How to freshen up the interior for the summer?

Getting rid of warm things

It's not just about seasonal clothes and shoes that need to be cleaned and stowed away in the back of the closets. In summer, you want freshness, so all woolen blankets, thick carpets and bedspreads, as well as fur skins, are best hidden before the cold weather. The fact is that on hot days these objects unconsciously seem too heavy and dense, causing a feeling of stuffiness. Fluffy carpets can be replaced with mats, and warm synthetic bedspreads with cotton.

Rearranging items

We start small. We inspect the premises and look for things that can be put into boxes or transferred to new owners. So we unload the interior to make it freer and lighter. More space and easier cleaning. After putting things in order, you can move the furniture: by changing the surrounding space, we make it more comfortable and bring variety to life. After the rearrangement, the familiar apartment will seem renewed.

Changing the curtains

An inexpensive and very effective way to update the interior for the summer is to transform the window openings. If the old curtains were with patterns, it is worth purchasing plain products, and vice versa - a calm, monotonous space can be easily refreshed with bright geometric prints. Here are some more options for changing the appearance of the window:

• Change the color of the curtains to the opposite.
• Hang light or, on the contrary, dense curtains that protect from the sun.
• Buy blinds, roman or roller blinds.
• Get rid of curtains completely by adding light and optically expanding the space of the room.

We use summer decor

We display everything that is associated with summer or beach holidays. Green or yellow towels, a tablecloth with a floral or leafy pattern, paintings depicting the sea or forest, seashells. Anything wicker will be appropriate: baskets, chests, rugs and even hats. Transparent vases with flowers or cut branches will do.

Add colors

To make the interior bright in summer, you can literally add colors. With the help of modern compositions, it is easy to update any furniture without resorting to the services of professionals. Water-based paints are almost odorless and really enjoyable to work with. You can update shelves, bedside tables, doors and even a kitchen set. It is better to train on small objects - for example, paint chairs.

We decorate the sofa

Even the strictest sofa can be transformed into a modern and stylish one: the main thing is to choose the right pillows. If the product is monochromatic, it will not be difficult - today bright colors, original inscriptions, black and white prints are relevant. For a sofa with boring patterns, you can purchase or sew a cover, cover it with a new fabric, or simply cover it with a suitable bedspread. One of the most budgetary options is to order pillowcases and change them in accordance with the seasons.

We decorate the wall

In order to completely transform a room, it is not necessary to change the entire decoration. If the room is painted, you can cover the only empty wall with contrasting paint or paint it.For soundly pasted wallpaper, special paint is suitable, which will allow you to modify the interior without special costs. If large-scale projects do not inspire enthusiasm, it is enough to hang a composition of posters on the wall or attach summer photos with a cord and clothespins.

Create the tropics

It's no secret that green spaces can liven up an interior, but not all houseplants create a summer atmosphere. To make the apartment reminiscent of hot countries, exotic palm trees are suitable. The most unpretentious of them:

• Fan.
• Reed (high rapeseed).
• Hamedorea is graceful.

One of the popular plants that create a summer mood is the monstera, which grows to a large size. For those who do not want the hassle of transplants, chlorophytum is suitable: it grows quickly and actively purifies the air. It can be placed on top shelves or hung in a planter. It is not necessary to fill the entire apartment with greenery: even a single large palm tree can change the situation.

We design a mini-resort

In order not to waste time and effort on transforming the entire interior, you can equip a single corner with outdoor furniture and accessories. To do this, you need to choose a sufficiently illuminated place in the apartment and furnish it at your discretion: a wicker or just a bright armchair, an ottoman bag, a canopy, pillows will fit. You can also arrange a "resort" on the loggia or balcony.

Engaging emotions

To create a sunny atmosphere, you can influence more than just the tactile and visual senses. We remember everything that lifts the mood and mentally transfers to a summer day: our favorite smells, sounds and tastes. You can use sachets, aromatic oils with mint, berry and fruit aromas, hang "wind chimes" from shells, turn on the sounds of the sea or the forest, and put a dish of fruit on the table.

Having shown imagination and using our recommendations, you can add summer colors, freshness and sun to the interior, thereby improving your mood for a long time.
