When we start the spring and summer seasons, my thoughts always turn to home decorating. Maybe it’s because I’m a Southwest Florida realtor, or maybe it’s because dressing up your home by the seasons is just so much fun… in either case, there’s a chance that you enjoy this activity as much as I do. And really, home decorating is perfect whether you’re a long-time resident in your area or on the hunt for your next home across the country. Every season and locale hold their own special choices to make a home all your home. To capture just a hint of the possibilities for spring and summer in 2018, we’re taking a look at a few pieces that can really bring even more life to your home.
Bright Curtains to Enhance Any Room
Probably one of the most affordable ways to add some spring or summer to any room is to swap out your curtains. And with this set, you’ll be adding a light, attractive touch to just about any room you like.
At the same time, this one is a less common tip that I simply love. By adding a new mirror to a room, you can help boost the natural light. And as you can imagine, with all our sunny weather in Southwest Florida, this is a surefire way to make a room feel welcoming.
An Entry Bench for Outdoor Fun
I also like to consider more practical solutions during the spring and summer months. For example, while many people think of entryway benches as appropriate during the wintertime, I think they work perfectly well for those months when the kids or grandkids are constantly at play outside.
A Beautiful Floral Arrangement
During spring and summer, flowers take center stage. So, adding a floral arrangement in your kitchen, dining room, or even your living room can bring the outdoors into your home in a way that works.
But during these months, I also like to decorate with farmer house or vintage-inspired pieces. While you can use these throughout the year, there’s something about them that reminds me of this time of year and all things summer.
Let’s not forget your front door, though. As the gateway to your home, this is one of the spots that can be the most exciting to decorate. Although a floral wreath can add a ton of life to your home, from the moment that guests walk in, since I’m in Southwest Florida, I totally love this shell-inspired piece.
A Cost-Effective Set of Pillows
And speaking of floral decorations, during this time of year, many companies come out with pillows that are perfect for adding that extra touch to your couch. But for those of you in Florida, you might want to also check out this set of coral-inspired pillow covers that have that seaside look you might be going for this spring or summer.
