With winter fading and apart from the one-off shower, sunny days are here to stay. Try our quick pocket- friendly summer home decor ideas to make your home summer-ready.
Things we covered for you

Move over solids, give into the pattern madness
Summers are for prints, for patterns and nearly everything that brightens up your indoors. So, do away with the dark solid colours whether it is linen or curtains or the tablecloth. Throw in a dash of colour and print and watch you home welcome you the moment you step in from the hot outdoors. Turn to ocean and summertime blooms for inspiration. Although it’s clichéd, florals do help uplift your mood.
Bring in a touch of the outdoors
Flowers speak summer more than anything else can. Surround yourself in seasonal blooms everywhere you can and summer this year, we promise, will be a breeze. Flowering plants and aromatic plants will keep your home smelling great and looking like a fresh garden. Those apart, use flowers in your living spaces. Ditch those conventional vases and get quirky – a bunch in a pickle jar, a cluster in a mug – go ahead and let kitsch do the talking. Sprinkled rose petals in a bowl of water can also be a relief on days your eyes are sore from the sun.
Keep mosquitoes away, naturally!
As the nip in the air fades, and until the new season settles, we catch ourselves battling mosquitoes often ruining an evening balcony date or even a couch potato session indoors. Invest in good essential oils- Citronella and Lemongrass, use them in a diffuser or simply put a few drops while you mop the floor. They will go a long way in repelling insects and also keep your home delicately fragranced. Other alternatives are incense sticks, preferably citronella or lemongrass scented ones. Who needs chemicals when we have amazing natural options at hand.

Opt for alternate seating
It is time to put away as much large, chunky furniture as you can. After all, nobody dreams of a quiet summer afternoon on upholstered furniture that makes you sweat. Invest in colourful floor cushions, throws, and rugs in your living room. Put down a rug or two in your bedroom under a sunny window, throw in some cushions and you have a perfect corner to relax in.
Select a home with summer in mind
For those looking out for a new house, don’t forget the incoming season. When selecting look out for enough natural light coming into every room in the house. Artificial lighting isn’t going to help temperatures indoor much. Check for cross ventilation and a balcony or two may help you tide over the summer months unscathed.
