Light and airy for the Summer!

Refreshing your home for summer can make it feel brighter, airier, and more welcoming. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

1. Lighten Up Your Fabrics

• Swap Out Heavy Curtains: Replace thick, dark curtains with sheer or light-colored ones to let in more natural light.
• Change Bedding: Opt for lighter, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen for your bed. Consider lighter colors or floral patterns.
• Add Throw Pillows: Use vibrant, summery colors and patterns for throw pillows on your sofa and chairs.

2. Declutter and Organize

• Simplify Decor: Remove excess items and keep surfaces clear to create a more open and airy feel.
• Organize Closets: Store away winter clothes and bring out lighter summer attire. Use baskets and bins to keep everything tidy.

3. Bring the Outdoors In
