If you’re like most homeowners, then you probably like to make occasional changes to your home. You don’t necessarily need to make changes to your home, but it’s so easy to get bored with your decor – this is usually why keeping your walls neutral and then using your accessories to switch things up is a good idea! Redecorating can be expensive and should last a long time if done properly, so you need to make sure you truly love a decor theme before you go all in.
Here, we’re going to give you some ideas for making the perfect home update for summer. Take a look and see if you can make any changes listed here:
Paint Your Door A Bright Color
One of the nicest updates you could make to your home for summer could simply be painting your door a new or bright color. Choose your favorite color and paint away – it’ll make your home stand out without being too garish, and you’ll love how it makes your home look happy and unique when you arrive back after a long day!
Incorporate A New Color Or Pattern
Why not incorporate a new color or pattern into your home? Patterns are a great way to brighten up your home, add texture, and make it look more interesting. It’s pretty easy to mix up different patterns too, if you do the following:
- Choose an odd number of patterns – 3 to start is a good idea
- Choose 60% of one pattern, 30% of another, and 10% of another
- Mix up patterns of different sizes
- Pick the same pattern in different sizes and styles
Pressure Wash Your Deck Or Patio
Get your patio or deck ready for plenty of al fresco meals by pressure washing it. You won’t believe how new it looks in such a short time and it’ll really brighten up your outdoor area.
Make Sure Your Home Is Hygienic And Healthy
Summer is the perfect time to air out your home by keeping windows and doors open for as long as you can – but you also want to make sure your home is as hygienic and healthy as possible. Make sure you’re not inviting any pests inside by keeping your bin area clean and tidy, and contact a pest removal company as soon as you notice a potential infestation. Making sure you don’t leave food lying around and wiping down your sides as soon as you have prepared food will also help.
Update Your Appliances
This could be a good time to invest in energy star rated appliances. Even having your current appliances serviced in time for summer could help you to save a lot of money.
Add New Window Dressings
New window dressings could make your home look so much brighter and airier. See if you can get some sheer, light curtains rather than thick and heavy styles.
