The sunny season is just around the corner and we certainly don’t want to keep the winter feel lingering on in our homes. We want summer’s fresh spirit to take over our surroundings and brighten up our days. Now don’t go furniture shopping just yet, because believe it or not, you can do wonders by just using elements you probably already have at home. With this in mind, here are some tips to pamper your house and welcome a beautiful summer.

1 – Starting with your living room, nothing beats the freshness of flowers. However, for a more creative feel, line the vase’s sides with slices of lemon before you place the flowers in for a fresher visual.

2 – There are tons of ideas for outdoor decoration, but we have chosen only two for you. Do you know those tiny colorful umbrellas that you find at the supermarket? Use them to make the perfect summer wreath to decorate the wall. The other idea consists of using unneeded lightbulbs that you can from the ceiling with a marine rope and place battery-operated candles inside. You will immediately realize the welcoming feel this creation adds to the atmosphere.

3 – The school year will soon be over so instead of hanging their backpacks on the walls of their rooms, opt for some striped towels. Nothing beats the look which exudes the summer vibes.

4 – Finally, brighten up your rooms with flowers, seashells, colorful pillows and bed linen sets that scream “summer vibes”, and maybe add some vacation souvenirs to the mix.
