With summer just around the corner, now it is the perfect time to change your home’s decor for a breezier look and make the most of the days between solstice and equinox. You might not be able to travel to your dream summer location just yet, but you can still achieve the easy summertime living feel with a few simple style changes. Ease into new season with our summer decorating ideas that will instantly help your space feel lighter and brighter.
#1 Do a fast cleaning
We know it is not the most pleasurable thing to do, but simple clearing of the surfaces will make your home feel airy and summer-ready in an instant. So grab a basket or a box, head around your home and gather up all of the excess papers, old magazines, knickknacks, decorations and other stuff cluttering up your rooms. Feels lighter and brighter already, right?

#2 Move the furniture
You don’t need new furniture to make your home look fresh. Simply rearrange what you’ve already got. Think about the way you and your family spend your time at home during the summer and reposition your furniture and accessories accordingly. Do you love watching your garden blooming? Move your sofa so it faces the windows. Love reading by the windows? Place your lounge chairs and side table closer to the window or on your balcony and create a little lounging place.

#3 Add lighter fabrics
Warmer weather calls for the lighter fabrics. For a breezier look and feel, change your sofa cover and pillows, swap out heavier bedding with linen sheets, replace your thick carpets with thinner brighter kilims and bring in the sunshine by removing the heavy drapes and replacing them with sheer linen curtains.

#4 Add accessories made of natural materials
Nothing says summer more than natural materials like wood, marble and clay. Add your space some warm tones with new chairs made of light wood or brighten up your shelves and side tables with handmade vases, new ceramic candles or oil diffusers.
Surround yourself with things you love: find art and accessories that speak to you and bring you joy or frame some photos to help you hold onto the happy memories. If you prefer your walls blank, a large mirror is a perfect choice that will help reflect light and add a touch of summer glimmer to your space.
#6 Add colorful accents
Bright colors can help you create an uplifting feel but can also easily feel like visual overload. Therefore use them thoughtfully and in small accents. Add a new vase with fresh flowers, a painting, new rug or vibrant ceramics for the fastest possible makeover of the neutral space.

#7 Bring the outdoors in
And finally… put a fresh oulook on your decor with a few easy-to-maintain plants or bouquets of fresh flowers. Head to your local nursery and ask for plants that do well indoors. Then spread them in the corners of the rooms, put them on the table, counters, windowsills and side tables. The plants will not only green up your space, but also make the air in your home cleaner and boost your mood.

Artwork by Célia Euvaldo "I’ve been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colors was black," once said Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
