Summer is finally here as well as the hot weather. Preparing your home to match the new season, it’s all about bright colors and bringing the outside nature into your home. And if you haven’t started on redecorating your home to match the sunny season, here are some tips to get you a head start.
Give your home a breath of fresh air.
It’s time to take out the vases or prepare to buy some new ones, because summer is the perfect time to fill your house with flowers. You can either buy some at the local market or pluck them straight from you garden. A little secret that the flower shops don’t tell you is that they put a little bleach in their flower’s water as it prevents mold from growing, the results will give you longer lasting fresh cut flowers. Put 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of bleach in a quart of warm water (every 4 days for bleach). If you have allergies to flowers, green plants are a great alternative.
Add some splash of color to your home.
Pillow covers are the perfect option when it comes to adding color to your home. 
Don’t be afraid to use bright colors as it’s a pleasant daily reminder for you to enjoy summer’s hot weather. Even your duvet covers and bed sheet can be selected in bright summer colors, as nothing beats waking up surrounded by beautiful colors. A change of colors in your home can make you feel like you are on a vacation sometimes as your surroundings change to brighten up your mood.
Repaint your old furniture.
This should be done earlier in the summer, as when it gets too hot later in the season the temperature will affect the drying of the paint. Sometimes your old furniture just needs a new coat of paint to give it a completely new look. Not only will it save you money, it will save the environment from adding more to the landfills each year. Another tip to changing the look of your cabinets is to buy new knobs or pulls. With a new finish every other year, it will give you a new style with just a fraction of the cost than buying brand new furniture.
