Home Decor Ideas For Summer

Summer is generally very pleasant & awaited season in most of the countries. But Indian Summers can be really harsh for this tropical country. Hot winds & sweltering heat are most common components of Indian Summers. And most of the time is spent indoors during summer to beat the heat. 

So when you are going to indoor for a longer time, it’s about time to give your home a beautiful makeover & make it summer ready. So today I am sharing few tips with all of you about how to give your home refreshing look in this dull & little unpleasant Indian Summer!

1. First impression lasts long

In the scorching heat, an interesting entrance to the home can be quite welcoming. Lovely entrance can make you feel bit refreshed even before stepping your foot into the home. You can decorate your entrance with potted plants, terracotta figurines, artefacts like lanterns etc. As most of the doors are wooden finish in India, colouring the door of your home in bright colour is also refreshing take on having an interesting entrance way. 

2. Give your home subtle hues & brighter prints.

Painting your home in pastel or aqua shades can also bring a cooling effect all over the home. As you calm down the home with subtle colours, you can bring the excitement with brighter upholstery. Floral prints never go wrong in summers. But in India lots of other motif designs are available for upholstery, linen, curtains etc.

3. Remove the rugs.

Rugs are cosy and inviting during cold winters. But in summers, give your flooring a breather by removing those heavy and textured rugs. Your feet will also enjoy the touch of naked flooring. 

 4. Make the curtains lighter.

                

            

Like rugs, heavy and thick curtains are also an absolute no-no for summers. Replace your heavy and dark curtains with lighter, sheer cotton curtains. They will keep the home light and breezy and also will save you from direct sunlight.

5. Bring out your finest china

As summer is a holiday season in India, it is good time to enjoy parties and get-togethers with your friends and family. While planning the detailed menu for the parties, also take out your best cutlery, bright napkins, beautiful napkin holders, small dining table accessories to keep the party happening.

6. Pay attention to outdoors

Summery afternoons can be unbearable in India but early mornings & evenings can be pleasant. To enjoy a cosy evening, you can have a beautiful day bed or patio swing in your veranda. A dab of sun screen on the skin, good book & a tempting summer cooler, then you are good to go!!!

7. Let the greenery in.

                   

Create a small green corner in your home. Sight of beautiful plants can soothe your mind. There are various ways to put up good display of plants. Let your creative side come out with the greenery. Beautiful seasonal flowers with fresh fragrance will also brighten up the dull summer mood.

8. Re-arrange your furniture

Cheapest way of giving your home a new look is rearranging your existing furniture. You can rearrange it in such a way that no sitting place will come under direct sun and also it will give a very new and different look to your home. Throw in some bright colored & printed cushions to cheer up the mood.

Make your home summer friendly with these few little tips and enjoy the summer!
