Brighten up your bedroom with colourful décor
If you've been overheating overnight due to summer humidity lately, the sight of bright colours can instantly lift your spirits. So why not add some eye-catching accents to your bedroom? You can try wallpapers with tropical prints or even bedding with vibrant hues like yellow, pink, or blue. You can also introduce some artistic touches with wall art or decorative pieces such as paintings, tapestries, and more.
Pair a nautical painting with blue bedding for a classic maritime look, or opt for a neutral colour scheme and add a touch of coastal flair with accessories. Swap out heavy pillows and blankets for lighter fabrics such as linen and cotton to add a light and airy feel. Transform your guest bedroom into a relaxing seaside resort in no time.

Refresh Your Home with Greenery
Nothing beats the sight of lush greenery to give your home a cool and inviting atmosphere during summertime. And there are plenty of options for any room, indoors or outdoors. For example, you can choose some cascading plants such as ferns and ivy for your living space or opt for larger trees like olive and rubber plants. Consider adding some cheerful annuals or perennials for your outdoor areas like marigolds, petunias, daisies, and begonias. These will add a splash of colour and fill the air with a wonderful scent.

A hammock is the epitome of relaxation
If you have a backyard or terrace, summer is the best time to hang up a hammock. Whether you hang it between trees or attach it to a sturdy frame, hammocks provide a great spot for relaxing. Use it to read a book, catch a quick snooze, or just bask in the gentle summer wind and create a peaceful and relaxing space. For a tropical look, choose a hammock made of lightweight cotton or nylon in bright colours. And if you're looking for something more rustic and homey, there are plenty of options with wooden frames and rope seats. Enjoy the summer breeze while being comfortably suspended in your own personal oasis!

Create an ideal outdoor entertainment space
Summer is all about outdoor gatherings, so it's important to create a space that's perfect for entertaining family and friends. Think about how you want to use your outdoor and patio space for entertaining and then start designing. Add some comfortable seating, a stylish outdoor dining area, or even an outdoor bar. You can also add a fire pit for chilly evenings or string up some party lights for festive summer nights. Lastly, don't forget to add some decorations like colourful rugs and pillows to make the area look more inviting and lively.

It is incredible what difference light and flowy curtains can make
A plush, heavy curtain feels nice in winter but comes summer, it takes away from the atmosphere. Instead, opt for light and flowy curtains that can be pulled back to let in more natural light. Some sheer curtains will allow filtered light to come through and create a beautiful summer ambience indoors. You can also layer two sets of curtains - one sheer set in front of another opaque or semi-opaque curtain - to keep out direct sunlight or add a touch of privacy. Whichever option you choose, the change in atmosphere will be truly remarkable.

Embrace the power of scent
Scent plays a significant role in creating a refreshing and inviting atmosphere. Choose scented candles, diffusers, or room sprays with fragrances that evoke the essence of summer. Citrus scents like lemon, lime, or grapefruit can create a zesty and uplifting ambience. Floral scents like jasmine, lavender, or rose can bring a sense of tranquillity and relaxation. Place scented items strategically throughout your home, such as in the living room, bathroom, or bedroom, to infuse the space with a delightful summer aroma. Just a hint of fragrance can make a big difference in enhancing the overall summer vibe.

A gazebo or outdoor canopy is an amazing addition to any patio
Adding a gazebo or outdoor canopy can instantly elevate the ambience and provide shade on hot summer days. These structures create a cosy and inviting atmosphere on the patio, where you can relax with friends and family and enjoy each other's company in a comfortable outdoor setting. You can choose from various styles, such as a traditional gazebo with a solid roof or a modern canopy with a retractable fabric cover. Decorate the area with string lights, outdoor curtains, and comfortable seating to create a relaxing outdoor retreat. Use it for dining, lounging, or entertaining - it's sure to become a favourite spot in your home.
