Let's Welcome The Season of Warm Weather With These 11 Elegant Ideas For A Dreamy Home Makeover
A new season is a great opportunity to give your house a minor update. If you want the inside of your house to feel fresh and bright in the summertime to match the cheerful sunshine outside, some simple yet elegant decor ideas can make a huge difference. Here are 10 decorating ideas to inspire a summer home makeover.
1) Pick a warm colour for the walls
Warm shades can fill your rooms with light and make the area look larger. You will be pleasantly surprised at how well it fills the space. You can add minimal wooden furniture to create balance. Accent decoration also gives a perfect contrast.?
2) A wallpaper mural
A wallpaper complete with a scenic mural is a fantastic way to makeover any room. Not only does a mural add drama and impact to a room - it's also the most cost-effective way of buying a large-scale artwork for your wall.Consider edging your mural by creating a frame from decorative mouldings such as picture rails, which are cheap to buy from hardware stores and can be painted to blend in with the wall or picked out in a contrasting colour.

3) Swap heavy curtains for sheers and layers
Most designers would agree that heavy curtains would be making their way out of our homes this year in favour of lighter and brighter window coverings, and we all know there is nothing like sunlight streaming into the house on a spring morning to lift the mood. Lighter, sheer fabrics are the key to creating a softer look; high-quality options are available in wool and linen. Silk is another good choice and is slightly decadent. If you really must block out the light, even just during the night, adding a black out-blind can facilitate this while allowing you to keep your light and bright daytime look.
4) Add plants
Adding plants to your home is a great way to decorate without clutter. Indoor plants in room corners and shelves can make your home look fresher. Plants will add a classic touch to your home, improve your home's air quality, and make you feel close to nature.
5) Elevate your old furniture
Old and tired furniture hidden away or discovered in the auction room can be given a new lease of life with a fresh coat of paint to go with your chosen colour scheme; pastels, violet and navy are all making a comeback. If you are interested in something a little more hands-on, you could even try your hand at reupholstery. Earthy hues and global prints are hot right now; if you are a globetrotter, it's the perfect time to begin accessorizing on your travels; bright Indian prints or traditional Chinese florals are ideal.
6) Cushions make a huge difference
Buy a few plain cushions in a standard size, such as 40-by-40 cm, and dress them up with cushion covers to suit the season or the latest colour and design trends. Choose animal prints, chevron patterns or large floral designs to set the mood and bring the summer season in. Swap them as often as possible to give your couch or bed a new look.
7) Update your artwork
A new season is a great time to update the art pieces around the house. This can be done by switching the pictures in the frames already hanging and picking photographs with a summer look. You can also hang different objects that remind you of travelling.Switching the artwork, just like moving your furniture around, will give your eyes something new and fresh to look at and bring new energy to the room.
8) Brand-new table setting
Placing fresh, bright flowers at your dining table's centre will make a huge difference. You can also get a new set of dishes with a pop of colours as well as new washable napkins with summer patterns on them.
9) Invest in new rugs
Rugs can bring a lot to any room of your house because they can make a room feel more full, inviting, and completely decorated.For your summer home makeover, swap out old rugs and bring new rugs into spaces that don't have any. You can make a rug work in almost any room as long as you coordinate the patterns and colours with other decors in the room.Place a large rug in your living room, a comfy rug by your kitchen sink, a water-resistant rug outside your bathtub, and a long runner in your hallway.
10) Try going white
Throughout the summer, the days are much longer and brighter, which means we get more natural light. This should be made the most of when it comes to the interior of your home. Inviting as much natural light into the room as possible and using white as a base colour can help this.Try to keep furniture and key pieces white or light stone, and then use wall art and subtle décor items to add a pop of colour. This allows you to embrace summer's natural brightness and beautiful bold colours – the best of both worlds.
11) Pay attention to the entrance
Last but not least, take a look at your front door. Summer is usually when we host more dinner parties, so welcome your guests starting at the front door!Get a new welcome mat, add potted fresh flowers by the entrance, and hang a summer wreath. And, of course, this isn't just for your guests! You will undoubtedly be enjoying it every day, too!
