Decorating ideas for this summer

Color selection

This is the first point to keep in mind when decorating for summer. There is an appropriate color palette for each season of the year. In the case of summer decoration, the range of colors that will have more prominence are pale colors mixed with a touch of citrus color, such as lime green, or aquatic as turquoise.

The decoration of the environment will usually look in neutral colors and the accent will be placed by placing several pieces of color within a particular place.

But we should not only look at the color. When it comes to choosing the best pieces for summer decoration, the type of print is key. The latest trends highlight botanical, floral or striped prints.

These prints can be found in the texture, in the relief or in the illustrations of the products that we are going to put in our house. The most frequent places where to incorporate the different prints are usually in textile accessories, such as cushions, canvases, curtains and carpets.

Sustainable and eco-friendly options

We live in a key moment and the actions or decisions we take will mark the future of our planet. For this reason, major brands and companies have already started to work on creating sustainable and eco-friendly products to contribute to this radical change of mentality in favor of the planet. It is for this reason that it is increasingly common to find outdoor sofas or sun loungers and hammocks made from natural, sustainable or recyclable materials.

Nowadays, having ecofriendly furniture in our home is not only a matter of fashion, but it is also an attitude of life that we seek to promote. For this reason, this has become a very relevant point among the decoration ideas.

Functional Minimalism

Within the current houses we find a fashion that is maintained from previous years, functional minimalism. All the elements inside our homes that do not fulfill a useful function are eliminated, that is, greater importance is given to useful elements such as lamps, shelves and modern chests of drawers when looking for furniture with character, rather than adding any unnecessary element to our decor.

Terrace at the ready

Always have the terrace or porch ready for use. In addition to keeping this important area of the house functional, it will give the feeling of always being spring or summer in your home. If you don't know how to do it, we have a post on the blog about decorating ideas for terraces

Regarding this point, it is important that the interior and exterior of your home keeps cohesion and continuity. That is, you have to extend the interior in that space outside.

Organic design

In decoration, the shapes and movements of furniture are of great importance in the design of interiors or exteriors. Organic shapes are a summer and winter decorating trend that can not miss in your home.

These organic shapes not only have to be represented with firm and hard textures, such as in vases or furniture finishes, but we can also observe them in textiles.

Furniture and accessories for your summer decoration

We know that changing the furniture from one season to another is not feasible. But there are pieces that will give your home a much more summery look. Besides, you can always add or remove decorative elements to refresh, for example, your modern chests of drawers.

Cheerful decor. Incorporate hints of color with decorative vases or flower pots to brighten up the room. You can also add nature-themed pictures.

Light textiles. It is advisable to replace cushion covers and blankets and plaids with more breathable ones made of cotton or linen.

Fiber for your home. Natural fibers such as jute, rattan or rope, will help you achieve a more relaxed atmosphere with the perfect point of visual warmth. You can add this idea with poufs, baskets, modern home benches or ceiling lamps.

In addition, it is time to change the carpets for those made of natural fibers that are must have in summer decoration and go much more in line with this time of year.

Indoor and outdoor plants. Whether natural or artificial, plants and their colorfulness bring life and summer freshness to any room.

Refreshing and summery table. Combine a linen tablecloth with a beautiful drape and a warm color, with fiber underplates and colorful tableware for contrast.

Fragrances. Turn the scent of your home to a fresher fragrance with a citrus or cotton scent. This small change will add an extra touch to your summer décor.

It is not necessary to apply all these ideas to the summer decoration of your house or apartment. We must never forget the purpose of decorating, to create the best atmosphere in our home, for our guests, but above all for ourselves.
