Just like your wardrobe, your home also needs a seasonal change

This time should almost had to be summer time, but who can change the whether other then nature itself. Hope things turn out to be normal soon!

So lets talk about something interesting and exciting. Are you bored with the same old decor at your home?Is it even going to help in keeping you calm and relaxed in these summer months too?

Just like your wardrobe, your home also needs a seasonal change, and playing around with different colors or adding certain elements can help a great deal in bringing a refreshing new look to your home space.

Summer signifies blue sky and sunshine, so opting for soothing colours can instantly calm your mind every time you step into home. Here are some interesting ideas to spruce up your home without much fuss:

Paint it Pastel

If you are thinking to paint your walls why not use light and bright neutrals instead of dark paint colours.

Painting your walls in soothing pastel shades like mint, dusty pink or beige is a great way to welcome summer. A well-done, accent wall in summer shades for a living room or bedroom can be a head turner.

Experimenting with wallpapers/murals or a contrasting shade can do the trick. In places of extreme heat, soothing pastel blues, lilacs and greens will bring a cooling effect in the home.

Plant it with Purpose

A natural way to enhance the quality of air and keeping our homes cooler in summers is to go for indoor plants. Plants can keep your house cool because they lose water during transpiration, which cools the air around the plants, leaving it purified and fresh.

Plants absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. A lot of potted plants are known to remove harmful toxins from air and bring down ambient temperatures, while also adding to the decor of the house. Plants tend to control humidity to within the optimum range for human health as well. Although you probably have a pot or two around your home for aesthetic purposes, you may want to consider incorporating certain plants in more numbers into your home that can not only keep the air cool, but flush out any toxins as well.

So, do not wait. This summer, try and get some of these much sought-after plants home and experience the difference. You will feel cooler, energized and positive, and may notice a significant improvement in your concentration and productivity levels too. 

Peppy Cushions & Light Curtains

Nothing adds charm to a room faster than change in soft finishes. Add in some happy summer effect to your pastel of white walls with some lace or crochet cushions. You can also opt for bold coloured cushions with geometric or abstract patterns.

Some plain cushions enhanced with bobbles and tassels also add an element of fun to a room. A mix and match of coloured patterns will add a bohemian feel to your bedroom.

Shades of blue and green are summer favourites for a reason; they help in bringing about a calming effect.

Keep it light for your drapery. Get rid of heavy prints and darks tones.For your living room, pick sheer curtains to let in cool breeze and natural light into your home. For your bedroom, take a break from traditional patterned curtains and simple blinds and invest in chic looking textured drapes in a variety of opaque hues to match your décor scheme.

With an extra-wide curtain, you can sweep it to the side during the day to embrace the asymmetry.

At places where the heat is extreme, a combination of sheer and opaque curtains would work best to keep out the scorching afternoon sun. Khus curtains are also popular where you can spray them with scented water to add a cooling effect to the room.

Fragrance & Summer

And for the last the simplest way to keep your home fresh and healthy is to add in some fragrance.

Essential oils are some of the best natural supplies to keep in your home. Besides being incredibly versatile, easy to use and easy to find, these potent natural substances can improve health in so many different ways. From sleep and stress to skin and hair care, essential oils can positively impact almost every aspect of our well-being.

With spring now far behind us and the summer season blooming, nows a great time to take stock of what you have and add to your collection others that will serve you well during these months.

Hope this blog post helps you in some way to bring in a happy and fresh makeover to your home. Thank you for reading 🙂
