HOW TO ARRANGE YOUR LIVING ROOM FOR SUMMER:
TIPS FOR A REFRESHING SPACE
Publication 08.07.2024Summer is the time when our interiors need a bit of refreshment and brightness. The living room, which is the heart of the house, should exude lightness and comfort to become an ideal place for summer relaxation. So how can you transform your living room and adapt its style to the current season? Below are some practical tips.
Bright and light fabrics
In summer, it is worth choosing light and airy materials that will add freshness to the interior, such as silk or linen. Replace heavy curtains with light curtains or blinds in pastel colors. The sofa and armchairs can gain a new look with covers in light shades. Don't forget about decorative pillows with floral or tropical motifs. Those in white, blue and shades of yellow will also work perfectly.
Green plants
Potted plants are a great way to liven up your interior. In summer, choose those that tolerate sun and high temperatures well, such as succulents, ferns and philodendrons. A bouquet of cut peonies, tulips or carnations will also be a great accent in the living room. It will allow you to bring nature inside and enjoy the unique scent of your favorite flowers.
Comfortable accessories
Summer accessories such as woven wicker baskets for newspapers or cotton blankets will make the living room not only stylish but also functional. Choose natural materials that are airy and pleasant to the touch. In summer, it is worth giving up heavy, massive furniture in favor of those with a lighter structure. The glass table and rattan chairs will look modern and will not overwhelm the space. Replace the classic armchair with a hanging bamboo swing or a pile of soft, comfortable pillows. Hang macrame and decorative plates with sea motifs on the wall to create a holiday atmosphere.
Scented candles
Scented candles are an indispensable element of a summer living room. Choose those with fresh and refreshing aromas, such as orange or herbal lemonade. An excellent choice may also be the Citronella candle, which, thanks to the content of essential oils, will fill the space with an extremely invigorating lemon scent. In summer, floral aromas cannot be missing in the interior, so we recommend a candle in a large jar with a lid, White Flowers, or a candle in decorative foil, Wild flowers, which will also be a beautiful decoration of the living room.
Air fresheners
To make the living room always smell fresh, it is also worth using air fresheners. You can choose those in the form of sprays, i.e. a delicate room mist with your favorite scent of peonies or white flowers. You will also find summer aromas in fragrance diffusers. The Aura brand offers a wide selection of floral and fruity fragrances. A scented diffuser with a flower with the scent of fresh flowers will not only delight you with the aroma of freesia and jasmine, but will also bring nature into the interior.
Thanks to these few simple procedures, your living room will become the perfect place to relax and enjoy summer to the fullest. Don't be afraid to experiment and introduce your own ideas to get the effect you want.
