
